conditions are met.
y The vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph).
y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on.
y The parking brake is not applied.
y The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is not malfunctioning.
y The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating normally.
y The selector lever is in the drive (D) position or manual (M) position (manual mode).
y In the following cases, the warnings may not activate even if your vehicle starts closing in
on the vehicle ahead.
y You are driving at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
y Directly after the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has been set.
y When the accelerator pedal is depressed or directly after the accelerator pedal is
released.
y Another vehicle cuts into the driving lane.
y The following are not detected as physical objects.
y Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction
y Pedestrians
y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
y If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
y During headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles and bicycles.
y Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system under conditions in which
the close proximity warnings are frequently activated.
y During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
y While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is in use, it does not cancel
even if the selector lever is operated and any intended engine braking will not occur. If
deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.
y The brake lights are illuminated while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
automatic braking is operating.

indication is displayed in the active
driving display.
WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control
function when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control function
turned on when it is not in use
is dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
How to set the speed
Adjust the system to the desired vehicle
speed using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control function begins when the
SET
or SET switch is pressed.
NOTE
y The system may not be able to maintain
the set speed constantly depending on
driving conditions such as steep up or
down slopes.
y The speed will continue increasing
while the SET
switch is pressed and
held. The speed will continue
decreasing while the SET
switch is
pressed and held.
How to increase the set speed
The set speed can be increased using the
following operations:
To increase speed using the SET
switch
Press and hold the SET
switch and
release the switch at the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph)
increments) by pressing the switch and
releasing it immediately. For example, if
the switch is pressed 4 times, the set speed
increases by about 4 km/h (4 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the
SET
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.
How to Decrease the Set Speed

CAUTION
¾ When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .
¾ Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
¾ The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.

y The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
y The DSC is not malfunctioning.
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared
laser beam and receiving the beam refl ected off the refl ector of the vehicle ahead, and
then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
may not operate under the following conditions:
y Refl ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
y The vehicle ahead is signifi cantly dirty.
y Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
y The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
y The windshield is dirty.
y The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
