Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)

     Mazda  Radar  Cruise  Control  (MRCC)

            The  Mazda  Radar  Cruise  Control  (MRCC)  system  is  designed  to  maintain  headway  control 

*1

according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor 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 suffi cient distance between the vehicles.
  Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other highways 
which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.

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 safe distance from 
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
