Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) (Manual
Transmission)
*
▼Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
The MRCC system is designed to maintain
headway control
*1 with a vehicle ahead
according to your vehicle's speed using a
front radar sensor to detect the distance to
the vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle
speed without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead detected by the MRCC
system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing
in on the vehicle ahead such as if 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.
Also refer to the following before using
the MRCC.
Front radar sensor (page 4-204)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
The MRCC 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 drive carefully and verify the
surrounding conditions and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC system in the
following locations. Using the MRCC
system at the following locations may
result in an unexpected accident:
 General roads other than highways
(Driving under these conditions using the
MRCC system is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy with insufficient
space between vehicles, or roads where
frequent and repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under these
conditions using the MRCC 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).

Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
(To accelerate/decelerate using the RES
switch)
When the RES switch is pressed up (SET
+), the vehicle accelerates and when the
RES switch is pressed down (SET-), it
decelerates.
Press and release immediately: 1 km/h
(1 mph)
Press and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
(To increase speed using accelerator
pedal)
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the
RES switch up (SET+) or down (SET-) 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.
NOTE
The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
Canceling the system
When the following operations are
performed, the MRCC system is canceled,
and the MRCC set indication (green)
switches to the MRCC standby indication
(white) at the same time.
The CANCEL switch is pressed.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position.

Under the following conditions, the
MRCC cancel indication is displayed in
the multi-inform ation display and a single
beep sound is heard.
The DSC has operated.
The Smart Brake Su pport (SBS) has
operated.
When traveling on a downslope for a
long period of time.
There is a problem with the system.
The vehicle speed decreases to less than
25 km (16 mph).
The shift lever is sh ifted to neutral (N)
for a certain period of time.
The clutch is depressed for a certain
period of time.
The engine stalls.
The front radar sensor cannot detect
target objects (during rain, fog, snow or
other inclement weather conditions, or
when the radiator grille is dirty).
The parking brake is applied.
Any of the doors is opened.
The driver's seat belt is unfastened.
The operation frequency of the braking
by the MRCC control is high.
Resuming control
If the MRCC system is canceled, you can
resume control at the previously set speed
by pressing the RES switch and after all of
the operation conditions have been met.
NOTE
If the set speed is not indicated in the
display, the control does not resume even
if the RES switch is pressed.
Turning off the system
When the MRCC switch is pressed while
the MRCC is operating, the MRCC turns
off.

The shift-up or shift-down request display
might be displayed while the MRCC is
operating. When this occurs, shift gears
because the gear position is not
appropriate.

Shift down Shift Do wn to a Lower Gear
NOTE
If the gears are not shifted up even
though the shift-up request indication is
displayed, load will be applied to the
engine and the MRCC might be
automatically canceled or engine
damage could occur.
If the gears are not shifted down even
though the shift-down request indication
is displayed, the MRCC might be
automatically canceled or engine
stalling could occur.

 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 (Tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control, or the stop hold
control may not operate.)
 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.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle
ahead may not be detected correctly,
your vehicle may slide while stopped by
the stop hold control, and it may
accelerate suddenly after it starts
moving.)
 Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC with
Stop & Go function system off when it is not
being used.
Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go function
system turned on when it is not in use is
dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
