Parking Brake
CAUTION
Driving with the parking brake on
will cause excessive wear of the brake
parts.
NOTE
For parking in snow, refer to Winter
Driving (page 3-41 ) regarding parking
brake use.
Setting the parking brake
Depress the brake pedal and then fi rmly
pull the parking brake lever fully upwards
with suffi cient force to hold the vehicle in
a stationary position.
Releasing the parking brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull the
parking brake lever upwards, then press
the release button. While holding the
button, lower the parking brake lever all
the way down to the released position.
Warning Light
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-25 .
Brake Pad Wear Indicator
When the disc brake pads become worn,
the built-in wear indicators contact the

operate on a gentle slope. In addition,
the gradient of the slope on which the
system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle's load.
 


y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate if the parking brake is applied,
or if the vehicle has not stopped
completely.
 


y While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is
operating, the brake pedal may feel
stiff and vibrate, however, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
 


y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate while the TCS/DSC indicator
light is illuminated.

i-ACTIVSENSE *
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety a\
nd driver support
systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sen\
sors. These
systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by redu\
cing the load on the
driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each system
has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely solely on th\
e systems.

Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognize potential
hazards and avert accidents.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
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.

Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system 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. Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system is not possible).
 


¾ When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways
(If you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer
be tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).
 


¾ Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control).
 


¾ Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of
brake power).

For the purposes of safety, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system off
when it is not being used.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system off to prevent an incorrect operation.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
 


y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system operates when all of the following
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.

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

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.
