i-ACTIVSENSE® safety
This blanket term is used to cover many of Mazda's active and passive safety features. Available on all trim levels, i-ACTIVSENSE® features many modern innovations that aren't seen anywhere else. Radar and camera systems heighten the driver's awareness, so you will always know what's around you. Some features are designed to prevent accidents from ever happening, some are designed to limit the damage caused by a collision that does happen.
Adaptive Front Lighting System
Driving around corners at night can be tricky business. This available feature allows your vision to be maximized by way of pivoting headlights. Your Miata's headlamps can move up to fifteen degrees in the direction you are turning. No matter how sharp your turn is, these lights will guide you in the dark.
High Beam Control
As another perk that helps you see more at night, High Beam Control automatically switches from low beams to high beams. When oncoming traffic is detected, it will automatically turn your brights off so you don't unintentionally blind the other motorist. Boy, wouldn't it be nice if everyone had High Beam Control?

Lane Departure Warning
This system will give you audible and visual warnings when you are traveling 41 miles per hour or faster. It detects when you unintentionally drift from your lane. Think of it as an electronic rumble strip, just a lot less loud and scary.
Blind Spot Monitoring
This is where radar technology comes in. Blind Spot Monitoring comes standard and subtly alerts you when a vehicle approaches and enters your blind spot. You will hear a chime and see a small warning light on your corresponding side-view mirror.
