Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)*
The MRCC 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 distance 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 vehicle ahead
detected by the 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 sufficient distance between the vehicles.
Also refer to the following before using the MRCC.
Radar sensor (front) (page 4-136)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
The MRCC 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 sufficiently 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 MRCC system in the following locations, using the MRCC system at the
following locations may result in an unexpected accident:
 General roads other than highways (Driving under these conditions using the MRCC system
is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle tr affic is heavy and there is insufficient space
between vehicles.
 Roads where frequent and repeti tive acceleration and deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e 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 sp in causing you to lose vehicle
control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain distan ce between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power.)

Cancelling the function
When the cruise control function is
canceled and the RES switch is pressed
while the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16
mph) or faster, the speed returns to the
original set speed.
Cancelling using OFF/CAN switch
When the OFF/CAN switch is pressed
once, the cruise control function is
cancelled.
Automatically cancel
The cruise control fu nction is canceled
automatically in the following cases.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The parking brake is applied.
(Manual transaxle)
The clutch pedal is depressed.
The shift lever is shifted to neutral
position.
(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is shifted to P or N
position.
NOTE
If the vehicle speed decreases by about
15 km/h (9.4 mph) or more than the set
speed, the cruise control function may
be canceled.
When the vehicle speed is less than 21
km/h (13 mph), the cruise control
function is canceled. In this case, the
vehicle speed will not return to the
original set speed even if the vehicle is
accelerated to 25 km/h (16 mph) or
faster and the RES switch is pressed.
Reset the cruise control function.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
▼To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the ON switch. The cruise
main indication (wh ite) is displayed.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Set the cruise control by pressing the SET
switch at the desired speed. The
cruise control is set at the moment the
SET
switch is pressed. Release the
accelerator pedal simultaneously. The
cruise set indication (white) is
displayed and the cruise set indicator
light (green) turns on.
NOTE
The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
The parking brake is applied.
Release the SET or RES/ switch at
the desired speed, otherwise the speed
will continue increasing while the RES/
switch is pressed and held, and
continue decreasing while the SET
switch is pressed and held (except when
the accelerator pedal is depressed).
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while
ascending, or speed up while
descending.
The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when climbing a steep grade.
The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.
▼ To Increase Cruising Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase speed using cruise control
switch
Press the RES/ switch and hold it. Your
vehicle will accelerate. Release the switch
at the desired speed.

Press the RES/
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will increase the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.

canceled (such as applying the brake
pedal) and the system is still activated, the
most recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RES/
switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25
