Warnings and Cautions for Using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)

 


Do not rely completely on the MRCC.

The MRCC may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the road and weather conditions. Additionally, the system might be unable to decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into your lane, which could result in an accident.

Always check the surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safe distance from a vehicle ahead or a vehicle following behind you.

Do not use the MRCC under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.

  • The vehicle is driven on roads other than highways.

  • The vehicle is driven on roads with sharp curves or with heavy traffic where sufficient distances between vehicles cannot be kept.

  • The vehicle is driven on roads where acceleration and deceleration are frequently repeated.

  • The vehicle is exiting the main lane on an expressway to enter an interchange, a rest area, or a parking area.

  • The vehicle is driven on slippery roads such as icy roads, snow-covered roads, and unpaved roads.

  • The vehicle is driven on a long downslope.

  • The vehicle is driven on a steep slope.

  • A two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle or bicycle is traveling ahead.

Do not leave the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped by the MRCC control.

Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating is dangerous as the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before leaving the vehicle, shift the shift selector to the P position and apply the parking brake.

 


Do not use the MRCC when the vehicle is being towed or towing another vehicle.

 

Do not use the MRCC when using chassis rollers.

 

Depending on the surrounding conditions, the forward camera may not be able to detect the target object correctly and the MRCC may not operate normally. Check the safety around the vehicle when driving.

Refer to Forward Camera (Search).
