Examples of MAZDA Safety Features

Cruising & Traffic Support

This feature combines adaptive cruise control, which maintains a driver-set distance from the vehicle ahead, with lane-centering assistance, which makes automatic adjustments to keep your Mazda car centered in its lane. Cruising & Traffic Support works in any scenario, from stop-and-go traffic to highway speeds.

360-Degree View Monitor

Here's another great technology to get acquainted with at our South Bend, IN Mazda dealership. Working in conjunction with your vehicle's center touchscreen display, the 360-Degree View Monitor shows you what's in front of, behind, and on either side of your vehicle. An indispensable support, especially in crowded parking lots.

Smart Brake Support

This sub-suite of safety features is available on select models such as the Mazda CX-90, including systems such as Smart Brake Support - Front Crossing and Smart Brake Support - Turn-Across Traffic. The former alerts you to potential collisions with vehicles crossing your path when you're at an intersection. The latter does the same with regard to oncoming vehicles when you're making a left turn at an intersection; in both cases, the brakes can be automatically deployed if a potential collision is detected.
