*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).

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.
