Active Driving Display and How It Works

19

The Active Driving Display is one of Mazda’s innovative and safe technologies which are designed to help drivers focus on the road while providing relevant driving information. The information is delivered right within the line of sight.

The information provided by the Active Driving Display includes vehicle speed, distance, cruise control, lane guidance, smart city brake support, and lane departure warnings. Real-time information is provided by the system and is displayed on a transparent screen which does not hinder your vision while driving. By using the car’s touch screen or multimedia knob you can control and adjust the settings of the Active Driving Display system.

To operate the system, select “Settings” on the home screen and go to the “AD-Disp” tab. Once there, you can change settings such as:

  • Height: This is the display height which can be set in such a way to provide information in your line of sight.
  • Brightness Control: You can choose to set the brightness automatically or manually.
  • Brightness: This controls the level of brightness.
  • Navigation: You can ensure navigation is displayed on the screen by checking this option.
  • Active Driving Display: You can activate or deactivate the system by checking or unchecking this option.
  • This option will return all options back to their default values.

The system, in order to avoid confusion, displays only three items at a time. It prioritizes the information and puts the most important one at the top. Since the information is projected at about 1.5 meters in front of the driver, there is minimal eye movement from the display to the road ensuring a safe drive.

Audio Controls and Getting to Know Them

2017-hyundai-sport-int-24-rearview-camera

Mazda is an amazing car brand whose design and performance are second to none. Mazdas are equipped with a Bose sound system to give your ears the best audio experience possible. With the infotainment dashboard, you are able to personalize and program the system to suit your ears.

To customize your audio, select the “Settings” option on your home or entertainment screen. Once there, choose the “Sound” tab to adjust the audio. The multitude of options on the screen allow you to control the audio. You can enhance or reduce the Bass and Treble, adjust the front and rear speaker volume through Fade, balance the side-to-side bass via Balance, and use Beep to turn the operation sounds off or on.

There are 3 additional functions which enhance your audio experience:

  1. Automatic Level Control (ALC). Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the ALC adjusts the volume of the speakers. If the vehicle speeds up, volume increases; if it slows, volume decreases.
  2. This technology compensates for white noise and vehicle speed.
  3. It converts stereo signals to produce a higher precision audio from MP3s and radio and provides a surround sound experience within the vehicle.

If you prefer listening to the radio, then select “Auto Memory” and program up to 10 channels of your choice using the “Update Station List” option. Some models are equipped with HD radio where you can enjoy crystal clear sound along with additional station options. You can also pop in a CD of your choice and listen to the music you prefer while enjoying a ride across town.

Trims and Options Available for the Mazda6

TRIM

The Mazda6 is a 5-seater available in 3 trim levels – Touring, Grand Touring, and Sport.

Sport is the basic trim which includes standard features such as the LED lighting, cruise control, 17-inch alloy wheels, adjustable seating, integrated connectivity, and a 6-speaker sound system. The manual transmission trim consists of these options. When you opt for the automatic transmission Sport, you get a rearview camera, a 7.0-inch touchscreen display, and voice-enabled controls.

Next in line is the Touring trim whose most glaring feature are the 19-inch wheels. The manual transmission includes the same features as the Sport with a lot of additional upgrades; a keyless ignition, rear cross traffic alerts, leatherette upholstery, climate control, blind spot monitoring, and a sliding console in the armrest to name a few. Optionally, for the automatic transmission you have a sunroof, satellite radio, and a Bose audio system equipped with 11 speakers. In case you want the Touring Technology Package, you are required to have these specs. The package adds a number of upgrades to make the car stand out in style. Automatic wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, heated mirrors and seats, and an automatic braking system are packed into the automobile.

The Grand Touring is all this and much more. The wheels are of the same diameter but are styled differently compared to the Touring. LED fog lights, a navigation system, and driver memory settings are a few of its many technological pros. You also have the GT Technology package which includes many of Mazda’s iACTIVSENSE technologies for better safety. Its most appealing feature is the regenerative energy i-ELOOP system which can be used to power its electrical components as well as economize on fuel.

Tech Features of the Mazda6

TECH

The Mazda6 is one of the most technically-rich sedans on the road. This is evident from the numerous details added to every aspect of the automobile. Mazda’s in-house SKYACTIV technology is equipped in the car to make the 6 the best in efficiency and performance. As you dwell deeper into the Mazda’s core, the technology becomes more and more advanced.

The primary power source of the Mazda is its 2.4 liter four-cylinder gasoline engine which also revs up the Mazda quickly and quietly. Its automatic transmission combines the conveniences of both the automatic and manual to give you a smooth yet crisp drive.

If the outside of the Mazda6 is style, then the inside is substance. The Mazda6 weighs 3,200 pounds which make it quite light for a mid-size sedan. This allows it to be easily maneuvered around sharp turns and corners. The weight is balanced by its rigidity, which is 30 percent stronger than the previous models. It is this rigidity which has ensured the automobile passes safety performance tests with top rankings.

The chassis is what holds everything together. It is the mediator between the driver and the car. Equipped with a Traction Control System and Dynamic Stability Control, the driver is able to control the vehicle under severe road conditions. When you turn corners, the body roll is minimized due to the presence of stabilizer bars with the rear suspension giving a solid grip and stability. The MacPherson strut front suspension is all about comfort when driving on any kind of terrain. It communicates between the driver and the road to ensure the drive is as smooth as possible.
