How to Set the Speed
1. Adjust the vehicle speed to the desired
setting using the accelerator pedal.
2. Headway control begins when the
SET
or SETswitch is pressed.
The set speed and the inter-vehicle
distance display filled with white lines
are displayed. The Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) indicator light (green)
is indicated simultaneously.
Travel status Display
During travel at constant
speed
During travel under
headway control
NOTElIf a vehicle ahead is detected while
traveling at a constant speed, the vehicle-
ahead indication is displayed and headway
control is performed. Additionally, when a
vehicle ahead is no longer detected, the
vehicle-ahead indication turns off and the
system switches back to travel at constant
speed.
lIf you are driving the vehicle at a speed
faster than the set speed, headway control
on the vehicle ahead is not possible Adjust
the system to the desired vehicle speed
using the accelerator pedal.
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.

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 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 accelerate using the accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press
and release the SET
or SETswitch 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
lWhen accelerating using the SETswitch
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 display in the
instrument cluster.
lWhen depressing the accelerator pedal, the
inter-vehicle distance display in the display
in the instrument cluster changes to the
white-line display.
lThe 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.

qCruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is canceled and
only the cruise control function operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise control function on
expressways and other highways which
do not require a lot of repeated
acceleration and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control function
in the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
ØRoads with sharp curves and
where vehicle traffic is heavy and
there is insufficient space between
vehicles. (Driving under these
conditions using the cruise control
function is not possible)
ØSteep down slopes (Set speed may
be exceeded because sufficient
engine braking cannot be applied)
ØSlippery roads such as ice or
snow-bound roads (Tires could
spin causing you to lose vehicle
control)
Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will
not operate after the headway
control function is canceled and the
system is switched to only the cruise
control function. Depress the brake
pedal to decelerate according to the
surrounding conditions while keeping
a safer distance from the vehicle

NOTElUnder the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
lThe rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as an
unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top, vehicles with
a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
lVehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.lVisibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its tires and
onto your windshield.
lThe trunk/luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
lIce, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.lDuring inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.lWhen driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.lUnder the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions.
lThe beginning and end of a curve.lRoads with continuous curves.lNarrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.lThe vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.lThe vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.lRoads with repeated up and down slopeslDriving on poor roads or unpaved roads.lThe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.lA vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.lTo prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size, manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires with significantly
different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including the temporary spare tire).
lIf the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.lWhen driving on roads with little traffic and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the radar
sensor (front) to detect,“Radar blocked”may be temporarily displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
