CLOSE PROXIMITY WARNING

While travelling in headway control, if your vehicle rapidly 

closes in on a vehicle ahead because the other driver 

applied their 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.

Switching to conventional cruise control function:

When the ON switch is pushed continuously for about 2 seconds 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) in the 

instrument cluster turns off and “Radar Cruise Control deactivated” 

message is displayed in the multi information display at the same time.

How to set the distance between vehicles:

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

 switch, or a longer distance by pushing the   switch. The distance-

between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels.

CAUTION:

 Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always 

drive carefully obeying the speed limit.

NOTE: 

The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a very large 

vehicle such as semi truck (tractor trailer) due to the sensitivity of the front sensor 

system. This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system 

and maintain your desired speed.

NOTE: 

The radar for the MRCC is located behind the Mazda emblem in the grill. 

Keep this area clean to avoid the system not working properly.
