Cruise 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.
¾ Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffi c is heavy and there is
insuffi cient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions
using the cruise control function is
not possible)
¾ Steep down slopes (Set speed may
be exceeded because suffi cient
engine braking cannot be applied)
¾ Slippery 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 ahead
and always driving carefully.
Switching to cruise control function
When the MODE switch is pressed while
the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
system is turned on, the system switches to
the cruise control function.
When the system switches to the cruise
control function, the indicator and multi-
information display notify the driver as
follows:
y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) set indication (green) or the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
main indication (white) is turned off,
and the cruise main indication (white) is
turned on.
y A message is displayed in the multi-
information 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.
When the SET
or SET switch is
pressed, the cruise set indication (green) is
turned on and headway control begins.
N O T E
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.
