Mazda Radar Cruise Control

MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)

The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following distance using 
a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the 
vehicle speed between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h) and the 
system will maintain a safe following distance without having to turn the 
cruise control off. 

Setting the MRCC

When the ON switch is pushed, 
the vehicle speed and the 
distance between vehicles  
while in headway control can  
be set. The MRCC indication 
is shown in the display of the 
instrument cluster.

The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:

Constant Speed Mode

When no vehicle is detected ahead,  

the driver’s set speed is maintained.

Headway Control Mode

When a vehicle is detected ahead,  

a distance between your vehicle and  

the vehicle ahead is maintained.
