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.
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.
The brake lights turn on while the brakes are operating by the MRCC control.The MRCC is also turned off automatically when the vehicle power is switched
OFF.

system switches to the cruise control. At this time, the MRCC switch functions as
the cruise control switch.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
If the vehicle power is switched OFF while the distance between vehicles control is
disabled, the distance between vehicles control is enabled automatically the next
time the vehicle power is switched ON.
If the vehicle ahead stops during headway control, your vehicle in headway control
also stops. When the vehicle is stopped, the MRCC indicator light
in the
instrument cluster turns on.
When the vehicle ahead accelerates from a stop and one of the following operations
is performed, your vehicle starts driving.

If the vehicle is stopped by the system continuously for 10 minutes or longer, the
parking brake is applied automatically. At this time, the MRCC is canceled.
Even if the MRCC is canceled while the vehicle is stopped, the vehicle is held in its
stopped position.
Refer to AUTOHOLD on page 5-63.
If the MRCC is canceled while the vehicle is stopped and there is no vehicle
ahead, you cannot resume driving the ve hicle using the RES switch. Depress the
accelerator pedal and start driving the vehicle.

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.

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.
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.
