*Some models.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function)
*
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is designed to maintain headway control *1 with a vehicle ahead according
to your vehicle's speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the dis\
tance 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 ve\
hicle ahead detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.

Additionally, if your vehicle starts 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 suf fi cient distance between the vehicles.
If the vehicle ahead stops while you are following behind it, your vehic\
le will stop and be
held stopped automatically (stop hold control), and headway control wi\
ll resume when you
resume driving the vehicle such as by pressing the RES switch.
Also refer to the following before using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control \
with Stop & Go
function (MRCC with Stop & Go function).
   AUTOHOLD (page 4-75 )  Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (page 4-156 )  Radar sensor (front) (page 4-162 )
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function):
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
system is designed to reduce load on the driver, and although it maintains a constant
vehicle speed, or specifi cally, it maintains a constant distance between your vehicle and
the detected vehicle ahead according to your vehicle speed, the system has detection
limitations depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather
conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate
suffi ciently to avoid hitting 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 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.

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.
  The brake lights turn on while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) automatic braking is operating, however\
