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 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 an d 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 follo wing 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.
Also refer to the following before usin g the MRCC with Stop & Go function.
AUTOHOLD (page 4-99)
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (page 4-256)
Radar sensor (front) (page 4-261)
WARNING
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 weat her 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 sudd enly 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 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 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 and there is
insufficient space
between vehicles.

CX-5_8KN5-EA-21K_Edition1_old 2021-9-9 8:35:12

Roads where frequent and repetitive accelerati on and deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC with Stop & Go function system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e 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 distan ce 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 ahea d 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.)
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go function system off when it is not being
used.
Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating:
Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold co ntrol is operating is dangerous as the vehicle
may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before getting out of the vehicle, switch the
MRCC with Stop & Go function system off, shift the selector lever to the P position, and apply
the parking brake.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system off to prevent a mis-operation.
NOTE
The MRCC with Stop & Go function 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.
During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go function 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 with Stop & Go function system is in use, it does not 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.
The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
The brake lights turn on while the MRCC with Stop & Go function automatic braking is
operating.

Traffic 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 traffic 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 k eeping the vehicle within the lane lines. If lane
lines are not detected, the function provides th e driver driving assistance in keeping the
vehicle along the motion path with the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
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 acco rding to the road conditions and the weather
conditions.
 The TJA may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle ahead
and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Add\
itionally, the
system might be unable to decelerate suffic iently if a vehicle ahead applies the brakes
suddenly, another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, or the difference in vehicle speed
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is larger, which could result in an accident.
Check the surrounding conditions and always drive carefully while keeping a safe distance
from vehicles ahead and on-coming vehicles.

For the purposes of safety, switch the TJA off when it is not being used.
Leaving the TJA turned on when it is not in us e is dangerous as it could operate unexpectedly,
resulting in an accident.

Do not use the TJA under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.
 General roads other than expressways or high ways (Driving under these conditions using
the TJA is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle tr affic is heavy with insufficient space between
vehicles, or roads where frequent and repet itive acceleration and deceleration occur
(Driving under these conditions using the TJA is not possible).

When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e areas, and parking areas of expressways (If
you exit an expressway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer be
tracked and your vehicle may a ccelerate to the set speed).
 Slippery roads such as icy or snow-covered roads and unpaved 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.)
 Two-wheeled vehicles such as mo torcycles or bicycles are ahead.
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahea d may not be detected correctly, your vehicle
may slip while stopped by the stop hold control, or it may accelerate suddenly after it starts
moving.)
 Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
 Tires of a
different
specified size are used, such as a temporary spare tire.
 Tires with insufficient tread are used.
 The tire pressures are not adjusted to the
specified pressure.
 The vehicle is being used to tow a camper or boat trailer.
 Tire chains are used.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with lane lines other than white (yellow) lines, such as an
expressway.

Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating.
Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold co ntrol is operating is dangerous as the vehicle
may move unexpectedly and result in an accident . Before getting out of the vehicle, switch the
TJA off, apply the parking brake, and then sh ift the selector lever to the P position.

CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so th at the TJA can operate normally.
 Turn the system off when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller.
 Do not modify the vehicle's suspensions.
 Always use wheels of the specified size for th e front and rear wheels. Consult an Authorized

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 TJA.
Do not use the TJA under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently
activated.
If it is necessary to accelerate for a lane change or 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 TJA is in use, any intended engine braking does not occur even if you shift the
selector lever. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the
brake pedal.
While braking by the TJA 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 TJA 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.
Under the following conditions, the TJA may no t be able to detect white (yellow) lines or
vehicles ahead correctly and the TJA may not operate normally.
The forward sensing camera (FSC) cannot recognize the area in front of the vehicle due
to soiling or fog.
The white (yellow) lane lines are less vi sible because of dirt or paint flaking.
White (yellow) lane lines or vehicles ahe ad are less visible because of bad weather
(rain, fog, or snow).
The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from
