Do not rely completely on DAA and always
drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness and encourages
the driver to take a rest, however, it is not
designed to prevent the vehicle from
straying. If you rely too much on the DAA it
could lead to an accident. Drive carefully
and operate the steering wheel
appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be able to
detect driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness correctly depending on the
traffic and driving conditions. The driver
must take sufficient rest in order to drive
safely.
NOTE
The DAA operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The vehicle speed is about 65 to 140
km/h (41 to 86 mph).
The system detects white (yellow) lane
lines.
The system has completed learning of
the driver’s driving data after 60
minutes have passed since the driver
began driving vehicle.
The DAA does not operate under the
following conditions.
The vehicle speed is less than about
65 km/h (41 mph).
The vehicle speed exceeds about 140
km/h (86 mph).
The vehicle is making a sharp turn.
The vehicle is changing lanes.
The system cannot detect white
(yellow) lane lines.
The DAA may not operate normally
under the following conditions.
White (yellow) lane lines are less
visible because of dirt or fading/
patchiness.
The vehicle is jolted or swayed
continuously by strong winds or rough
roads.
The vehicle is driven aggressively.
When making frequent lane changes.
The vehicle is making a curve.
The DAA detects driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness based on the
driving data when the vehicle is driven
at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph)
for about 20 minutes. The driving data
will be reset under the following
conditions.
The vehicle is stopped for 15 minutes
or longer.
The vehicle is driven at less than
about 65 km/h (41 mph) for about 30
minutes.
The ignition is switched off.
After the DAA has displayed the first
message encouraging rest, it does not
display the next one until 60 minutes
have passed.

Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control, or the stop hold
control may not operate.)
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain
distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies
the brakes which could result in the loss
of brake power.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle
ahead may not be detected correctly.)
 Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
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
 Turn the system
off when the vehicle is
running on a chassis roller.
 If your vehicle is towed or you are towing
something, switch the MRCC system off
to prevent an unexpected operation.
NOTE
The MRCC system does not detect the
following as physical objects.
Vehicles approaching in the opposite
direction
Pedestrians
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles,
obstructions)
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely low speed, the system may
not detect it correctly.
If 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.
Do not use the MRCC system under
conditions in which close proximity
warnings are frequently activated.
During 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.
While the MRCC system is in use, it
does not cancel even if the shift lever is
operated and any intended engine
braking will not occur. If deceleration is
required, lower the vehicle speed setting
or depress the brake pedal.
While braking by the MRCC control is
operating, you might hear an operation
sound, however, this does not indicate a
problem.
The 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 traveling at a constant
speed and following a vehicle ahead.
Stop 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.

Do not rely completely on the MRCC with
Stop & Go function:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function system
has detection limitations depending on the
type of vehicle ahead and its conditions,
the weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system may be
unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid
hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle
ahead applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into the driving lane in
front of you, which could result in an
accident.
Always drive carefully and verify the
surrounding conditions and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system in the following locations.
Using the MRCC with Stop & Go function
system at the following locations may
result in an unexpected accident:
General roads other than highways
(Driving under these conditions using the
MRCC with Stop & Go function system is
not possible.)
Roads 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 MRCC with Stop &
Go function is not possible.)
 When entering and exiting interchanges,
service areas, and parking areas of
highways (If you exit a highway while
headway control is in use, the vehicle
ahead will no longer be tracked and your
vehicle may accelerate to the set speed.)
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control, or the stop hold
control may not operate.)
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain
distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies
the brakes which could result in the loss
of brake power.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle
ahead may not be detected correctly,
your vehicle may slide while stopped by
the stop hold control, and it may
accelerate suddenly after it starts
moving.)
 Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC with
Stop & Go function system off when it is not
being used.
Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go function
system turned on when it is not in use is
dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
