Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Cruise Control Switch

Mazda 6 Owners Manual / When Driving / Cruise Control (Some models) / Cruise Control Switch

Cruise Main Indication (White)/ Cruise Set Indication (Green)

The indication has two colors.

Cruise Main Indication (White)

The indication turns on (white) when the cruise control system is activated.

Cruise Set Indication (Green)

The indication turns on (green) when a cruising speed has been set.

Activation/Deactivation

To activate the system, press the ON switch. The cruise main indication (white) turns on.

To deactivate the system, press the OFF/ CANCEL switch.

The cruise main indication (white) 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.

NOTE

When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF with the cruise control system operable, the system will be operable when the ignition is switched ON the next time.

To Set Speed

1. Activate the cruise control system by pressing the ON switch. The cruise main indication (white) turns on.

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/
switch at the desired speed. The cruise control is set at the moment the SET/
switch is pressed. Release the accelerator pedal simultaneously. The cruise set indication (green) turns on.

NOTE

The cruise control speed setting cannot be performed under the following conditions:
- (Automatic transaxle)
  The selector lever is in the P or N position.
- (Manual transaxle)
  The shift lever is in the neutral position.
- The parking brake is applied.
Release the SET/
switch at the desired speed, otherwise the speed will 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.
The cruise control will cancel if the vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h (13 mph) when the cruise control is activated, such as when climbing a steep grade.
The cruise control may cancel at about 15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed, such as when climbing a long, steep grade.

The vehicle speed preset using the cruise control is displayed in the instrument cluster and the active driving display (vehicles with active driving display).
