When the system is on, the CTS standby indication (white) is displayed on
the screen.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
3. Set the vehicle speed by pressing the RES switch up (SET+) or down (SET-).
Constant speed driving starts when the vehicle speed is set. In addition, the set
speed is displayed on the screen, and the CTS standby indication (white)

2. Vehicle ahead indication
NOTE
While in EV mode, acceleration may be restricted and the vehicle may not be able
to be driven at the set speed.
Refer to Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) on page 5-95.
If there is a structure on the road or an obstruction at a low height off the ground
in front of the vehicle, the system may recognize it as a vehicle ahead.
Acceleration and deceleration by accelerator pedal operation takes priority while
traveling at a constant speed or in headway control. When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to driving at a constant speed or headway control at
the set speed.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may not be able to detect target objects
correctly, and the CTS may not operate normally.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 5-127.
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not
detect it correctly.
While driving using the CTS, intended engine braking is not applied even if the
selector lever is operated.
The brake lights turn on while the brakes are operating by the CTS control.
