Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert (RCTA) *
T h e R e a r C r o s s T r a f ¿ c Alert (RCTA) system is designed to assist the driver in checking the
area to the rear of the vehicle on both sides while the vehicle is reversing by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles approaching the rear of the vehicle.
The Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles approaching from the left
and right sides of the vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed out of a parking space,
and noti ¿ es the driver of possible danger using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights and the warning buzzer.

Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert (RCTA) operation
1. The Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert (RCTA) system operates when the shift lever (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights À ashes and the warning beep is activated
simultaneously.
(With rear view monitor)
The Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert (RCTA) warning indication in the rearview monitor also
synchronizes with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light on the door
mirrors.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when
putting the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this
system, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not À ash or it
might be delayed even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the rear.

light turns on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indication/warning light remains illuminated, have the vehicle
inspected at an Authorised Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights has occurred.
A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle
has occurred.
There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear).
Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
The temperature near the radar sensors becomes extremely hot due to driving for
long periods on slopes during the summer.
The battery voltage has decreased.

NOTE
In the following cases, it may be dif ¿ cult to view the illumination/ À ashing of the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.
Snow or ice adheres to the door mirrors.
The front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.

NOTE
During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle
in conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to
accelerate for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to
close in on the vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate
using the brake pedal depending on the conditions.
While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is in use, it does not cancel
even if the selector lever (automatic transaxle)/shift lever (manual transaxle) is
operated and any intended engine braking will not occur. If deceleration is required,
lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.
The brake lights are illuminated while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
automatic braking is operating, however, they may not be illuminated while the
vehicle is on a down slope at the set vehicle speed or travelling at a constant speed and
following a vehicle ahead.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) warning light (amber) illuminates when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 . The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to
only cruise control. Refer to Cruise Control Function on page 4-145 .
