Rear Cross Traffic Alert(RCTA)
*
The RCTA assists the driver in checking
the area to the rear of the vehicle, such
as while reversing out of a parking
space. When a vehicle approaching
from the rear on the left or right is
detected, various screen displays and
warning sounds notify the driver of the
danger.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Rear Cross Tra ffi c Alert (RCTA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the RCTA.
The RCTA is a system to assist the
driver in checking the area to the rear
of the vehicle while reversing. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of the system, the BSM warning light
may not
flash or it might be delayed
even though a vehicle is at the rear of
your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.

How to Use the Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Operating the RCTA
The RCTA operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The vehicle is about to be driven in
reverse.
The system detects an approaching
vehicle.
When the RCTA operates, the driver is
notified of the danger by flashing of
the BSM warning lights, a warning
indication, and a warning sound.
NOTE
The system may operate even if a
vehicle is not approaching
depending on the conditions around
your vehicle.
The RCTA may not operate normally
if any of the following conditions is
met.
The rear side radar sensors cannot
detect an object.
Refer to Radar Sensors on page
5-131.
The vehicle speed when reversing
is about 15 km/h (9 mph) or
faster.
A vehicle is approaching directly
from the rear of your vehicle.
A vehicle is approaching at an
angle from the rear of your vehicle.
If a Mazda genuine trailer hitch is
used, the RCTA is automatically
turned off when the trailer's
electrical connector is connected.
When pulling a trailer other than
with a Mazda genuine trailer hitch,
or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear
of the vehicle, turn off the RCTA.
Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves
will be blocked causing the RCTA to
not operate normally.
The brightness of the BSM warning
lights is linked to the panel light
control.
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on
page 5-35.

Mazda Radar CruiseControl (MRCC)
*
MRCC is a system that reduces load on
the driver through constant speed and
headway control. The function
performs headway control to maintain
the distance with a vehicle ahead at a
constant preset speed without you
having to depress the accelerator or
brake pedal.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Mazda
Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC.
The MRCC 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. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
sufficiently 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 MRCC 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 traffic
where sufficient 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.

NOTE
The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels: Long, medium, short, and
extremely short distance.
The distance-between-vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the
slower the vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
Close proximity warning
If your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead while in headway control, a warning
sound and a display cautions you.
1. “Depress Brake Pedal”
NOTE
The close proximity warning may not be activated in the following cases.
The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.Directly after the MRCC is set.Immediately after the accelerator pedal is released.Another vehicle cuts into the driving lane.Do not use the MRCC under conditions in which the close proximity warnings are
frequently activated.
The MRCC is canceled temporarily
If any of the following conditions is met, the MRCC is canceled temporarily.
The brake pedal is depressed.The CANCEL switch is pressed one time.The DSC has operated.The Smart Brake Support (SBS) has operated.The front radar sensors cannot detect target objects.The parking brake is applied.Any door is opened.The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.The frequency of the braking operation by the MRCC is high.
If the MRCC is temporarily canceled, it will resume operation at the previously set
speed by pressing the RES switch.

Cruising & Traffic Support(CTS)
*
The CTS is a system that reduces the
load on the driver while the vehicle is
driven on expressways or highways.
The CTS has the following 2 functions.
Constant speed/Headway control
function
The function performs headway
control to maintain the distance with a
vehicle ahead at a constant preset
speed without you having to depress
the accelerator or brake pedal.
Steering wheel assist function
When vehicle lane lines are detected,
the function assists your steering wheel
operation to follow the vehicle lane
lines.
When vehicle lane lines are not
detected, the function assists your
steering wheel operation to follow the
trajectory of the vehicle ahead.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using Cruising &
Tra ffi c Support (CTS)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the CTS.

The CTS is not an automated driving
system. Therefore, the function has
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 CTS 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. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
sufficiently if the vehicle ahead
applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into your lane,
which could result in an accident.
Do not use the CTS under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
 The vehicle is driven on roads other
than expressways and highways.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy
traffic
where sufficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
