  • The cruise control does not operate when the Hill Descent Control is operating.

  • The accelerator pedal operation takes priority during constant speed driving. When you release your foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle returns to constant speed driving at the set speed.

  • If the distance between vehicles control is disabled using the Mazda Connect, the system switches to the cruise control. At this time, the MRCC switch functions as the cruise control switch.

    Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

    If the vehicle power is switched OFF while the distance between vehicles control is disabled, the distance between vehicles control is enabled automatically the next time the vehicle power is switched ON.

  • The system may not be able to maintain the set speed depending on the road conditions such as steep up or down slopes.

  • When the vehicle speed is less than 20 km/h (12 mph), the cruise control is canceled. If you want to use the cruise control again, reset the cruise control.

  • The brake lights turn on while the brakes are operating by the cruise control.
