▼Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission ―
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up
the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed
to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
Step 3 of Programming the HomeLink
System with the following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.
While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the hand-held
transmitter for 2 sec onds and release it
repeatedly until the indicator light changes
from amber to green.
Go back to Step 4 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
▼ Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device.
▼Reprogramming the HomeLink
system
To program a device to HomeLink using a
HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. After 20 seconds, the indicator light flashes in amber. After the indicator
light flashes, release the HomeLink
button.
3. Go back to Step 2 of Programming the HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
NOTE
If the programming has not been
completed, the syst em returns to the
previous programming.
▼ Erasing Programmed HomeLink
Buttons
NOTE
All of the programmed HomeLink
buttons are reset.
Individual buttons
cannot be reset, however, individual
buttons can be reprogrammed. For
individual button reprogramming, refer
to Reprogramming the HomeLink
System (page 4-98).
Verify that the programming has been
erased if you resell the vehicle.

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 radar sensor (front) to detect
the distance to the vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle speed wi thout 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 sufficient distance between the vehicles.
If the vehicle ahead stops while you are following behind it, y our vehicle will stop and be
held stopped automatically (stop hold control), and headway con trol will resume when you
resume driving the vehicle such as by pressing the RES switch.
Also refer to the following befo re using the MRCC with Stop & G o function.
AUTOHOLD (page 4-105)
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (page 4-215)
Radar sensor (front) (page 4-220)
WA R N I N G
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 dece lerate sufficiently to avoid hitting the vehicle
ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes sudd enly or another vehicle cuts into the driving
lane, which could result in an accident.
Always drive carefully and verify the surroundi ng conditions and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer 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 high ways (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 and there is
insufficient space
between vehicles.
