The rear side radar sensors emit radio
waves and detect the radio waves
re flected off a vehicle approaching
from the rear or an obstruction.
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the rear side radar
sensors clean so that they operate

immediately and have the vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Vehicles are shipped with the
direction of the rear side radar
sensor adjusted for each vehicle to a
loaded vehicle condition so that the

approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the rear side radar
sensor has deviated for some reason,
have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
For repairs or replacement of the rear
side radar sensor, or bumper repairs,
paintwork, and replacement near the
radar sensors, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
NOTE

relevant radio wave laws of the country
in which the vehicle is driven. If the
vehicle is driven abroad, authorization
from the country in which the vehicle is
driven may be required.
When any of the following conditions
is met, the detection ability of the rear
side radar sensors may decrease and
each system may not operate normally.

▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is designed to assist your
driving using the display indications so
that the distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle ahead can be maintained
appropriately.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DSA
and always drive carefully:
The DSA 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. In addition, the system is
not for maintaining the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle
ahead. If you neglect to operate the
accelerator and brake pedals correctly,
it could lead to an accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Operation conditions
The DSA operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The power switch is switched ON.The DSA is on.The selector lever is in a position
other than R.
The vehicle speed is about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or faster.
i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support
system) (green) is displayed.
The vehicle ahead is a vehicle with
four wheels.
NOTE
The DSA may also operate in the
presence of motorcycles and
bicycles.
The DSA does not operate with the
following objects.
On-coming vehiclesPe de st r ia nsStationary objects (such as
stopped vehicles, obstructions)
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely low speed, the system may
not detect it correctly.
The DSA can be set to inoperable.
However, when the power switch is
switched OFF while the DSA is
canceled, the DSA is automatically
enabled the next time the power
switch is switched ON.
Refer to the Settings section in the

▼ Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
The MRCC with Stop & Go function is
a system designed to enable
constant-speed driving at a set speed
and headway control to maintain a
constant distance with a vehicle ahead
according to your vehicle speed. The
system automatically accelerates,
decelerates, and stops your vehicle
without you having to depress the
accelerator or brake pedal.
Also refer to the following information
before using the MRCC with Stop &
Go function.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-71.
Refer to Front Radar Sensor on page
4-77.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC
with Stop & Go function and always
drive carefully:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function
may not be able to detect a vehicle
ahead depending on the type of
vehicle and its conditions, the weather
conditions, and the road conditions.
Additionally, the system might be
unable to decelerate su
fficiently if the
vehicle ahead applies the brakes
suddenly or another vehicle cuts into
your lane, which could result in an
accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Do not use the system under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident:
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than highways.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy tra ffic
where su fficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.
The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
The vehicle is driven on a long
downslope.
The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
A two-wheeled vehicle such as a
motorcycle or bicycle is traveling
ahead.
The vehicle is being towed.
Proximity warnings activate
frequently.
Switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
