Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) (Manual
Tra n s m i s s i o n )
*
▼Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
The MRCC system is designed to
maintain headway control*1 with a
vehicle ahead according to your
vehicle's speed using a front radar
sensor to detect the distance to the
vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle
speed without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead detected by the
MRCC system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts
closing in on the vehicle ahead such as
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a
warning sound and a warning
indication in the display are activated
simultaneously to alert you to maintain
a su fficient distance between the
vehicles.
Also refer to the fo llowing before using
the MRCC.
Front radar sensor (page 4-207)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC :
The MRCC 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
su fficiently to avoid hitting the vehicle
ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the
brakes suddenly or another vehicle
cuts into the driving lane, 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 system in the
following locations. Using the MRCC
system at the following locations may
result in an unexpected accident:
 General roads other than highways
(Driving under these conditions
using the MRCC system is not
possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle tra ffic is heavy with
insu fficient space between vehicles,
or roads where frequent and
repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC 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.)

▼Shift-up/Shift-down Request
Display
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
If 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 canceled or
engine damage could occur.
If the gears are not shifted down
even though the shift-down request
indication is displayed, the MRCC
might be automatically canceled or
engine stalling could occur.

▼ Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
The MRCC with Stop & Go function
system is designed to maintain
headway control
*1 with a vehicle
ahead according to your vehicle's
speed using a front radar sensor to
detect the distance to the vehicle
ahead and a preset vehicle speed
without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead detected by the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts
closing in on the vehicle ahead such as
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a
warning sound and a warning
indication in the display are activated
simultaneously to alert you to maintain
a su fficient distance between the
vehicles.
If the vehicle ahead stops while you are
following behind it, your vehicle will
stop and be held stopped
automatically (stop hold control), and
headway control will resume when you
resume driving the vehicle such as by
pressing the RES switch.

NOTE
When you resume driving by pressing
the RES switch, your vehicle does not
start moving until the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead lengthens to the specified
distance or farther.
If the MRCC with Stop & Go
function is temporarily canceled
during stop hold control, you cannot
resume driving by pressing the RES
switch when there are no vehicles in
front of your vehicle. Depress the
accelerator pedal and resume driving
the vehicle.
If the vehicle ahead starts moving
within 3 seconds after your vehicle is
stopped by the stop hold control,
headway control will resume even if
you do not resume driving your
vehicle, such as by depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Resume driving information
If you do not resume driving within a
few seconds after the vehicle ahead
starts moving , the multi-information
display vehicle-ahead indication
fl ashes to urge the driver to resume
driving. If you do not resume driving
after the indicator light flashes, a
sound is activated to urge you to
resume driving.
Tra ffic Jam Assist (TJA)*
▼ Tra
ffic Jam Assist (TJA)
The TJA is a system which consists of a
headway control function and a
steering assist function for reducing
driver fatigue during tra
ffic jams when
driving on expressways or highways.
This system performs headway control
to maintain a constant distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle
ahead at a preset vehicle speed
without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedal. Even
further, with the steering assist
function, when vehicle lane lines are
detected, the function assists the driver
in keeping the vehicle within the lane
lines. If lane lines are not detected, the
function provides the driver driving
assistance in keeping the vehicle along
the motion path with the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on TJA:
 The TJA is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the functions
have limitations. Do not rely
completely on the system and always
stay on course using the steering
wheel.
 Set a vehicle speed within the speed
limit according to the road
conditions and the weather
conditions.

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 active
driving display).

display)
Active 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 cluster and
on the active driving display is reached.
If you want to stop accelerating/
decelerating , 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 o ff the accelerator to return
to the set speed.

the wrench indicator light or displaying a
message in the instrument panel, or both.
Every engine oil replacement must be done when the display/wrench indication
comes on. The display/wrench indication will come on before reaching the maxi-
mum interval of 16,000 km (10,000 miles), or 12 months (after the previous main-
tenance).
If you are following 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or 6 months maintenance interval, set
