For safety purposes, switch the MRCC
system off when it is not being used.
Leaving the MRCC system turned on
when it is not in use is dangerous as it
could operate unexpectedly, resulting
in an accident.
CAUTION
¾Turn the system off when the vehicle
is running on a chassis roller.
¾If your vehicle is towed or you are
towing something , switch the MRCC
system off to prevent an unexpected
operation.
NOTE
xThe MRCC 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.
xDo not use the MRCC system under
conditions in which 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 transmission)/shift
lever (manual transmission) is
operated and any intended engine
braking will not occur. If deceleration
is required, lower the vehicle speed
setting or depress the brake pedal.
xWhile braking by the MRCC 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 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.

¾The CTS may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions,
the weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
sufficiently if a vehicle ahead applies
the brakes suddenly, another vehicle
cuts into the driving lane, or the
difference in vehicle speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
larger, which could result in an
accident. Check the surrounding
conditions and always drive carefully
while keeping a safe distance from
vehicles ahead and on-coming
vehicles.

For the purposes of safety, switch the
CTS off when it is not being used.
Leaving the CTS turned on when it is
not in use is dangerous as it could
operate unexpectedly, resulting in an
accident.

Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the warning indications
in the display and a warning sound if
the front radar sensor and Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that
there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle ahead, pedestrian, or a
bicycle. Furthermore, if a collision is
unavoidable, the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision. In addition,
when the driver depresses the brake
pedal, the brakes are applied firmly
and quickly to assist.
(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
When the SBS determines that the
driver is not paying attention to the
road using the driver monitoring
camera and it determines that there is
the possibility of a collision with an
obstruction, the SBS activates the
collision warning earlier than normal.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The ability to detect obstructions is
limited depending on the obstructions,
weather conditions, or
traffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system
off to prevent an unexpected
operation.
¾The vehicle is being towed or when
towing another vehicle.
¾The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
¾When driving on rough roads such as
in areas of dense grass or off-road.
See the next page on how to turn
off
the system.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-177.
