Cruise switch
If your Mazda has the following steering switch, your Mazda is equipped with the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system.
Refer to Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) (Search).
If the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) is set to inoperable using the personalization feature, the system switches to the cruise control function. In this case, the MRCC functions as the cruise switch. In addition, if the power switch is switched OFF with the headway control disabled using the personalization features, the headway control is enabled when the power switch is switched ON the next time.

Activation/Deactivation
Always turn off the cruise control system when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an activation-ready state while the cruise control is not in use is dangerous as the cruise control could unexpectedly activate if the activation button is accidentally pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
If the headway control function is disabled using a Mazda Connect setting, the system switches to cruise control.
Activation
To activate the system, press the cruise switch. The cruise standby indication (white) turns on.
Deactivation
To deactivate the system, press the cruise switch again.
The cruise standby indication (white) turns off.
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase/decrease speed using cruise control switch
When the RES switch is pressed up (SET+), the vehicle accelerates and when the RES switch is pressed down (SET-), it decelerates.
-
Press and release immediately: 1 km/h (1 mph)
-
Press and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
Even after releasing the RES switch, the cruise control accelerates/decelerates continuously until the set speed displayed in the instrument cluster and on the active driving display is reached. If you want to stop accelerating/decelerating, change the set speed or cancel the system (such as by depressing the brake pedal).
To increase speed using accelerator pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the RES switch up (SET+) or down (SET-) at the desired speed. If the switch is not operated, the system returns to the set speed after you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Accelerate if you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on. Greater speed will not interfere with or change the set speed. Take your foot off the accelerator to return to the set speed.
To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one of these methods:
-
Slightly depress the brake pedal.
-
Press the CANCEL switch.
If the RES switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is 30 km/h (19 mph) or higher, the system reverts to the previously set speed.
-
If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control system is temporarily canceled.
-
Even when the brake pedal is slightly depressed.
-
The DSC is operating.
-
There is a problem in the system.
-
Any of the doors is opened.
-
The driver's seat belt is unfastened.
-
The parking brake is applied.
-
The selector lever is in the P, N, or R position.
-
-
When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
