i-ACTIVSENSE® TECHNOLOGY
Blind Spot Monitoring
This standard feature can help detect vehicles in the driver’s blind spots and provide visual alerts. If the driver signals a lane change while a vehicle is in their blind spot, an additional audible alert can activate.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Once engaged, this available feature can maintain a set speed or a minimum following distance in slower traffic. It can also stop and go with the flow of traffic without the driver having to use the brake or accelerator pedal.
Smart Brake Support – Forward
This standard feature can alert the driver of objects in the vehicle’s forward path and activate automatic emergency braking if a potential collision is predicted.
Lane-Keep Assist
When traveling above about 40 mph, this standard feature can provide momentary steering assistance if it detects the driver might be deviating from their lane without signaling.
Parking Sensors
Available sensors located on the front and rear of the vehicle can identify obstructions around the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion and display them on the Mazda Connect™ screen. Audible and visual alerts will then notify the driver as the distance to the obstacle decreases.
360° View Monitor
For this available feature, cameras positioned around the vehicle’s exterior create a 360° view visible on the Mazda Connect™ screen to help give the drivers a greater awareness of their surroundings when navigating small spaces or parking.
High Beam Control
When traveling above 20 mph, this standard feature can help maximize driver visibility at night by maintaining high beams and automatically switching to low beams when it detects oncoming traffic or a vehicle ahead.
PROTECT
PASSIVE SAFETY TECHNOLOGY
To help protect passengers during a collision, Mazda features a rigid SKYACTIV®-Body, seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, an anti-intrusion brake pedal, and Advanced Airbag Systems.

10 airbags provide knee, front, and side-impact protection. Enhanced seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are found on all outboard seats.
This body is 8% lighter and 30% more rigid than earlier designs. The change delivers optimal efficiency by distributing the force of an impact in case of a collision.
