The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at the rear
when putting the vehicle in reverse.
Due to certain limitations with the
operation of this system, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator
lights may not
flash or it might be
delayed even though a vehicle is
behind your vehicle. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.
RCTA operation
1. The RCTA system operates when
the shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission) is shifted
to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility of a
collision with an approaching
vehicle, the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indicator lights
flashes and the warning beep is
activated simultaneously.

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.

Do not use the CTS under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
¾General roads other than
expressways or highways (Driving
under these conditions using the CTS
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 CTS is not
possible).¾When entering and exiting
interchanges, service areas, and
parking areas of expressways (If you
exit an expressway 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 icy or
snow-covered 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.)
¾Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
¾(Automatic transmission vehicle)
Slopes with a steep gradient (The
vehicle ahead may not be detected
correctly, your vehicle may slip while
stopped by the stop hold control, or
it may accelerate suddenly after it
starts moving.)
¾Driving under bad weather
conditions (rain, fog , and snow).
¾The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy or snow -covered
roads and unpaved roads (Tyres
could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control, or the stop hold
control may not operate.)
¾Tyres of a different specified size are
used, such as a temporary spare tyre.
¾Tyres with insufficient tread are used.
¾The tyre pressures are not adjusted to
the
specified pressure.
¾The vehicle is being used to tow a
camper or boat trailer.
