NOTElThe Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system operates when all of the following conditions
are met.
lThe vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph).lThe Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on.lThe parking brake is not applied.lThe Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating normally.
(Manual transaxle)
lThe shift lever is in a position other than reverse (R) or neutral (N).lThe clutch pedal is not depressed.
(Automatic transaxle)
lThe selector lever is in the drive (D) position or manual (M) position (manual mode).lIn the following cases, the warnings may not activate even if your vehicle starts closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
lYou are driving at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.lDirectly after the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has been set.lWhen the accelerator pedal is depressed or directly after the accelerator pedal is released.lAnother vehicle cuts into the driving lane.lThe following are not detected as physical objects.lVehicles approaching in the opposite directionlPedestrianslStationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)lIf a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it correctly.lDuring headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles
and bicycles.
lDo not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system under conditions in which the close
proximity warnings are frequently activated.
lDuring 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.
lWhile the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is in use, it does not cancel even if the
selector lever (automatic transaxle)/shift lever (manual transaxle) is operated and any intended
engine braking will not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or
depress the brake pedal.
