switch to accelerate.
Press the SET
switch to decelerate.
The set vehicle speed changes as follows
each time the SET switch is pressed.
Short press 1 km/h (1 mph)
Long press 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
For example, the set vehicle speed is changed
by pressing the SET switch four times as
follows:
The vehicle speed accelerates or decelerates
by 4 km/h (4 mph).
To accelerate using the accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press
and release the SET
or SETswitch 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.
CAUTION
The warnings and brake control do
not operate while the accelerator
pedal is depressed.NOTE
lWhen accelerating using the SETswitch
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 speed. Check the
set vehicle speed by viewing the set vehicle
speed display in the display in the
instrument cluster.
lWhen depressing the accelerator pedal, the
inter-vehicle distance display in the display
in the instrument cluster changes to the
white-line display.
lThe 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.

qCruise 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.
ØRoads with sharp curves and
where vehicle traffic is heavy and
there is insufficient space between
vehicles. (Driving under these
conditions using the cruise control
function is not possible)
ØSteep down slopes (Set speed may
be exceeded because sufficient
engine braking cannot be applied)
ØSlippery 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

must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).3. Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET
or SET - switch at the desired
speed. The cruise control is set at the
moment the SET
or SET - switch is
pressed. Release the accelerator pedal
simultaneously. The cruise set indicator
light (Green) illuminates.
NOTE
lThe cruise control speed setting cannot be
performed under the following conditions:
l(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
l(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral position.
lThe parking brake is applied.lRelease the SETor SET - switch at the
desired speed, otherwise the speed will
continue increasing while the SET
switch is pressed and held, and continue
decreasing while the SET - switch is pressed
and held (except when the accelerator
pedal is depressed).
lOn a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending,
or speed up while descending.
lCruise control will cancel if the vehicle
speed decreases below 21 km/h (13 mph)
when cruise is activated, such as when
climbing a steep grade.
lCruise control may cancel at about 15 km/h
(9 mph) below the preset speed (such as
may happen when climbing a long, steep
grade).
