Stop & Go function)
The MRCC with St
op & Go function
system is designed to maintain headway
control
*1 with a vehicle ahead according
to your vehicle's speed using a front radar
sensor 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 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 sufficient distance
between the vehicles.
If the vehicle ahead stops while you are
following behind it, y our vehicle will stop
and be held stopped automatically (stop

resume when you resume driving the
vehicle such as by pressing the RES
