Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) operation
1. The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system operates when the selector lever is shifted
to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle, \
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights fl ashes and the warning beep is activated
simultaneously.
(With rear view monitor)
The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) warning indication in the rearview monitor also
synchronizes with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator li\
ght on the door
mirrors.


(With rear view monitor)

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse: The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when putting
the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not fl ash or it might be delayed
even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your responsibility as a
driver to check the rear.

NOTE
  In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator \
light turns on and
operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)\
OFF indicator
light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.
  Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warnin\
g
indicator lights has occurred.
  A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
  There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear).
  Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.  The temperature near the radar sensors becomes extremely hot due to driving for long
periods on slopes during the summer.
  The battery voltage has decreased.

  Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be dif fi cult to detect them.
   The vehicle speed when reversing is about 15 km/h (9 mph) or faster.  The radar sensor (rear) detection area is obstructed by a nearby wall or parked
vehicle. (Reverse the vehicle to a position where the radar sensor detection area is no
longer obstructed.)

Your vehicle
  A vehicle is approaching directly from the rear of your vehicle.

Your vehicle
  The vehicle is parked on a slant.

Your vehicle
  Directly after the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system becomes operable.  Radio wave interference from a radar sensor equipped on a nearby parked vehicle.   In the following cases, it may be dif fi cult to view the illumination/ fl ashing of the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mi\
rrors.
   Snow or ice adheres to the door mirrors.  The front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.   Turn off the Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system while pulling a trailer or while an
accessory such as a bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise,
the radio waves emitted by the radar will be blocked causing the system \
to not operate
normally.

NOTE
  The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system does not detect the following as physical objects.
  Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction  Pedestrians  Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)  If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
  During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
  Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop
& Go function) system under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently
activated.
  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.
  While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lev\
er is operated and any
intended engine braking does not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or
depress the brake pedal.
  The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
  The brake lights turn on while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) automatic braking is operating, however\

Stop Hold Control
While in headway control using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop \
& Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) system, your vehicle will stop when a v\
ehicle ahead
stops. When the vehicle is stopped and the stop hold control operates, the Mazd\
a Radar
Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) \
indicator light
turns on.


NOTE
  If the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is canceled during stop hold control, the vehicle is held in its stopped
position. The stop hold control can be canceled by performing one the following actions.
  Press the accelerator pedal and resume driving the vehicle.  While forcefully depressing the brake, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system off.
  The electric parking brake (EPB) is automatically applied and the vehi\
cle is held in its
stopped position when 10 minutes have elapsed since the stop hold control operated. At
this time, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop &
Go function) system is canceled.
  The brake lights turn on during stop hold control.
To resume driving
After the vehicle ahead starts moving while your vehicle is stopped unde\
r stop hold control,
press the RES switch or depress the accelerator pedal to cancel the stop hold control\
and
resume driving.
NOTE
  When you resume driving by pressing the RES switch, your vehicle does not start moving
until the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead lengthens \
to the speci fi ed
distance or farther.
   If the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) is temporarily canceled during stop hold control, you cannot resume driving by
pressing the RES switch when there are no vehicles in front of your vehicle. Depress the
accelerator pedal and resume driving the vehicle.

n, fog, or snow).  The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane \
resulting
from construction where there may be multiple white (yellow) lane lines or they are
interrupted.
  A misleading line is picked up on the road such as a temporary line for construction,
or because of shade, lingering snow, or grooves fi lled with water.
