*Some models.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)*
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control*1
according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect \
the distance to a vehicle
ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h (19 mph) an\
d 145 km/h (90 mph),
the driver is freed from having to constantly use the accelerator or bra\
ke pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the ve\
hicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for ex\
ample, the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are
activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a sufficient distance between the vehicles.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other highways
which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system and always
drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load on the driver,
and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or specifically, it maintains a constant
distance between your vehicle and the detected vehicle ahead according to the vehicle
speed, the system has detection limitations depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its
conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system may
be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead
applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which could result in
an accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the following locations.
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
 Roads with sharp cur ves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is insufficient
space between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways
(If you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer
be tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control). Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power).
For the purposes of safety, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system off
when it is not being used.

release the switch at the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph)
increments) by pressing the switch and
releasing it immediately. For example, if
the switch is pressed 4 times, the set speed
increases by about 4 km/h (4 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the
SET
or SET switch at the desired
speed.
If the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you release
your foot from the accelerator pedal.
How to Decrease the Set Speed
Press the SET
switch continuously and
release the switch at the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph) increments)
by pressing the switch and releasing it
immediately. For example, if the switch
is pressed 4 times, the set vehicle speed
decreases by about 4 km/h (4 mph).
Cancelling the function
Cancelling using OFF/CAN switch
When the OFF/CAN switch is pressed
once, the cruise control function is
cancelled. Cancelling using MODE switch
When the MODE switch is pressed, the
cruise control function is canceled and
the headway control function is made
available for operation.
The cruise control function is canceled
automatically in the following cases. If the
RES switch is pressed while the vehicle
speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher, the
speed returns to the original set speed.
 The OFF/CAN switch is pressed once. The brake pedal is depressed. The parking brake is applied.
(Manual transaxle)
 The clutch pedal is depressed. The shift lever is shifted to neutral
position.
(Automatic transaxle)
 The selector lever is shifted to P or N
position.
NOTE
 If the vehicle speed decreases by about
15 km/h (9.4 mph) or more than the set
speed, the cruise control function may
be canceled.
 When the vehicle speed is less than
21 km/h (13 mph), the cruise control
function is canceled. In this case, the
vehicle speed will not return to the
original set speed even if the vehicle
is accelerated to 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher and the RES switch is pressed.
Reset the cruise control function.
