Driving should not just be safe; it should also be fun and enjoyable. Taking into account the safety and fun aspects of driving Mazda has created a driving environment that connects the driver and the car. The accelerator, driving pedal, and steering wheel are positioned in a way that feels natural. Every model is designed to ensure the driving philosophy, “Jinba Ittai”, defined as “the horse and rider becoming one”, is followed.

It is easier for the car to adapt to the driver’s position than the other way round. If the driver adjusts to the car’s positions it puts a lot of stress on the body. This stress then increases the chances of making mistakes while driving. Following these simple rules will make your driving experience a pleasure like no other.

  1. Seating position: By creating an ideal driving position, unnecessary tension is avoided leading to better reflexes. This can be done by resting your back against the seat such that you are deeply and comfortably seated.
  2. Line of sight: A clear, comfortable line of sight allows the driver to focus on the road and change it depending on the circumstances. Irrespective of the height and weight, you can find a position that makes driving easy and keeps your eye-point within the Eye-line Zone.
  3. Foot placement: Mazda has placed vehicle-control devices in locations that make driving simple. Place your left foot on the foot rest and the right heel on a space between the accelerator and the brake pedal. The ball of your right foot should touch the accelerator pedal, finishing off the perfect driving position.
