What are the i-Activsense® Safety Features?

Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS)

• Traversing the backroads at night can be uncomfortable for even the most seasoned drivers. AFS works to bend your headlights around corners and curves to help you feel prepared for the road ahead.

High-Beam Control (HBC)

• Flicking on your high beams is a wise habit when traveling through dark conditions. However, there’s always the fear of impairing the vision of other drivers on the road. With HBC, that fear is a thing of the past! This system uses advanced cameras to detect when you’re encountering traffic and will switch to your low beams automatically!

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)

• Mazda Radar Cruise Control is an advanced system that relies on sonar technology to determine the distance between the front of your vehicle and the back of the vehicle in front of you. The system will manage your speed through automatic braking and acceleration to ensure that you maintain a proper distance from the cars ahead. This system is aided by the Distance Recognition Support System, which offers exact information on the distance between your vehicle and the next.

Rear Vehicle Monitoring System (RVM)

• This is another system that incorporates radar technology. RVM uses radar to detect the distance between vehicles approaching from behind and your own Mazda. Not only does this system help improve your awareness of your surroundings, but it will also offer audiovisual warnings if the system detects adjacent oncoming traffic when changing lanes.

Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

• This system functions much like the Mazda Lane Keep Assist to keep you safe in Antioch. LDWS uses a cutting-edge camera system to monitor lane markers and detect when your vehicle is drifting from one lane to the next. Your vehicle will send you a warning message when this occurs, however, it will not offer a prompt if you drift with your turn signal activated.

Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW)

• FOW uses radar to detect when there are vehicles or other obstructions in your lane ahead. If the system determines that you’re approaching the obstruction too quickly, audio and visual cues to brake will be triggered.

Smart City Brake Support

• This system is able to depress the brakes when you’re driving at slow city speeds in order to avoid a collision or to mitigate the damage of a head-on collision.

Acceleration Control for AT

• If you accelerate too aggressively while this system’s laser sensors detect an obstruction, your automatic transmission Mazda will send a warning to stop and curbs acceleration.
