The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control *1 according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to a vehicle ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h (19 mph) and 145 km/h (90 mph), the driver is freed from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for example, the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a sufficient distance between the vehicles.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressway
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always
drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load
on the
driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or specifi
cally, it maintains
a constant distance between your vehicle and the detected vehicle ahead
according to
the vehicle speed, the system has detection limitations depending on the
type of vehicle
ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally,
the system may be unable to decelerate suffi ciently to avoid hitting
the vehicle ahead
if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts
into the driving
lane, which could result in an accident. Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area
and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer
distance from
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations.
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
|
For the purposes of safety, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system off when it is not being used.
CAUTION If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system off to prevent an incorrect operation. |
NOTE
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on .
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) Display Indication
The setting status and operation conditions of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system are indicated in the active driving display.

If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead because the vehicle applies the brakes suddenly while you are traveling in headway control, the warning sound activates and the brake warning is indicated in the display. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal while keeping a safer distance from the vehicle ahead.
Additionally, always keep a safer distance from the vehicles behind you.
Setting the System
When the ON switch is pressed, the vehicle speed and the distance between vehicles while in headway control can be set. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indication is shown in the active driving display.
NOTE Whben the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is ON, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) remains ON automatically.

NOTE
Additionally, when a vehicle ahead is no longer detected, the vehicle-ahead indication turns off and the system switches back to travel at constant speed.
How to Set the Distance Between Vehicles During Headway Control
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance each time the switch is pressed. The distance between vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressing the switch. The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short, and extremely short distance.
Distance-betweenvehicles guideline (at 80 km/h (50 mph) vehicle speed) |
Indication on display |
Long (about 50 m (164 ft)) | |
Medium (about 40 m (131 ft)) | |
Short (about 30 m (98 ft)) | |
Extremely short (about 25 m (82 ft)) |
NOTE
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the SET switch
Press the SET switch to accelerate.
Press the SET switch to decelerate.
The set vehicle speed changes as follows each time the SET switch is pressed.
Short press | 1 km/h (1 mph) |
Long press | 10 km/h (5 mph) |
NOTE For example, the set vehicle speed is changed by pressing the SET switch four times as follows: The vehicle speed accelerates or decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
To accelerate using the accelerator pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press and release the SET or SET switch at the desired speed. If a switch cannot be operated, the system returns to the set speed when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.
