Episode 2
The Mazda3
is a fantastic vehicle that has been a staple in the Mazda franchise. Parkway Family Mazda has spent a
large amount of time studying and learning everything that they can about this
amazing car. There are many innovations that have taken place with this vehicle
and we are going to be continuing this series by reviewing some of those
innovations.
You
don’t necessarily expect safety innovations to improve the driving experience.
Unless you’re a performance-obsessed automaker like Mazda. For the Mazda3,
our engineers insisted on offering our full suite of i-ACTIVESENSE safety
innovations-a collection of advanced safety technologies unavailable in any
other car in its class. An active approach to safety, i-ACTIVESENSE is designed
to put you closely in tune with your surroundings based on the belief that by
making you more aware of road conditions, you’ll be better prepared to either
prevent an accident or lessen its severity.
-High Beam Control: High
Beam Control helps the driver see better at night by maximizing opportunities
to use the high beams. The system will automatically switch to the low beams
when it detects oncoming traffic and/or a vehicle ahead.
-Lane Departure
Warning System: This system gives audible and visual warnings when drivers
are about to unintentionally depart from their lane at a speed of 44 MPH or
higher.
-Six Standard Air
Bags: Advanced dual front air bags with driver’s seat-position and
passenger-weight sensors are standard on all Mazda3 models-as are dual front
side air bags and dual side-impact air curtains with coverage for both front
and rear passengers.
-Rear Cross Traffic
Alert: When backing out, this system detects a vehicle approaching from the
side and promptly alerts the driver with an audible warning, as well as a
visual warning in the driver’s-side mirror.
-Blind Spot Monitoring:
At speeds above 7 MPH, radar sensors detect objects in the left or right blind
spots. If the driver signals a lane change while an object is present, a light
in your corresponding side mirror blinks and a warning chime sounds.
-Smart City Brake
Support: When traveling at speeds between 2 and 18 MPH, this intuitive
system detects objects ahead and prepares the vehicle to stop by adjusting the
brake pads closer to the disc. If no driver action is taken, the system
automatically applies the brakes.
-Mazda Radar Cruise
Control: This system judges the relative speed and distance to the car
ahead, and works within a set speed range to maintain a safe following
distance, making Houston highway drives less strenuous.
-Forward Obstruction
Warning: This system detects slower or stopped vehicles in front of the
Mazda3 and gives an alert early enough for the driver to brake or take evasive
action, helping reduce the risk of a potential collision.
For our
Mazda engineers, creating a car that’s sporty, practical and fun to drive
simply wasn’t enough. They wanted to enliven the driving experience from the
moment you open the door. To create this new level of connectedness, the center
gauge lights up and pulsates like a heartbeat when you enter the cabin. And
when you use the push button to start the ignition, the side gauges also
illuminate, while the available Active Driving Display rises to greet you.
Everything about Mazda3’s cockpit is entirely new, exciting and alive- and
designed to evoke a feeling of connectedness.
-Dash Your
Inhibitions: A first of its kind for the Mazda3,
the available Active Driving Display helps you take your mind off distractions
by projecting critical driving information directly in front of you, right within
your line of sight. Strategically positioned directly in the driver’s field of
view and above the gauge cluster, this innovative display allows you to process
information faster by keeping your eyes focused toward one place- the road
ahead. Only our Mazda engineers could think of a way to use innovation to make
you feel more in control and relaxed.
-Looking Forward: Everything
in the Mazda3’s
cockpit is designed around a theoretical vanishing point that’s
forward-focused, helping you to keep your attention on the road ahead.
-Take Control: Conveniently
located on your steering wheel, paddle shifters (standard on s models) allow
you to upshift and downshift without taking your hands off the wheel or your
eyes off the road.
Then it
comes to safety and convenience, the 2014
Mazda3 is a prime example of ingenuity. Parkway Family Mazda has had a
lot of success with pleasing customers with the new vehicle. The vehicle is
ground breaking and is continuing to blow customers away that are taking these
cars for test drives. If you are interested and happen to be in the Humble,
Kingwood, Atascosita, and Houston area, feel free to drop by Parkway Family Mazda and
experience the 2014
Mazda3 for yourself. You can also visit us on Facebook here.
