The Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE technology is a suite of advanced safety features designed to alert drivers to potential hazards, reducing the likelihood of accidents. The suite includes an advanced front-lighting system with high-beam control, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go traffic assist, lane departure warning and lane-keep assist, and smart brake support.
The Adaptive Front-lighting System is designed to improve visibility at night by shifting the direction of the headlights based on where you turn the steering wheel and the speed of your vehicle. This system ensures that the light is always pointing toward the road ahead, especially around curves.
Mazda's High Beam Control (HBC) is designed to enhance night-time visibility without inconveniencing other drivers. The system automatically switches between high and low beams in response to oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead.
RVM is Mazda’s blind-spot monitoring system. It helps by detecting vehicles approaching from the rear that you may not see. When a vehicle enters the blind spot, a warning light appears in the corresponding side mirror. The RVM system also includes a rear traffic alert, which works in tandem with the blind spot monitoring aspect to alert you when a vehicle is approaching from the side while you’re reversing out of parking spaces.
The lane departure warning system detects lane markings and alerts the driver with audible and visual warnings when the vehicle begins to drift from its lane unintentionally. Lane-keep assist further assists by providing gentle steering inputs to guide the vehicle back to the center of its lane.
MRCC is Mazda’s adaptive cruise control system, which maintains a set speed and safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It automatically adjusts the speed of your vehicle to maintain a preset distance, even in stop-and-go traffic, reducing driver fatigue on long journeys. The stop-and-go function allows the vehicle to come to a complete stop and resume following the car ahead when traffic starts moving again.
SBS and SCBS are Mazda's advanced automatic braking technologies. SBS helps to reduce the severity of frontal collisions by automatically applying the brakes when a risk of collision is detected at higher speeds. SCBS, on the other hand, is designed for lower speeds, common in urban settings, and assists in preventing or mitigating collisions with vehicles and pedestrians.
Acceleration Control for Automatic Transmission is a distinctive feature in Mazda's suite of safety technologies, designed to prevent unintentional rapid acceleration in vehicles with automatic transmission. This system is particularly useful in situations where a driver might mistakenly press the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, such as in parking lots or heavy traffic.
Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE technologies are available on most 2024 models, including the popular Mazda 3 and the Mazda CX-5, available at Keffer Mazda in Huntersville, NC.
