April is recognized as Distracted Driving Awareness Month, which reminds everyone to stay focused behind the wheel. There are many advanced Mazda safety features that can help you do just that. Fields Mazda of Asheville shares available safety features that help prevent distracted driving accidents.
Driver Monitoring
Many new Mazda models are available with a Driver Monitoring feature. It uses a camera to monitor your driving patterns, which helps it detect inattentive or drowsy driving. If it does, it will alert you with audible and visual warnings.
Smart Brake Support
If Smart Brake Support Front Crossing senses a collision is likely with a vehicle crossing from either side, it will activate your automatic emergency braking. Smart Brake Support and Turn-Across Traffic will warn you of oncoming vehicles as you make a left turn. It will activate your automatic emergency braking if it senses an imminent collision.
Road Keep Assist
You also run the risk of driving off the road when you’re distracted. The available Road Keep Assist feature becomes active when you’re driving over 40 mph. It can alert you or even provide steering assistance if it senses you’re drifting out of your lane.
Cruising and Traffic Support
Distracted driving often coincides with highway driving, as you may be on the road for an extended time. Cruising and Traffic Support works in conjunction with your adaptive cruise control to keep you safe. It can keep you at an appropriate following distance from other vehicles, and steering assist to help keep the vehicle within lane lines.
