Mazda Radar Cruise Control

(MRCC)

The MRCC system is designed to

maintain headway control

*1

 with a

vehicle ahead according to your

vehicle's speed using a front radar

sensor 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

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 su

cient distance between the

vehicles.

Also refer to the following before using

the MRCC.

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the MRCC

:

The MRCC 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

su

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 drive carefully and verify the

surrounding conditions and depress

the brake pedal or accelerator pedal

while keeping a safe distance from

vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Do not use the MRCC system in the

following locations. Using the MRCC

system at the following locations may

result in an unexpected accident:

General roads other than highways

(Driving under these conditions

using the MRCC system is not

possible.)

Roads with sharp curves and where

vehicle tra

c is heavy with

insu

cient space between vehicles,

or roads where frequent and

repetitive acceleration and

deceleration occur (Driving under

these conditions using the MRCC is

not possible.)

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.)
