How to change the set vehicle speed
To accelerate/decelerate using the SET
switch
When you press the SET
switch, the
vehicle accelerates and when you press the
SET
switch, it decelerates.
Short press 1 km/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 increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press
and release the SET
switch 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.
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. For the set vehicle speed, check
the set vehicle speed indication in the
display.
While depressing the accelerator pedal,
the color of the MRCC indication
changes from green to white.
Canceling the system
If any of the following operations is done,
the MRCC cancels temporarily, the
MRCC set indication (green) switches to
the MRCC main indication (white), and
the MRCC indicator light (green) turns off
at the same time.
The OFF/CAN switch is pressed.
The brake pedal is depressed.

Do not use the LAS&LDWS in the following cases:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions, resulting
in an accident.
Driving on roads with tight curves.
 Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
 Roads with heavy
traffic and
insufficient distance between vehicles.
 Roads with no white (yellow) lane lines.
 Narrow roads resulting from road construction or lane closures.
 The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from road
construction where there may be multiple white (yellow) lane lines or they are interrupted.
 Vehicle is driven on roads other than expressways and highways.
 The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
 Tires of a different specified size are used, such as an emergency spare tire.
CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so that the LAS&LDWS can operate normally.
Do not modify the suspensions.
 Always use wheels of the
specified type and size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
NOTE
When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LAS&LDWS is
automatically disabled. The LAS&LDWS becomes operational again when the turn signal
lever is returned and the system detects white (yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being
driven normally within its vehicle lane.
If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LAS&LDWS operation is temporarily canceled. The
LAS&LDWS becomes operational again when the system detects white (yellow) lane lines
while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
If the vehicle deviates from its lane repe atedly within a short period of time, the
LAS&LDWS may not operate.
When white (yellow) lane lines are not detected, the LAS&LDWS does not operate.
Under the following conditions, the LAS&LDWS may not be able to detect white (yellow)
lane lines correctly and it may not operate normally.
If an object placed on the dashboard is reflected in the windshield and picked up by the
camera.

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 b ecome 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.
Station 2
88.3 MHz
Station 1

Completely read the instruction manual
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
Do not use discs with cellophane tape
adhering, partially peeled off labels, or
adhesive material exuding from the
edges of the CD label. Also, do not use
discs with a commercially-available
CD-R label affixed. The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
▼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 Organization 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.

such as pay-audio or audio-on-demand
applications. An independent license for
such use is required. For details, please

(Type B)
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.
*1 Windows Media and Microsoft are
registered tradema rks of Microsoft
Corporation U.S. in the United States
and other countries.
