xThe temperature near the radar sensors becomes extremely hot due to driving for long
periods on slopes during the summer.
xThe battery voltage has decreased.
xUnder the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.
xThe vehicle speed when reversing is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or faster.
xThe radar sensor (rear) detection area is obstructed by a nearby wall or parked vehicle.
(Reverse the vehicle to a position where the radar sensor detection area is no longer
obstructed.)
Your vehicle
xA vehicle is approaching directly from the rear of your vehicle.
Your vehicle
xThe vehicle is parked on a slant.
Your vehicle
x(With Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch)
Directly after pressing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch and the system
becomes operable.
x(Without Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch)
Directly after the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system becomes operable using the
personalisation feature.
xRadio wave interference from a radar sensor equipped on a nearby parked vehicle.
xIn the following cases, it may be difficult to view the illumination/flashing of the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.

xSnow or ice adheres to the door mirrors.
xThe front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.
xTurn off the RCTA system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle
carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the
radar will be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.

Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always drive carefully:
The MRCC system is designed to reduce load on the driver, and although it maintains a
constant vehicle speed, or specifically, it maintains a constant distance between your vehicle
and the detected vehicle ahead according to the 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
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 verify
the safety of the surrounding area 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. Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident:
¾Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is insufficient space
between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and deceleration occur
(Driving under these conditions using the MRCC system is not possible).
¾When 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).
:KHQ'ULYLQJ
L$&7,96(16(

¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tyres could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control).
¾Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power).
For the purposes of safety, switch the MRCC system off when it is not being used.
&$87,21
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC system off to prevent an
incorrect operation.
NOTE
xThe MRCC system operates when all of the following conditions are met.
xThe vehicle speed is as follows:
x(European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
x(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
xThe MRCC system is turned on.
xThe parking brake is not applied.
xThe Smart Brake Support (SBS) is not malfunctioning.
xThe Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating normally.
xAll doors are closed.
xThe driver's seat belt is fastened.
(Manual transaxle)
xThe shift lever is in a position other than reverse (R) or neutral (N).
xThe clutch pedal is not depressed.
(Automatic transaxle)
xThe selector lever is in the drive (D) position or manual (M) position (manual mode).
xIn the following cases, the warnings may not activate even if your vehicle starts closing in
on the vehicle ahead.
xYou are driving at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
xDirectly after the MRCC system has been set.
xWhen the accelerator pedal is depressed or directly after the accelerator pedal is
released.
xAnother vehicle cuts into the driving lane.
xThe following are not detected as physical objects.
:KHQ'ULYLQJ
L$&7,96(16(


xVehicles approaching in the opposite direction
xPedestrians
xStationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
xIf a vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
xDuring headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles and bicycles.
xDo not use the MRCC system under conditions in which the close proximity warnings are
frequently activated.
xDuring 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.
xWhile the MRCC system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lever (automatic
transaxle)/shift lever (manual transaxle) is operated and any intended engine braking will
not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake
pedal.
xThe brake lights are illuminated while the MRCC automatic braking is operating,
however, they may not be illuminated while the vehicle is on a down slope at the set
vehicle speed or travelling at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.
xThe MRCC warning light (amber) illuminates when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Mazda Repairer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-49.
x(With Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL).
Refer to Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL) on page 4-212.
x(With Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
Refer to Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) on page 4-221.
x(Except Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL)/Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
cruise control.
Refer to Cruise Control Function on page 4-183.
