with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system at the following
locations may result in an unexpected accident:

(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, 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.
