Control with Stop & Go
function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
*
▼Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
The 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 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, your vehicle will
stop and be held stopped
automatically (stop hold control), and
headway control will resume when you
resume driving the vehicle such as by
pressing the RES switch.
Also refer to the following before using
the MRCC with Stop & Go function.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC
with Stop & Go function:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function
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 in front of you, 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 safe distance from
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system in the following
locations. Using the MRCC with Stop
& Go function system at the following
locations may result in an unexpected
accident:
¾General roads other than highways
(Driving under these conditions
using the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system is not possible.)
¾Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy with
insufficient space between vehicles,
or roads where frequent and
repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC
with Stop & Go function is not
possible).
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.4-139

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).
¾Slippery roads such as ice or
snow-bound roads (Tyres could spin
causing you to lose vehicle control,
or the stop hold control may not
operate.)
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.)
¾Slopes 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.)
¾Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC
with Stop & Go function system off
when it is not being used.
Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system turned on when it is
not in use is dangerous as it could
operate unexpectedly, resulting in an
accident.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 may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Before getting out of the vehicle,
switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system off, shift the selector
lever to the P position, and apply the
parking brake.
CAUTION
¾If your vehicle is towed or you are
towing something, switch the MRCC
with Stop & Go function system off
to prevent an unexpected operation.
¾Turn the system off when the vehicle
is running on a chassis roller.
NOTE
xThe MRCC with Stop & Go function
system does not detect the following
as physical objects.
xVehicles approaching in the
opposite direction
xPedestriansxStationary objects (stopped
vehicles, obstructions)
xIf a vehicle ahead is travelling at an
extremely low speed, the system may
not detect it correctly.
xIf there is a structure on the road or
an object (such as a monorail) at a
low height off the ground in front of
the vehicle, the system may operate.
Therefore, do not use the MRCC
with Stop & Go function.
xDo not use the MRCC with Stop &
Go function system under conditions
in which close proximity warnings
are frequently activated.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE

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 with Stop & Go
function system is in use, it does not
cancel even if the selector lever is
operated and any intended engine
braking does not occur. If
deceleration is required, lower the
set speed or depress the brake
pedal.
xWhile braking by the MRCC with
Stop & Go function control is
operating , you might hear an
operation sound, however, this does
not indicate a problem.
xThe brake lights turn on while
braking by the MRCC with Stop &
Go function control is operating,
however, they may not turn on while
the vehicle is on a down slope at the
set vehicle speed or travelling at a
constant speed and following a
vehicle ahead.
xStop the headway control function to
switch the system to the cruise
control function.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

control, the warning sound activates
and the brake warning is indicated in
the display. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal while keeping a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Additionally, keep a safe distance from
the vehicles behind you.

NOTE
xIf a vehicle ahead is detected while travelling at a constant speed, the
vehicle-ahead indication is displayed and headway control is performed.
Additionally, when a vehicle ahead is no longer detected, the vehicle-ahead
indication turns off and the system switches back to travel at constant speed.
xThe lowest possible speed which can be set on the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system is 30 km/h (19 mph).
xHeadway control is not possible if the vehicle ahead is driving faster than your
vehicle's set speed. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the
accelerator pedal.
How to set the distance-between-vehicles during headway control
The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short, and
extremely short distance.
The distance-between-vehicles is set to a shorter distance by pressing the CANCEL
switch down. The distance-between-vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressing

Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
(To accelerate/decelerate using the
RES switch)
When the RES switch is pressed up
(SET+), the vehicle accelerates and
when the RES switch is pressed down
(SET-), it decelerates.
xPress and release immediately: 1
km/h (1 mph)
xPress and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
(To increase speed using accelerator
pedal)
Depress the accelerator pedal and
press the RES switch up (SET+) or
down (SET-) at the desired speed. If
the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you
release your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE
xThe warnings and brake control do
not operate while the accelerator
pedal is depressed.
x(European models)
When switching to a passing lane
and operating the direction
indicator, the system provides more
acceleration automatically if it
determines that more acceleration is
required. Drive while being careful of
the road ahead because you could
approach the vehicle ahead too
closely.
Cancelling the system
When the following operations are
performed, the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system is cancelled, and the
MRCC with Stop & Go function set
indication (green) switches to the
MRCC with Stop & Go function
standby indication (white) at the same
time.
xThe CANCEL switch is pressed.xThe brake pedal is depressed.
