NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
▼To Set Speed
1.
(With Adjustable Speed Limiter
(ASL))
Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the MODE switch. The cruise
main indication (wh ite) is displayed.
(Without Adjustabl e Speed Limiter
(ASL))
Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the ON switch. The cruise
main indication (wh ite) is displayed.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET
switch at the desired speed. The
cruise control is set at the moment the
SET
switch is pressed. Release the
accelerator pedal simultaneously. The
cruise set indication (green) is
displayed.
NOTE
•The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
•(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
•(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
•The parking brake is applied.
•(Vehicles with Adjustable Speed
Limiter (ASL))
The MODE switch for the Adjustable
Speed Limiter (ASL) is pressed.
•Release the SET or RES/ switch at
the desired speed, otherwise the speed
will continue increasing while the RES/
switch is pressed and held, and
continue decreasing while the SET
switch is pressed and held (except when
the accelerator pedal is depressed).
•On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while
ascending, or speed up while
descending.
•The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when climbing a steep grade.
•The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.

▼To Resume Cruising Speed at More
Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If the cruise control system temporarily
cancelled (such as applying the brake
pedal) and the system is still activated, the
most recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RES/
switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the veh icle speed up to 25
km/h (16 mph) or more and press the RES/
switch.
▼ To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
•Slightly depress
the brake pedal.
•(Manual transaxle)
Depress the clutch pedal.
•Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the RES/
switch is pressed when the
vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
NOTE
•If any of the follow ing conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
cancelled.
•The parking brake is applied.
•(Vehicles with Adjustable Speed
Limiter (ASL))
The MODE switch for the Adjustable
Speed Limiter (ASL) is pressed.
•(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
•(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
•When the cruise control system is
temporarily cancelled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
•(Automatic transaxle)
The cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted
down to a lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set speed or depress
the brake pedal.
▼ To Deactivate
When a cruising speed has been set
(cruise set indication (green) turns on)
Long-press the OFF/CA
N switch or press
the OFF/CAN switch 2 times.
When a cruising speed has not been set
(cruise main indica tion (white) turns
on)
Press the OFF/CAN switch.

•The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.
•Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as another vehicle's
horn, the engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or
another vehicle's sensors.
•The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.
•A commercially-available wing pole or an aerial for a radio transmitter is installed to
the vehicle.
•The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.
•An obstruction is too close to the sensor.
•Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than the
bumper or thin which may have been initially detected but are no longer detected as the
vehicle approaches more closely.
•The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
•Thin objects such as wire or rope
•Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
•Angular shaped objects
•Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
•Small, short objects
•Always have the system inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer if any shock is applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the
sensors are deviated, they cannot detect obstructions.
•The system may have a malfunction if the b eep does not operate or the indicator light
does not illuminate when the park assist sensors switch is turned on. Consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
•The system may have a malfunction if the beep sound which indicates a system
malfunction is heard and the indicator light flashes. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
•The beeper which indicates a system malfunction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove
any foreign material from the sensor area.
•When installing a trailer hitch, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.

▼Obstruction Detection Indication
The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is i
ndicated. The gauge
illuminates in different areas d epending on the distance to an obstruction detected by the
sensor.
As the vehicle approaches closer to an obstruction, the zone in the gauge closer to the
vehicle illuminates.
