Although beautiful to admire, your Mazda’s interior is also designed to keep your eyes on the road, which helps you to be more in control of your vehicle, and aware of your surroundings. To further that concept, Mazda offers an active driving display in select models.
Its designed to project key driving, navigation and safety information onto the windshield in full color, directly in your line of sight – so you never have to look away for the information you need while driving, which means every drive can be best experience possible.
The Active Driving Display starts by displaying key driving information like vehicle speed, and any current cruise control settings.

When following a route programmed into the vehicle’s navigation system, it will display the next turn by turn instructions. Note that when connected to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, turn by turn display will not be displayed in the Active Driving Display.

The Active Driving Display will also show warning indicators from various features of Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE safety system. It will show warnings for:
- Blind-spot Monitoring
- Radar Cruise Control + Stop & Go

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)
Mazda’s distance recognition support system recognizes objects within a 32 foot range and illuminates on the display. And when information is available, the traffic sign recognition feature will show posted speed limits for your current location – and stop signs and do not stop signs as you approach them.
