MAZDA CX-5 Safety Features

When you’re visiting friends in Chesapeake, going to a concert in Norfolk, or hitting the oceanfront strip in Virginia Beach, Virginia, you want to get around in a stylish and reliable ride.

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 offers a slew of safety features included in its i-Activsense® safety technology. This can help to make your drives fun and carefree. At Cavalier Mazda, we encourage you to get familiar with the safety tools this vehicle offers, then visit us to test them out in person.

Enhanced Awareness of Other Cars

When you’re behind the wheel, you’re the captain of your ship, and nothing can replace your own eyes, ears, and driving skill when it comes to staying alert on the road. However, a little help can go a long way in improving your reaction times to roadway hazards.

That’s why the Mazda CX-5 comes with a handy camera and radar detection to help you keep a watchful eye on the sometimes-hidden areas around your vehicle.

Your camera and radar will make it possible for tools like Blind Spot Monitoring to keep you safe. When your vehicle senses objects in your blind spot, it will give you an audible warning so you can steer clear of it.

This form of detection is also essential with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which will help you avoid collisions when you’re backing up.

Keeping You Alert

Besides keeping an eye out for other drivers, the Mazda CX-5 also has features that can sharpen your own performance while driving. This involves helping you avoid distractions so you can stay focused on your intended travel path.

Lane Departure Warning can provide an audible and visual display warning when it senses that you are veering out of your lane. It will know when you intend to stay in a particular lane based on whether you’ve engaged the turn signals.

Additionally, the Mazda CX-5 has Driver Attention Alert. This feature collects data about your steering, lane position, and throttle inputs. If it senses erratic movements or those indicating that you may be drowsy or distracted, it will give you a visual and audible warning.

Intervening on Your Behalf

Not only does the Mazda CX-5 help to keep you alert, it also can intervene with lightning speed when your reaction time can use some speeding up. This can come in real handy for those cyclists that seem to come out of nowhere or other drivers who switch lanes with no warning.

Lane-Keep Assist works in tandem with Lane Departure Warning. It can make small steering corrections for you to keep you in your lane if you start to drift.

Also, with Smart Braking System, Mazda’s automatic braking technology, you’ll get a warning if your vehicle detects a collision hazard. It can even initiate automatic engagement of the brakes to help prevent or minimize impact.
