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 (front) 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 sufficient 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 specifically, 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 sufficiently 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 safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the following locations.
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:



Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is insufficient space
between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and deceleration occur
(Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system 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).



Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tires could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control).
