2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 lights

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before actually putting the
vehicle in reverse:
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.
Rear view monitor (vehicles with
Rear view monitor)
The RCTA warning indication in the
rearview monitor also synchronizes
with the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indicator light on
the door mirrors.
360°view monitor (vehicles with
360°view monitor)
The RCTA warning indication in the
360°view monitor also
synchronizes with the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator light on the door mirrors.
Function for cancelling illumination
dimmer
If the BSM warning indicator lights turn
on when the position lights are turned
on, the brightness of the BSM warning
indicator lights is dimmed.
If the BSM warning indicator lights are
difficult to see due to glare from
surrounding brightness when travelling
on snow-covered roads or under foggy
conditions, press the dimmer
cancellation button to cancel the
dimmer and increase the brightness of
BSM warning indicator lights when
they turn on.
Refer to Instrument Panel Illumination
on page 4-27.

parked vehicle, guardrail, or wall is
directly next to your vehicle.
xA vehicle approaching from the
rear left and right side of your
vehicle slows down.
xA vehicle approaching from the

xA vehicle overtakes your vehicle
while it is stopped.
xYour vehicle is in an area where
strong radio waves or electrical
noise may occur such as near a
television tower or power plant.

including the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights has occurred.
xA large deviation in the installation
position of a rear side radar sensor
on the vehicle has occurred.
xThere is a large accumulation of
snow or ice on the rear bumper
near a rear side radar sensor.
xDriving on snow-covered roads for
long periods.
xThe temperature near the radar
sensors becomes extremely hot
due to driving for long periods on
slopes during the summer.
xThe battery voltage has decreased.xUnder the following conditions, the
rear side radar sensor cannot detect
approaching vehicles or it might be
difficult to detect them, and the
system may not operate normally.
xThe vehicle speed when reversing
is about 15 km/h (9 mph) or
faster.
xThe rear side radar sensor
detection area is obstructed by a
nearby wall or parked vehicle.

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.

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

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
