How New MAZDA Vehicles Prevent Distracted Driving

Mazda safety features are designed for real-world driving conditions. With distracted driving on the rise, these features help to both reduce the risk in your vehicle and protect against distracted driving from others on the road.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

It’s all too easy to get distracted when pulling out of a parking spot or your driveway. With Mazda’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert, you’ll have an extra set of eyes when you need it most. The system will detect when there is another vehicle approaching while you reverse, and will issue visuals and auditory cues to warn you before there is a collision.

Hands-Off Commands

One of the most common causes for distracted driving is phone use, like calling, texting, and scrolling social media. In new Mazda vehicles, you’ll find voice-activated command options to reduce the amount of time you spend looking at your phone. They include Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio streaming capability and Alexa Built-In™.

Driver Attention Alert

Drowsy driving is another risky behavior behind the wheel. Not only does it reduce your focus and reflexes on the road, but it can also increase the likelihood of distractions. The Driver Attention Alert system in new Mazda vehicles detects when drivers start to show signs of fatigue and signals that it’s time to take a driving break.
