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 radar sensor (front) 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 sufficient distance
between the vehicles.
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
WARNING
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 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 drive carefully and verify the surrounding conditions and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
