Passport Mazda’s Commitment to Safety: Exploring Mazda’s Advanced Safety Features

i-Activsense®:
Mazda’s i-Activsense® is an advanced suite of safety technologies that utilize sophisticated sensors and cameras to assist drivers in various scenarios. These features are designed to enhance awareness, improve responsiveness, and provide added assistance when needed. Some notable components of i-Activsense® include:

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS): This system helps prevent or minimize collisions at low speeds by detecting obstacles ahead and automatically applying the brakes if the driver fails to react.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): BSM uses radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from blind spots and provides a visual or audible warning to help drivers make safer lane changes.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): When reversing out of a parking space, RCTA alerts the driver to any approaching vehicles from the sides, reducing the risk of collisions.

Lane-Keep Assist System (LAS): LAS helps prevent unintentional lane departure by gently correcting the steering if the vehicle drifts out of its lane without using the turn signal.

Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS): AFS improves visibility during nighttime driving by pivoting the headlights as the vehicle turns, illuminating the path more effectively.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with Stop & Go:
Mazda’s Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system uses radar technology to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Unlike traditional cruise control systems, MRCC can adjust the vehicle’s speed to match the flow of traffic, even coming to a complete stop if necessary. When traffic resumes, the system smoothly accelerates the vehicle, minimizing driver effort and enhancing safety during long highway journeys.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection:
Mazda’s commitment to pedestrian safety is exemplified by the Advanced Smart City Brake Support system with Pedestrian Detection. This feature uses forward-facing sensors to detect pedestrians and potential collision risks, providing an audible and visual warning to the driver. If the driver doesn’t respond, the system automatically applies the brakes to mitigate or prevent a collision, reducing the severity of an impact or even avoiding it altogether.

Mazda Connect™ Safety Features:
Mazda Connect™, the infotainment system found in many Mazda models, includes safety features that promote distraction-free driving. These features include:

Voice Command: Drivers can control various functions, such as making phone calls or adjusting audio settings, using voice commands, keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Mazda Connect™ Display: The central display provides clear and concise information, reducing the need for the driver to divert attention away from the road.
