Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) *
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control *1
according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to a vehicle
ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h (19 mph) and 145 km/h (90
mph), the driver is freed from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for example, the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are
activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a suf ¿ cient distance between the vehicles.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other highways
which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system and always
drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load on the
driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or specifi cally, it maintains
a constant distance between your vehicle and the detected vehicle ahead according to
the vehicle speed, the 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 suffi ciently 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 verify the safety of the surrounding area
and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead because the vehicle applies the brakes
suddenly while you are traveling in headway control, the warning sound activates and
the brake warning is indicated in the display. Always verify the safety of the surrounding
area and depress the brake pedal while keeping a safer distance from the vehicle ahead.
Additionally, always keep a safer distance from the vehicles behind you.

setting using the accelerator pedal.
2. Headway control begins when the
SET
or SET switch is pressed. The
set speed and the inter-vehicle distance
display ¿ lled with white lines are

N O T E
y If 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.
y Headway control is not possible if
the vehicle ahead is driving faster
than the set speed. 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.

N O T E
y The distance between vehicles differs
depending on the vehicle speed, and the
slower the vehicle speed, the shorter the
distance.
y When the ignition is switched to ACC
or OFF and then the engine is started
again, the system automatically sets
the distance between vehicles to the
previous setting.
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed

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)
N O T E
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 SET switch 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

operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
N O T E
y 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. Check the set vehicle speed by
viewing the set vehicle speed display in
the active driving display.
y When depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance display in the
active driving display changes to the
white-line display.
y The 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.
