The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is Equipped with Innovative i-Activsense Technology

Not only is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 an accessibly upscale and vibrant crossover SUV for exciting mid-Michigan driving, but it also comes equipped with a variety of welcome driver-assistance features. Known as the i-Activsense suite of technology, the family cruiser offers a wide range of active protection and complementary monitoring systems to make traversing busy city traffic around the Great Lakes Bay Region even easier. Thelen Mazda in Bay City, MI, is here to  go in-depth about what innovative features are found in the i-Activsense array of systems so you are better informed about the vehicle you are looking to purchase. 

i-Activsense Features That Go Beyond Standard Driver-Assistance Systems

Adaptive Front Lighting & Adaptive LED Headlights –

When traveling around Michigan at night, you need to have confidence you have as much information about what is going on in front of you as possible. This is where the combination of Adaptive Front Lighting with Adaptive LED Headlights enters their own. Adaptive Front Lighting will automatically turn the headlights in the direction that you are steering so you maintain proper illumination. The LED headlights feature special glare-free technology to prevent the potential of blinding drivers approaching from the opposite direction. 

Mazda Radar Cruise Control –

Using a dedicated millimeter-wave radar system, the CX-5 will continually monitor the traffic in front of the vehicle while the Cruise Control system is engaged. If it detects a need to slow down, the family cruiser will do so quickly to stay within a specific range behind the vehicle in front of it. As a result, this is a high-end version of Adaptive Cruise Control that you’ll appreciate having on the highway.

Driver Attention Alert – 

Driving when exhausted can be a dangerous task. This is where having the Driver Attention Alert system is a fantastic addition to the suite of systems. Once the vehicle is moving beyond a certain MPH threshold, the system will actively start to learn and monitor the driving habits you have. If the system detects a significant deviation from your normal habits and therefore a lack of focus being placed on the road, the Mazda will issue an alert to warn you that you should take a break or refocus on the road.
