Mazda i-Activsense® is the suite of advanced driver-assistance technology built into every current Mazda model, designed to support a heightened sense of confidence behind the wheel. At Fields Mazda of Asheville, we get asked about these features nearly every day, so here is what i-Activsense actually does behind the scenes.
Collision Prevention
Smart Brake Support uses radar and camera data to detect a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian ahead and can apply the brakes automatically if you do not react in time. Front Cross Traffic Alert helps detect vehicles approaching from the side when entering an intersection, giving you additional awareness in situations where cross traffic may be difficult to see. Smart Brake Support can help reduce the severity of or avoid certain collisions by automatically applying the brakes when necessary.
Driver Awareness
Driver Attention Alert monitors your steering patterns and can suggest a break if it senses fatigue setting in, while Lane Departure Warning and Lane-Keep Assist help you stay centered without much thought. Blind Spot Monitoring keeps watch on the areas mirrors cannot fully cover, alerting you before a lane change turns risky.
Highway Confidence
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with Speed Limit Assist helps maintain a preset following distance and can adjust to posted speed limits on equipped models. Available Cruising & Traffic Support can reduce driver workload in slow-moving traffic, while available Lane Change Assist provides additional support during highway lane changes on select MAZDA models. Traffic Sign Recognition reads posted speed limits and displays them on your dash, so you are never guessing. Together, these features are meant to ease the mental load of a long drive, not take over the driving itself.
Parking and Visibility
Parking becomes easier with available driver-assistance features designed to improve visibility around your vehicle. An available 360° View Monitor provides a bird's-eye view of your new Mazda vehicle to help you navigate tight parking spaces, while available front and rear parking sensors can alert you to nearby obstacles. A rearview camera with dynamic guidelines adds confidence when backing up, helping you better judge your path into or out of a parking space.
