Safety
i-ACTIVSENSE technologies. Keeping you out in front
The Mazda3 employs amazing innovation to give you even more driving enjoyment. SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY unlocks added efficiency and performance in every vehicle aspect, with i-stop take fuel economy to new levels. Of course, safety is another area where Mazda3 is on the cutting edge. i-ACTIVSENSE is a suite of advanced technologies that assist you in recognising hazards, avoiding collisions and reducing the severity of accidents when they can't be avoided. From a reversing camera, stability controls and handsfree connectivity across the range to the i-ACTIVSENSE equipped to GSX, SP25 and SP25 Limited models, Mazda3 gives you heightened confidence in a wide range of driving conditions.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control
Uses radar to monitor the car ahead, and automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance. Reduces driver effort by managing the accelerator and brake pedals. Both can still be used at any time, and the system can be switched on and off as needed. SP25 Limited model only.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
By scanning external mirrors' blind spots, this system warns of any obscured vehicles to help you avoid making hazardous lane changes. LED icon on the relevant mirror is accompanied by warning beeper. GSX, SP25 and SP25 Limited models.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
RCTA assists you when you're reversing from a parking space, warning if a car is approaching from either side of your vehicle. LED icon on the relevant mirror is accompanied by warning beeper. GSX, SP25 and SP25 Limited models.
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) and Smart Brake Support (SBS)
By monitoring the distance to the vehicle in front and its speed, FOW senses if a collision is possible. It prompts you to take evasive action via a warning sound and visual alert. It also incorporates Smart Brake Support (SBS). If the system senses a high risk of impact, it applies initial pressure to the brakes to give you a faster response should you brake. If you take evasive action the system de-activates. If no evasive action is taken, the brakes are applied automatically. SP25 Limited only.
Advanced Smart City Brake Support - Forward/Reverse (ASCBS-F/R)
Helps prevent, or lessen, low-speed impacts. Now with pedestrian detection, ASCBS-F/R monitors the vehicle in front to assess the possibility of a collision at forward speeds of 4-80km/h. If the system detects a high risk of impact, it issues visual and audible warnings and primes the brakes for faster response should the driver brake. If the driver does not brake, the brakes are applied automatically. SCBS also works in reverse at speeds of 2-8km/h.
Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Driver Attention Alert (DAA) is also integrated. When speeds above 65km/h are sustained for longer periods, the system monitors driver inputs and provides a visual warning if it detects signs of fatigue. Also provides alert when 2 hours have elapsed. Limited models only.
Adaptive LED Headlamps (ALH)
Individual control of several LEDs allows precise adjustment of the lighting pattern. The system automatically broadens visibility at low speeds, shapes the high beam to help avoid dazzling oncoming drivers, and raises beam height at highway speeds to extend vision area. Limited models only.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane-Keep Assist System (LAS)
Using a windscreen-mounted camera to monitor road lane markings, LDW sounds an audible warning if you’re about to stray from your lane. LAS will act if it determines the vehicle is going to leave its lane, by applying a degree of corrective steering. Limited models only.
G-Vectoring Control
Mazda continuously strives to improve the connection between vehicle and driver, so that the vehicle responds faithfully to driver inputs as if it were an extension of the driver’s own body. We refer to this special connection as “Jinba Ittai”, which means “horse and rider as one”.
This ongoing pursuit has led to the development of G-Vectoring Control (GVC); a world-first Mazda technology that integrates the vehicle’s SKYACTIV engine and SKYACTIV chassis, to provide precise and natural vehicles dynamics.
GVC precisely adjusts engine torque, in response to steering inputs, to manage lateral and longitudinal G-forces in a unified and smooth manner, which optimises the vertical loading of each tyre.
The result is natural, precise handling in line with the driver’s intentions. There is less need for steering corrections and more comfort for every occupant.
