AFS (Adaptive Front-Lighting System) ____________________

One of the most important factors the most important factor in mitigating driver fatigue and increasing safety during night driving is providing a well-illuminated field of view. The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) optimizes distribution of light from the headlights according to driving circumstances. Depending on vehicle speed and steering input, the system points the low-beams headlights in the direction the driver intends to travel. 

In combination with discharge headlights, the system illuminates a greater distance and more brightly compared to halogen headlights, improving the driver's field of vision and visibility around curves and at intersections during night driving. Mated with the auto-leveling function, the system offers a stable distribution of light unaffected by the vehicle's position. Maintaining the illumination axis, the system helps to prevent drivers of oncoming vehicles from getting blinded when many people or a\ lot of luggage weighs down the back of the car, or when the vehicle position changes going over a bump or driving up a slop 

* AFS is designed to reduce the risk of accidents by providing a well-illuminated field of view. However the system has its limitations, and no safety system or combination of such systems can prevent all accidents. These systems are not a replacement for safe and attentive driving. Please drive carefully at all times and do not rely on technology to prevent an accident. Not all of these systems are available on all models or in all markets, so please contact your local Mazda dealer for details on availability. Please refer to your owners' manual for additional important system details, limitations and warnings.     

Emergency Signal System (ESS) _________________________________

Emergency Signal System (ESS) causes the hazard lights to flash at high speed if the driver suddenly brakes when traveling at high speed.

This helps prevent collisions by warning following vehicles that the car is braking hard. If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the hazard lights swtich to a normal flashing speed to help prevent rear-end collisions.

*ESS is designed to reduce the risk of accidents by warning following vehicles that the car is braking hard. However the system has its limitations, and no safety system or combination of such systems can prevent all accidents. These systems are not a replacement for safe and attentive driving.
