Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop &
Go function) system in the following locations, using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system at the following
locations may result in an unexpected accident:
 General roads other than highways (Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system
is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffi c is heavy and there is insuffi cient
space between vehicles.
 Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, service 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 accelerate to the set speed).
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (Tires could spin causing you to lose vehicle control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of
brake power.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahead may not be detected correctly, your vehicle may slide while stopped by the stop hold control, and it may accelerate
suddenly after it starts moving.)

For safety purposes, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) system off when it is not being used.
Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating: Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating is dangerous as the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before getting out of the
vehicle, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop
& Go function) system off , shift the selector lever to the P position, and apply the electric
parking brake (EPB).

CAUTION
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system off to prevent a
miss-operation.

Resume driving information
If you do not resume driving within a few seconds after the vehicle ahea\
d starts moving,
the multi-information display vehicle-ahead indication fl ashes to urge the driver to resume
driving.
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.
 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)
 Steep down slopes (Set speed may be exceeded because suffi cient
engine braking cannot be applied)
 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 with Stop
& Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) 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:
  The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop
& Go function) set indication (green)
or the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
with Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function) main indication
(white) is turned off, and the cruise main
indication (white) is turned on.
   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.
