Front Radar Sensor*
▼Front Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front radar
sensor.
The following systems also use the front
radar sensor.
Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Mazda Radar Cruise
Control with Stop
& Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function)
Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves reflected off a
vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent from
the radar sensor.
The front radar sensor is mounted behind
the front emblem.

If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed on
the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area around
the front radar sensor.

Cruise Set Indication (Green)
The indication turns on (green) when a
cruising speed has been set.
▼Activation/Deactivation
WA R N I N G
Always turn
off the cruise control system
when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as the
cruise control could unexpectedly activate
if the activation button is accidentally
pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control
and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
Activation
To activate the system, press the cruise
switch. The cruise standby indication
(white) turns on.
Deactivation
To deactivate the system, press the cruise
switch again.
The cruise standby indication (white) turns
off.
▼ To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the cruise switch. The cruise
standby indication (white) turns on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator
pedal. Press the RES switch up (SET+)
or down (SET-) to start cruise control.
The cruise control indication (green) in
the instrument cluster turns on at the
same time. Quickly release the switch
when the cruise control indication
(green) turns on.
NOTE
If the RES switch is operated up (SET+)
or down (SET-) while the vehicle speed
is between 25 km/h (16 mph) and 30
km/h (19 mph), the set speed is set to 30
km/h (19 mph).
The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
Any of the doors is opened.
The driver's seat belt is unfastened.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The parking brake is applied.
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending
or speed up while descending.

The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 20 km/h
(12 mph) when the cruise control is
activated, such as when climbing a steep
grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise
control is displayed in the instrument
cluster and the active driving display
(vehicles with activ e driving display).

▼ Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase/decrease speed using cruise
control switch
When the RES switch is pressed up (SET
+), the vehicle accelerates and when the
RES switch is pressed down (SET-), it
decelerates.
Press and release immediately: 1 km/h
(1 mph)
Press and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
Even after releasing the RES switch, the
cruise control accelerates/decelerates
continuously until the set speed displayed
in the instrument clus
ter and on the active
driving display is reached. If you want to
stop accelerating/decel erating, change the
set speed or cancel the system (such as by
depressing the brake pedal).
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
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is on.
Greater speed will not interfere with or
change the set speed. Take your foot off
the accelerator to retu rn to the set speed.

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and if it decreases below the
specified value, the system notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data sent
from the tire pressure s
ensors installed on
each wheel via radio signal is received by
the receiver unit in t he vehicle to monitor
the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensors

In addition, the current tire pressures can
be checked using the center display.
Refer to the Vehic le Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect Owner's
Manual.
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low,
the tire temperatures also decrease. If
the tire temperatures decrease, the air
pressure in the tires will also decrease
which could turn on the TPMS warning
light.
Before driving, visually inspect the tires
for abnormalities. Additionally, inspect
the tire pressures monthly. A digital type
air pressure gauge is recommended for
inspecting the tire pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your own
periodic inspection of the tires. Always
inspect the tires yourself periodically.
CAUTION
 Each tire, includ ing the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the
inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
