Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function

(MRCC with Stop & Go function)

*

The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is designed to maintain headway control

*1

 with a vehicle ahead according

to your vehicle's speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to the vehicle ahead
and a preset vehicle speed without you having to 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 such as if 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.
If the vehicle ahead stops while you are following behind it, your vehicle will stop and be
held stopped automatically (stop hold control), and headway control will resume when you
resume driving the vehicle such as by pressing the RES switch.
Also refer to the following before using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go
function (MRCC with Stop & Go function).

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC
with Stop & Go function):

The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
system is designed to reduce load on the driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle
speed, or specifically, it maintains a constant distance between your vehicle and the detected
vehicle ahead according to your 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 sufficiently 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 drive carefully and verify the surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
