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 ahea d 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 safe 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:
Ø 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).
Ø When entering and exiting interchanges, ser vice 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).
Ø Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tires could spin causing you
to lose vehicle control).
Ø Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss
of brake power).
For the purposes of safety, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system off
when it is not being used.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system off to prevent a miss-operation.
