Mazda Radar Cruise Control
MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following distance using
a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the
vehicle speed between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h) and the
system will maintain a safe following distance without having to turn the
cruise control off.
Setting the MRCC
When the ON switch is pushed,
the vehicle speed and the
distance between vehicles
while in headway control can
be set. The MRCC indication
is shown in the display of the
instrument cluster.
The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:
Constant Speed Mode When no vehicle is detected ahead,
the driver’s set speed is maintained.
Headway Control Mode When a vehicle is detected ahead,
a distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is maintained.

driver of a possible collision using an indicator in the active driving \
display
and instrument cluster along with a warning sound. The system operates
when driving at 10 mph (15 km/h) or faster and
the system’s radar sensor determines that your
vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.

2 Push the SET + or SET – switch. The set speed and the inter-vehicle
distance display filled with white lines is displayed in the active driving

resulting in death or serious injur y. Always keep your eyes on the road.

Smart City Brake Support
SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by automatically applying the
vehicle’s braking system when the system’s laser sensor detects an
imminent collision with the vehicle ahead:
• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidab\
le.
• It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 12.5 mph (20 km/h).
• When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system
is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h),
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS
Automatic Brake is displayed in the Multi-information Display)
• SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2
seconds after the vehicle comes to a stop.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
SCBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings
in MAZDA CONNECT. (see page 10)
