i-stop OFF Switch
By pressing the switch until a beep sounds,
the i-stop function is turned off and the i-stop
warning light (amber) in the instrument
cluster turns on. By pressing the switch again
until the beep sounds, the i-stop function
becomes operational and the i-stop warning
light (amber) turns off.

2. The engine restarts automatically when the brake pedal is released with the
selector lever in the D or M position (not in second gear fixed mode).
3. If the selector lever is in the N or P position, the engine does not restart when
the brake pedal is released. The engine restarts when the brake pedal is
depressed again or the selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear
fixed mode) or the R position. (For the purposes of safety, always keep the
brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever while engine idling is
stopped.) 1. Engine idling stops when the brake pedal is depressed while the vehicle is
driven (except for driving in the R or M position second gear fixed mode) and
the vehicle is stopped.

Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous
as doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an
accident.

i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar
sensors.
These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
Driver awareness support systems
• Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
• High-Beam Control system (HBC)
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing 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 the systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognise
potential hazards and avert accidents.

For details, refer to Section 4, “Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)”.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain
headway control according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor to detect the
distance to a vehicle ahead, which frees the driver from having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
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
sufficient 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. The possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has limitations in its ability to
detect vehicles ahead depending on the weather and road conditions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently 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.
Check the safety of the surroundings and pay sufficient attention to the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicles travelling in front and behind.
WARNING
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations. Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
• Roads with sharp curves, heavy traffic, or roads requiring repeated and
frequent acceleration.
• When entering expressway interchanges and service areas.
• Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
• Long descending slopes.
• (European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
• (Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) Display IndicationSetting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system may be cancelled during rain,
fog, snow or other inclement weather conditions, or when the front surface of the
radiator grille is dirty.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, operation of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system is temporarily cancelled. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) indicator light (green) turns off simultaneously.
• The CANCEL switch is pressed or the brake pedal is depressed.
The setting status of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is indicated
in the display in the active driving display.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
• The parking brake is applied.
• The shift lever is in the P, N, or R position (for manual transaxle vehicles,
R position only).
• The vehicle speed decreases to less than 25 km (16mph).
• The DSC, Smart Brake Support (SBS) system, or the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system is operating.
• A system malfunction is detected.

Setting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
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.

Change the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the SET + / SET - switch
Press and hold the SET + or SET - switch to adjust the set vehicle speed in 10 km/h
(5 mph) increments.
The set vehicle speed can also be adjusted in 1 km/h (1 mph) (European models)
or 5 km/h (5 mph) (Except European models) increments by pressing and
releasing the SET + or SET - switch immediately.
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.
Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead
because the vehicle applies the brakes suddenly while you
are travelling 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.

The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector of the
vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart
City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
• Trucks with low loading platforms, vehicles travelling at extremely low
speeds, and vehicles with a high profile. Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. It does not apply to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able
to correctly detect vehicles or obstructions ahead resulting in the Smart
City Brake Support (SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly
operating, which could cause a serious accident.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
NOTE
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the
system's laser sensor (front) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision
with the vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)”.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used
when its raining.
• The windscreen is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.Other details are
described in the related text.
