What is Mazda i-Activsense®?
Mazda i-Activsense® is a suite of advanced safety technologies designed to help you drive with greater awareness, react faster, and protect your passengers from harm. It’s part of Mazda’s human-centric engineering philosophy—building vehicles that feel natural to drive while quietly working in the background to keep you safe.
How Mazda i-Activsense® Works
Each system in the i-Activsense safety package uses radar, cameras, or other smart sensors to monitor traffic conditions and surroundings. These tools give your Mazda the ability to recognize potential hazards and either warn you—or act on your behalf if needed.
- Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Front): Monitors vehicles and pedestrians ahead and can apply the brakes automatically to help avoid or reduce low-speed collisions.
- Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots and warns you when backing out of parking spaces.
- Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go: Maintains a set following distance and speed—ideal for commuting in Raleigh traffic or long stretches of I-95 near Wilson and Rocky Mount.
- Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist: Helps you stay centered in your lane by detecting unintended lane drift and gently steering you back into place.
- Driver Attention Alert: Monitors your driving behavior for signs of fatigue or distraction and suggests taking a break if needed.
- 360º View Monitor: Available on select models like the CX-90, this system gives you a full bird’s-eye view of your surroundings to make parking in tight spaces easier and safer.
