What is the Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE system?
May 06 2022,
i-ACTIVSENSE is the name given to the complete suite of active safety systems and driver assistance features found on new Mazda vehicles.
Features that help you be a better driver
The i-ACTIVSENSE suite of technologies from Mazda includes systems that are designed to improve your abilities by making driving easier and more relaxing. For example, the adaptive cruise control seamlessly maintains a safe distance between your Mazda and the vehicle in front by using a radar sensor. In order to avoid blinding other drivers, most Mazda vehicles are now equipped with automatic highbeams, which illuminate to give you a better view of the road ahead and then turn off automatically when another car risks being inconvenienced by the bright light.
Features the help you identify a risk
In order to give you enough time to react, the i-ACTIVSENSE systems in Mazda vehicles comes with the blind spot monitoring system which alerts you to the presence of a vehicle you might not have seen approaching in your blind spots on either side. If you attempt to change lanes while a car is next to your Mazda, an alert is sounded. The forward collision alert is a major part of the safety features present on Mazda vehicles since it warns the driver of an impeding crash while there is still plenty of time to react. The lane departure warning system monitors the vehicle’s position in its lane and then sounds an alarm if it detects the crossing of a line which is not accompanied by a use of the turn signal or a push on the accelerator.
Features that help you avoid a collision
Once the collision warning has been activated, the i-ACTIVSENSE system doesn’t let you down, since it takes action for you if it detects that the risk is still present. Indeed, if you don’t react to the forward collision alert or the available rear collision alert, the system will apply the brakes to stop the vehicle or to reduce the severity of an accident.
