2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 manual transmission

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.

▼Setting the System
The 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 (125 mph)
x(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
xThe MRCC is turned on.xThe brake pedal is not depressed.xThe parking brake is released (Electric Parking Brake (EPB) indicator light is turned
off).
xThere is no problem with the DSC.xAll the doors are closed.xThe driver's seat belt is fastened.x(Manual transmission)
xThe shift lever is in a position other than reverse (R) or neutral (N).xThe clutch pedal is not depressed.

NOTE
xThe distance-between-vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the
slower the vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
xWhen the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF and then the engine is started again,
the system automatically sets the distance-between-vehicles to the previous
setting.
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 system is
cancelled, and the MRCC set
indication (green) switches to the
MRCC standby indication (white) at
the same time.
xThe CANCEL switch is pressed.xThe brake pedal is depressed.x(Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position.
x(Automatic transmission)

The selector lever is in the P (Park), N
(Neutral), or R (Reverse) position.

Under the following conditions, the
MRCC cancel indication is displayed in
the multi-information display and a
single beep sound is heard.
xThe DSC has operated.xThe Smart Brake Support (SBS) has
operated.
xWhen travelling on a downslope for
a long period of time.
xThere is a problem with the system.xThe vehicle speed decreases to less
than 25 km (16 mph).
x(Manual transmission)
xThe shift lever is shifted to neutral
(N) for a certain period of time.
xThe clutch is depressed for a
certain period of time.
xThe engine stalls.xThe front radar sensor cannot detect
target objects (during rain, fog, snow
or other inclement weather
conditions, or when the radiator
grille is dirty).
xThe parking brake is applied.xAny of the doors is opened.xThe driver's seat belt is unfastened.xThe operation frequency of the
braking by the MRCC control is high.
Resuming control
If the MRCC system is cancelled, you
can resume control at the previously
set speed by pressing the RES switch
and after all of the operation
conditions have been met.
NOTE
If the set speed is not indicated in the
display, the control does not resume
even if the RES switch is pressed.
Turning off the system
When the MRCC switch is pressed
while the MRCC is operating, the
MRCC turns off.
▼Shift-up/Shift-down Request
Display (Manual Transmission)
The shift-up or shift-down request
display might be displayed while the
MRCC is operating. When this occurs,
shift gears because the gear position is
not appropriate.
Request Indication on display
Shift up Shift Up to a Higher Gear
Shift down Shift Down to a Lower Gear
NOTE
xIf the gears are not shifted up even
though the shift-up request
indication is displayed, load will be
applied to the engine and the MRCC
might be automatically cancelled or
engine damage could occur.
xIf the gears are not shifted down
even though the shift-down request
indication is displayed, the MRCC
might be automatically cancelled or
engine stalling could occur.

¾The vehicle is driven on roads with
lane lines other than white (yellow)
lines, such as an expressway.

Do not get out of the vehicle while
the stop hold control is operating.
(Automatic transmission vehicle)
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 CTS off, apply the parking
brake, and then shift the selector lever
to the P position.

CAUTION
Turn the system off when the vehicle is
running on a chassis roller.
Heed the following cautions so that
the CTS can operate normally.
¾Turn the system off when the vehicle
is running on a chassis roller.
¾Do not modify the vehicle's
suspensions.
¾Always use wheels of the specified
size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) for tyre replacement.

are frequently activated.
xIf it is necessary to accelerate for a
lane change or 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 CTS is in use, any intended
engine braking does not occur even
if you shift the shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission). If
deceleration is required, lower the
vehicle speed setting or depress the
brake pedal.
xWhile braking by the CTS 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 CTS 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.
xUnder the following conditions, the
CTS may not be able to detect white
(yellow) lines or vehicles ahead
correctly and the CTS may not
operate normally.
xThe forward sensing camera (FSC)
cannot recognise the area in front
of the vehicle due to soiling or fog.
