Today’s Mazda vehicles have over a dozen car safety features to make all your journeys more secure. Some are subtle features you’ll barely notice, and others have several functions that will make your life easier when you get behind the wheel. We’re going to go over some of the top features you’ll find in today’s vehicles at your local Mazda dealer.

7 Car Safety Features You’ll Find in Today’s Mazda Vehicles From Your Mazda Dealer

1. Radar Cruise Control

With Radar Cruise Control, staying safe in your vehicle becomes simple. Set your desired speed, then select the distance you want between you and the car in front of you. The cruise control feature will kick in and work its magic. It’ll keep you as close to your desired speed as possible, but it’ll slow you down and speed you up based on the actions of the car ahead. It’ll also make sure to adhere to the distance you set, so you’ll have wonderful peace of mind.

2. Adaptive Front Lighting System

Your headlights are no longer just big bulbs that illuminate the road directly ahead of you. The AFS in modern Mazda vehicles provides superior nighttime visibility, and it moves the direction of the light by 15 degrees when you’re turning a corner, ensuring road visibility throughout.

3. Smart Brake Support

If you’re driving above 10 miles per hour, then SBS can kick into gear in the case of a collision. It helps reduce the impact of a collision when one occurs. However, it also helps you avoid collisions by alerting you to hit the brakes when a collision is likely to occur.

4. Rear Cross Traffic Alert

It can be tricky to get out of a parking spot, as vehicles can come from the left or right directly behind your vehicle. However, this safety feature will let you know if there’s a vehicle approaching from the side at the back of your vehicle. This makes it easier and safer to reverse out of a parking spot, and it can also help you determine when something is in your blind spot while you’re reversing.

5. Lane Departure Warning

Sometimes the weather, tiredness, or distractions will make you drift towards the edge of your lane unintentionally. Lane departure warning will let you know when this is happening, so you can drive back into the center of your lane without worrying.

6. High Beam Control System

This system lets your vehicle detect whether or not you need your high or low beams when you switch on the headlights. This is fantastic for nighttime driving, as it can sometimes be difficult to know which you should pick. You’ll keep yourself and other motorists safe if you choose a vehicle with this system.

7. Obstruction Warning

If there’s something ahead of you, then your Mazda’s Forward Obstruction Warning feature will tell you that you should brake, turn, or do anything else you need to do to prevent a collision. This feature is like a second pair of eyes looking out for you on the road.

If these are the features you want in your next vehicle, then you need to swing by Rochester Mazda to take one of our Mazdas out for a test drive. You won’t regret it, and you’ll love using the features above.
