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.

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.
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not
detect it correctly.
While driving using the MRCC, intended engine braking is not applied even if the
selector lever is operated.

When the forward detection function
operates*
The forward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
(If an object is a vehicle ahead)
The vehicle speed is about 4 km/h
(3 mph) or faster.
(If an object is a bicycle/pedestrian)
The vehicle speed is about 10
km/h to 80 km/h (6.3 mph to 49
mph).
The DSC does not operate.The system determines that there is a
possibility of a collision with an
object ahead.
When the forward detection function
operates, the driver is notified of the
danger by the screen display and
warning sound. Furthermore, if the
possibility of a collision increases,
brake control is performed.
