NOTE
  The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system does not detect the following as physical objects.
  Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction  Pedestrians  Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)  If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
  During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
  Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop
& Go function) system under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently
activated.
  During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to\
close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
  While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lev\
er is operated and any
intended engine braking does not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or
depress the brake pedal.
  The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
