Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the
SET switch
Press the SET
switch to accelerate.
Press the SET
switch to decelerate.
The set vehicle speed changes as follows
each time the SET switch is pressed.
Short press 1km/h (1 mph)
Long press 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
For example, the set vehicle speed is
changed by pressing the SET switch four
times as follows:
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
To accelerate using the accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press
and release the SET
or SET switch at
the desired speed. If a switch cannot be
operated, the system returns to the set
speed when you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
NOTE
 When accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set
vehicle speed can be adjusted but
acceleration is not possible. If there is
no longer a vehicle ahead, acceleration
continues until reaching the set vehicle
speed. Check the set vehicle speed by
viewing the set vehicle speed display in
the active driving display.
 When depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance display in the
active driving display changes to the
white-line display.
 The minimum settable speed is 30 km/h
(19 mph). If the set vehicle speed
reaches 30 km/h (19 mph) using the
switch operation, constant speed travel
is maintained at about 30 km/h (19
mph) even if the SET
switch is
pressed. The Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system is not canceled.
To Deactivate
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
is deactivated when the OFF/CAN switch
is pressed twice.
When the system is temporarily
canceled
In the following cases, the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC) is temporarily
canceled, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) set indication (green) is turned
off, and the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) main indication (white) is turned
on.
 The OFF/CAN switch is pressed once. The brake pedal is depressed. The parking brake is applied.

uptly and the vehicle
moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the d\
river is making a lane
change and the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
 Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator
grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), and do not replace
the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the radar sensor (front).
 The radar sensor (front) includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's
front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this
occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the radar sensor
(front) clean.
 Do not install a grille guard. If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of
the radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always
have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its
position deviated.
 Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front). For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer. Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modified, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.

Cruise Control
To Increase Cruising Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase speed using cruise control
switch
Press the RES/
switch and hold it. Your
vehicle will accelerate. Release the switch
at the desired speed.
Press the RES/
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will increase the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Increasing speed with a single RES/

switch operation
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate
to the desired speed. Press the SET

switch and release it immediately.
NOTE
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is on.
Greater speed will not interfere with or
change the set speed. Take your foot off the
accelerator to return to the set speed.
To Decrease Cruising Speed
Press the SET switch and hold it. The
vehicle will gradually slow.
Release the switch at the desired speed.
Press the SET
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will decrease the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Decreasing speed with a single SET

switch operation
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
To Resume Cruising Speed at
More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If some other method besides the OFF/
CAN switch was used to cancel cruising
speed (such as applying the brake pedal)
and the system is still activated, the most
recent set speed will automatically resume
when the RES/
switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25
km/h (16 mph) or more and press the
RES/
switch.
To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
 Slightly depress the brake pedal. (Manual transaxle)
Depress the clutch pedal. Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the RES/ switch is pressed when the
vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.

Interior Features
Audio System
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the reflected signal
at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.
Reflected wave
Direct
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterized by sound breakup.
Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

Operating Tips for MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,
which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
This unit plays files with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 files.
*1 International Or ganization for
Standardization
CAUTION
Do not use an audio file extension on
files other than audio files. In addition,
do not change the audio file extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the file correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.

 This audio system handles MP3 files
that have been recorded on CD-R/CD-
RW/CD-ROMs.
 When naming an MP3 file, be sure to
add an MP3 file extension (.mp3) after
the file name.
 The number of characters which can be
displayed is restricted.
Operating Tips for WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media*1 Audio
and is the audio compression format used
by Microsoft
*1.
Audio data can be created and stored at a
higher compression ratio than MP3.
This unit plays files with the extension
(.wma) as WMA files.
