I-ACTIVSENSE Technology
Each Mazda model comes equipped with the I-ACTIVSENSE suite of driver-assist technology. This advanced network of sensors, radars, and cameras work together to provide an extra set of eyes on your surroundings and react accordingly. Whether it is a car entering your blind spot, a pedestrian walking in the road in front of you, or recognizing the most recent traffic signs affecting your travels. You are well covered.
Let's take a look at some of the I-ACTIVSENSE features that come standard on many of our new Mazda models at Northtown Mazda.
- Blind-Spot Monitoring: Alerts you to cars in your blind spot so you know to avoid changing lanes.
- Rear View Monitor: Provides static guidelines as you reverse in or out of a parking spot. Ideal for parallel parking on busy streets and bustling parking lots.
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control w. Stop & Go: This lets you take your foot off the gas when breezing down the highway. It keeps track of the traffic in front of you and adjusts your speed to keep you at a safe distance.
- Lane Departure Warning System: Monitors your driving and notices if you start to drift from one lane into another. If you cross the line without using an indicator light, it will notify you with an audible alert.
- Lane Keep Assist: Similar to the Lane Departure Warning System. It will notice if you drift from one lane into the next. But it will actively work to move you back toward the center of your original lane.
- Driver Attention Alert: After commuting for long periods, this system will notice any unusual tendencies, like changes in speed, odd drifting, and other things that might indicate you could be nodding off or it is time for a break.
- Vehicle Exit Warning: You may not always notice cars coming in from behind you when you are exiting your car. You Mazda will with this feature. If traffic is moving alongside you, it will sound an alert if a car is passing or pulling into the parking spot next to you. This is a great feature if you have young passengers who tend to swing open a door and jump out of the back seat.
