When Driving

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)

  Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the following locations. 
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:

¾

  Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffi

  c is heavy and there is insuffi

  cient 

space between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and 
deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise 
Control (MRCC) system is not possible).

¾

  When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways 

(If you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer 
be tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).

¾

  Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tires could spin causing you to 

lose vehicle control).

¾

  Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system 

automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of 
brake power).

  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.
