Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE® Features

Learn More About Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE®

Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE® technology is a comprehensive collection of advanced safety features, innovatively designed to enhance driver awareness and decrease accident risks. This suite encompasses a range of systems that includes an advanced front-lighting system, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and smart brake support.

Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS)

The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) significantly improves nighttime visibility. This system intelligently adjusts the direction of the headlights, aligning them with the direction and angle of the steering wheel. This helps to keep the road ahead illuminated, particularly around curves.

High Beam Control (HBC)

High Beam Control (HBC) It aims to boost visibility during night drives while being considerate of other road users. This intuitive system seamlessly toggles between high and low beams depending on the presence of oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead.

Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM)

Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM) enhances safety through its blind-spot monitoring capability. It detects vehicles in the driver’s blind spot and alerts via a warning light in the corresponding side mirror. Additionally, this system integrates a rear traffic alert to assist while reversing from parking spaces by notifying the driver of approaching vehicles from the sides.

The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) with Lane-Keep Assist

This system is designed to prevent unintended lane departures. It uses lane marking detection and issues audible and visual alerts if the vehicle starts drifting from the lane without the driver activating the turning signal. The lane-keep assist component further aids by providing subtle steering adjustments to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with Stop-and-Go Function

MRCC is an adaptive cruise control system that automatically maintains a preset speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, adapting even in stop-and-go traffic, thereby reducing driver strain during prolonged drives. The stop-and-go feature allows the vehicle to come to a complete stop and resume following the car in front when traffic flow resumes.

Smart Brake Support (SBS) and Advanced Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)

SBS and SCBS are Mazda's cutting-edge automatic braking technologies. SBS is designed to mitigate frontal collision severity by autonomously initiating brakes at higher speeds when a collision risk is detected. SCBS functions at lower speeds, typical in urban environments, aiding in the prevention or reduction of collisions with vehicles and pedestrians.

Acceleration Control for Automatic Transmission

A unique feature in the i-ACTIVSENSE® suite is the Acceleration Control. This system is specifically engineered to prevent accidental rapid acceleration in automatic transmission vehicles, an essential safety measure in scenarios like parking lots or congested traffic conditions.

Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE® technologies are incorporated into most of their 2024 models, including the widely acclaimed Mazda 3 and Mazda CX-5. These features, however, vary across different models and trims. You can explore these options at Berglund Mazda in Salem, VA, where our experts are available to guide you in choosing a model equipped with the i-ACTIVSENSE® features you need for enhanced road safety.
