Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) (Manual Transaxleand Taiwan)
*
The MRCC system is designed to maintain headway control*1 with a vehicle ahead
according to your vehic le's speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to the
vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle speed without you having to use the accelerator or brake
pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the MRCC system.
Additionally, if your vehicle s tarts closing in on the vehicle ahead such as if 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.
Also refer to the following before using the MRCC.
•Radar sensor (front) (page 4-201)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
The MRCC system has detection limitations depe nding on the type of vehicle ahead and its
conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system may be
unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid hittin g 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 drive carefully and verify the surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC system in the following locations, using the MRCC system at the
following locations may result in an unexpected accident:
General roads other than highways (Driving under these conditions using the MRCC system
is not possible.)
Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle tr affic is heavy and there is insufficient space
between vehicles.
Roads where frequent and repetitive accelerati on and deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC system is not possible).
When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e 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 a ccelerate to the set speed).
Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (Tyres could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)

If there is a problem with the MRCC system, a message is displayed on the
multi-information disp lay. Check the centre display to verify the problem and then have
your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an A uthorised Mazda Repairer.
Refer to Message Indicated on Display on page 7-61.
▼ Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in
on the vehicle ahead because the vehicle ahead applies the
brakes suddenly while you are travelling in headway control, th e warning sound activates
and the brake warning is indicated in the display. Always verif y the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the brake pedal while keeping a sa fer distance from the
vehicle ahead. Additionally, keep a safer distance from the veh icles behind you.

NOTE
In the following cases, the warnings and brakes may not operate even if your vehicle starts
closing in on the vehicle ahead.
•You are driving your vehicle at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
•Directly after the MRCC system has been set.
•Directly after the accelerator pedal is released.
•Another vehicle cuts into the driving lane.
▼Setting the System
The MRCC system operates when all of the following conditions a
re met.
•The vehicle speed is as follows:
•(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)
•The MRCC is turned on.

How to change the set vehicle speed
To accelerate/decelerate using the SET
switch
When you press the SET
switch, the
vehicle accelerates and when you press the
SET
switch, it decelerates.
European
models Except Euro-
pean models
Short press 1 km/h (1 mph) 5 km/h (5 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:
(European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
(Except European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 20 km/h (20 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press
and release the SET
switch or SET
switch at the desired speed. If the switch is
not operated, the system returns to the set
speed after you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
NOTE
•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. For the set vehicle speed, check
the set vehicle speed indication in the
display.
•When depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance indication in
the display changes to the white-line
indication.
•(European models)
When switching to a passing lane and
operating the direction indicator, the
system provides more acceleration
automatically if it determines that more
acceleration is required. Drive while
being careful of the road ahead because
you could approach the vehicle ahead
too closely.
Cancelling the system
When the following operations are
performed, the MRCC system is
cancelled, and the MRCC set indication
(green) switches to the MRCC main
indication (white) at the same time.
•The OFF/CAN switch is pressed.
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The electric parkin g brake (EPB) is
applied.
•(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever i s in the P (Park), N
(Neutral), or R (R everse) position.
•(Manual transaxle)

position.
•Any of the doors is opened.
