Mazda Radar Cruise Control
Setting the MRCC
When the Mode 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 multi-display.
The indicator light in the multi-display
and the Active Driving Display will be
green and will turn on simultaneously.
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 and 90 mph and the system will maintain a
safe following distance without having to turn the cruise control off.
MRCC WARNING: MRCC shuts off when it reaches the low mph limit. “BRAKE”
is displayed. The vehicle will not brake/stop by itself.
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.
NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is
located behind the Mazda emblem in
the grill. Keep this area clean to avoid
the system not working properly.

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.
•
The s

ystem determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
•
It ma

y be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 12.5 mph.
•
Whe

n the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system
is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph, the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is
displayed in the Multi-information Display).
•
SCB

S automatic brake is released approximately two
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)
Laser Sensor

22
Smart Brake Support
SMART BRAKE SUPPORT (SBS) (if equipped)
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver
of a possible collision using an indicator and warning sound in the
instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at about 10 mph or
faster and the system’s radar sensor determines that your vehicle may
hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor determines that
a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control is performed to
reduce damage in the event of a collision. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes operate more quickly to assist
the driver.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Radar sensor Laser sensor
Collision Warning
If there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead, the
beep sounds continuously and a warning is indicated in the
Multi-information Display.
Smart City Brake Support
SBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings in MAZDA CONNECT.
(see page 10)
WARNING: SBS is only a supplementary system to reduce damage in the
event of a collision; however, the SBS has limitations. Do not rely solely on the
SBS . Always keep your eyes on the road.

23Use the LDWS switch to
turn system ON or OFF.
WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary system to
warn the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from
its lane ; however, the LDWS has limitations. Do not rely
solely on the LDWS. Relying solely on the LDWS may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in death or
serious injury. Always pay attention to the direction in
which the vehicle is traveling and drive safely.
NOTE: Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.
Lane-keep Assist System and
Lane Departure Warning System
LAN E-KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM (LAS) and
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (if equipped)
The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) and Lane
Departure Warning System (LDWS) recognize the
painted lane lines using the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) installed on the windshield.
• If the vehicle deviates from its lane
at speeds above 37 mph, the
system alerts the driver to provide
steering assistance and uses the
following indications to help
the driver stay within the lines.

Distance Recognition Support System
DISTANCE RECOGNITION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DRSS)
(if equipped)
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while
the vehicle speed is 19 mph or faster and indicates a recommended distance
to maintain between the vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a
vehicle ahead more closely than the appropriate distance to maintain between
the vehicles, the vehicle ahead indication in the display is illuminated\
in white
to advise the driver to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
•
The B

SM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
•
The dr

iver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
•
Alw

ays pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
•
The B

SM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than
about 6.2 mph.
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph or more, the BSM will
war
n you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
•
If yo

u operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
•
BSM s

ensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

Blind Spot Monitoring SystemRear Cross Traffic Alert
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph.
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph, RCTA will notify
the driver with indicators and sound:
•
Rear

View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
•
Bee

p sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Object Detected Object Detected
WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up;
however, R C TA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle . Do not rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.

AUTO: The rain sensor senses the amount of rainfall and turns the wipers on
or off. Rotating the inner ring clockwise (away from you) creates greater wiper
sensitivity and makes the wipers move faster. The “+” position increases wiper
speed. Rotating the inner ring counterclockwise (toward you) makes the wipers
move slower. The “-” position decreases wiper speed.
NOTE: Vehicles not equipped with AUTO wipers will have INT wipers. Set
the lever to INT and choose an interval timing by rotating the ring between
fast and slow.
