Mazda CX-5 Owners Manual: Cruise Control

Cruise Control Switch

Activation/Deactivation

To activate the system, press the ON switch.

The cruise main indicator light (Amber) illuminates.

Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on .

To deactivate the system, press the OFF switch.

The cruise main indicator light (Amber) turns off.

WARNING

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.

To Set Speed

1. Activate the cruise control system by pressing the ON switch.

The cruise main indicator light (Amber) illuminates. Refer to Warning/ Indicator Lights 5.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).

3. Set the cruise control by pressing the SET or SET - switch at the desired speed.
The cruise control is set at the moment the SET or SET - switch is pressed. Release
the accelerator pedal simultaneously. The cruise set indicator light (Green) illuminates.

NOTE

• Release the SET
or SET - switch at the desired speed, otherwise the speed will continue increasing while the SET switch is pressed and held,
and continue decreasing while the SET - switch is pressed and held (except when the accelerator pedal is depressed).

• On a steep grade, the vehicle may momentarily slow down while ascending, or speed up while descending.

• Cruise control will cancel if the vehicle speed drops below 21 km/h (13 mph) when cruise is activated, such as when climbing a steep grade.

• Cruise control may cancel at about 15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed (such as may happen when climbing a long, steep grade).

To Increase Cruising Speed

or SET - switch and release it immediately.

NOTE

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 Decrease Cruising Speed

Press the SET - switch and hold it. The vehicle will gradually slow.

Release the switch at the speed you want.

Press the SET- switch and release it immediately to adjust the preset speed.

To Resume Cruising Speed at More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)

If some other method besides the OFF switch was used to cancel cruising speed (such as applying the brake pedal) and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume when the RES switch is pressed.

If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16 mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25 km/h (16 mph) or more and press the RES switch.

To Temporarily Cancel

To temporarily cancel the system, use one of these methods:

• Press the OFF switch.

 Slightly depress the brake pedal.

• Depress the clutch pedal (Manual transaxle only).

• Press the CANCEL switch.

If the RESUME switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is 25 km/h or higher, the system reverts to the previously set speed.

To Deactivate

To deactivate the system, press the OFF switch.
