CAUTION:
Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE:
The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a very large
vehicle such as semi truck (tractor trailer) due to the sensitivity of the front sensor
system. This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system
and maintain your desired speed.

When the ON switch is pushed continuously for about 2 seconds while the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on, the system is
switched to conventional cruise control function.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster turns off and "Radar Cruise Control deactivated"
message is displayed in the multi information display at the same time.
