The vehicle in question is the 2020 CX-5 Touring AWD with zero options:
When I purchased the car I asked the salesman if I could turn off the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) headway control, the cruise control function that slows the vehicle as a slower car is approached. In other words, can I operate cruise control in the old school way? I'd like to get rid of headway control if it can be avoided. He said no.
Now I'm reading a note on page 4-159 in the MRCC section of the manual that describes "Switching to Cruise Control Function." The way that reads, and the way this manual has different sections that seem to talk about MRCC and "Cruise Control" as two different things, the 4-159 verbiage seems to suggest one can switch to old school cruise control.
I'd prefer not to experiment with this in live traffic. Does anybody know if the steps on page 4-159 really switch it to old school cruise mode? And if so, are any other functions turned off in the process like emergency braking?
