How to set the distance between vehicles: 

The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance by pushing the 

 switch and 

a longer distance by pushing the 

 switch. The distance between vehicles can be set to 

four levels.

Switching to conventional cruise control function: 

When the MODE switch is pushed while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system 
is turned on, the system is switched to conventional cruise control function.

The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator light (green) turns white when in 

STANDBY mode or turns off when the MRCC is OFF.

CLOSE PROXIMITY WARNING

While traveling in headway control, if your vehicle rapidly 
closes in on a vehicle ahead because the other driver applied 
his or her brakes suddenly, a 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 safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Additionally, 

always keep a safe distance from the vehicles behind you.

NOTE:

 The MRCC may apply the brakes when passing a 

semi truck (tractor trailer). This is normal. Simply push the 
accelerator pedal to override the system.
