Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)

The MRCC with Stop & Go function is a system designed to enable constant-speed driving at a set speed and headway control to maintain a constant distance with a vehicle ahead according to your vehicle speed. The system automatically accelerates, decelerates, and stops your vehicle without you having to depress the accelerator or brake pedal.

 

Also refer to the following information before using the MRCC with Stop & Go function.

  • Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).

  • Refer to Front Radar Sensor (Search).

 

Do not rely completely on the MRCC with Stop & Go function and always drive carefully:

The MRCC with Stop & Go function may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road 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 system 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.

  • The vehicle is being towed or towing another vehicle.

  • Proximity warnings activate frequently.

Switch the MRCC with Stop & Go function off when it is not being used.

Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go function on when it is not in use is dangerous as it could operate unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.

Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating.

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, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go function off, shift the selector lever to the P position, and apply the parking brake.
