y The distance between vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the slower the
vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
 


y When the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF and then the engine is started again, the
system automatically sets the distance between vehicles to the previous setting.

Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the
SET switch
Press the SET
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)

N O T E
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 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.
CAUTION
The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
N O T E 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
speed. Check the set vehicle speed by
viewing the set vehicle speed display in
the multi-information display and the
active driving display.
 


y When depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance display in the
multi-information 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.

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

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.

y When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the Lane-keep Assist System
(LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) is automatically disabled. The
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) becomes
operational again when the turn signal lever is returned and the system detects white
(yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
 


y If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning
System (LDWS) operation is temporarily canceled. The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
& Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) becomes operational again when the system
detects white (yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven normally within its
vehicle lane.

*Some models.
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 a vehicle ahead is
unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation
range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph), the brakes are applied ¿ rmly and quickly to
assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))


Laser sensor (front)

WARNING
Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System (SCBS) as a substitute for safer
driving:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless
driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and driving on
slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tire friction and road contact
because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
