For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors.
These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
Driver awareness support systems
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on
the driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each
system has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely solely on the systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognise
potential hazards and avert accidents.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
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, which frees the driver from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for example, 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.
The possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
•(European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
•(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
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.
WARNING
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations. Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
•Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive
acceleration and deceleration occur.
•When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways.
•Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
•Long descending slopes.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system may be cancelled during rain,
fog, snow or other inclement weather conditions, or when the front surface of the
radiator grille is dirty.
NOTE
In the following cases, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is temporarily
cancelled, 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. In addition, for vehicles equipped with the active driving
display, the colour of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator light
changes from green to white.
• The OFF/CAN switch is pressed once.
• The brake pedal is depressed.
• The parking brake is applied.
The selector lever is shifted to park (P), neutral (N) or reverse (R).
• The DSC, Smart Brake Support (SBS) system, Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) or Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) has
operating.
• A system malfunction is detected.
Other details are described in the related text.
• (Automatic transaxle)
• (Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the reverse (R) position .
• Any door is opened.
• The driver's seat belt is unfastened.

How to Set the Distance Between Vehicles During Headway Control
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance each time the switch is
pressed. The distance between vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressing the
switch. The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short,
and extremely short distance.

Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead
because the vehicle applies the brakes suddenly while
you are travelling in headway control, the warning
sound activates and the brake warning is indicated in
the display.
Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and
depress the brake pedal while keeping a safer distance
from the vehicle ahead. Additionally, always keep a
safer distance from the vehicles behind you.
