Weather and road conditions can change in the blink of an eye. One minute it might be a sunny afternoon, the next, you’re dealing with a pop-up mid-summer thunderstorm. Wouldn’t it be nice if you were prepared for what was next?
The available i-Activ AWD® predicts when you’ll need all-wheel drive capability. It monitors outside temperature, throttle input, steering, and even windshield wiper usage to get a better idea of what the current road situation is.
Power will then be sent to the wheels preemptively, ensuring you’re able to maintain traction on the roads. Best of all, this happens without you feeling any changes as you drive. The end result? Better traction for you and peace of mind on every trip.
The suite of standard i-Activsense® safety features and technologies lets you know of potential hazards. This technology can help you avoid a crash or lessen the impact of one. Being a focused and engaged driver goes a long way, but sometimes even that is not enough. These safety features are meant to promote confidence.
Here’s what you’ll find as part of this standard safety package:
Blind Spot Monitoring: This detects objects in your blind spots and lets you know with a chime and warning light in the side mirror. If a vehicle is fast approaching and is entering your blind spot, you’ll know that too.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert: It always helps to have an extra set of eyes. When you’re backing up, this feature detects if another car is approaching from the side.
It doesn’t end with the features mentioned above. As a matter of fact, there are many more 2020 Mazda CX-5 safety features worth mentioning. Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Day and Night-time Pedestrian Detection is one of them. This helps detect whether there’s a car or pedestrian in your path. If a collision is sensed, you’ll get a warning, and if needed, the brakes will automatically apply.
How about the Lane Departure Warning System? When you’re traveling 37 MPH or faster, the Lane Departure Warning System lets you know if you’re about to unintentionally leave the lane you’re currently in.
Other safety features include Lane-keep Assist, Adaptive Front-Lighting System, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go functionality. Use all these features to your advantage as you take to the roads.
Now that you know all about the safety features you’ll have access to as you travel in Gastonia, Charlotte, and Lincolnton, North Carolina, you’re probably ready to take a test drive of the 2020 Mazda CX-5.
