Mazda's Commitment to Your Safety
At Art Hill Mazda in Merrillville, we're proud to offer the 2025 Mazda lineup featuring the latest i-Activsense safety technologies. Mazda vehicles have earned top honors from both the IIHS and NHTSA, with the CX-5 achieving a perfect five-star safety rating. Whether you're navigating I-65 traffic or driving through Northwest Indiana's changing seasons, these advanced systems work together to help protect you and your passengers.
i-Activsense: Your Intelligent Safety Shield
Mazda's comprehensive safety suite uses radar, cameras and sensors to monitor your surroundings. Smart Brake Support can detect pedestrians and vehicles, automatically applying brakes if needed. Adaptive Front Lighting adjusts your headlights for better visibility on curves - perfect for country roads around Valparaiso or nighttime drives along Lake Michigan.
Local Benefit: Radar Cruise Control helps maintain safe distances on busy Northwest Indiana highways like I-80/94.
Advanced Driver Monitoring
Available on most 2025 models, this system uses infrared sensors to track your alertness. If it detects signs of fatigue during your commute to Chicago or long drives to Notre Dame, it provides visual and audible warnings. The system even suggests taking a break if it senses continued drowsiness.
Local Tip: Particularly helpful for shift workers at the nearby steel mills or healthcare professionals driving home after long hours.
Key 2025 Safety Technologies
1. Intersection Turn Assistance
Helps detect oncoming vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians when making turns at busy Merrillville intersections like Broadway & 61st Ave. Provides audible and visual alerts if potential hazards are detected.
2. Lane Keep Assist
Standard on all models, this system gently corrects steering if you begin to drift from your lane - especially helpful on long stretches of I-65 or during Northwest Indiana's harsh winter weather.
3. 360° View Monitor
Available on higher trims, this parking aid gives you a bird's-eye view of your surroundings - perfect for tight parking spots at the Southlake Mall or crowded events like the Lake County Fair.
4. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Warns you of approaching vehicles when backing out of spots at busy locations like the Merrillville Target or local school parking lots.
Built-In Protection: Skyactiv-Body Structure
Beyond advanced electronics, every 2025 Mazda features a rigid body structure designed to absorb and redirect crash energy away from occupants. High-strength steel forms a protective cage around the passenger compartment, while strategic crumple zones help manage impact forces - crucial protection for Northwest Indiana's mix of urban and rural driving environments.
Smart Emergency Features
The 2025 Mazda lineup includes automatic 911 dialing in the event of a serious collision - particularly valuable if you're driving alone on less-traveled roads near the Kankakee River or in rural Porter County. Available vehicle health monitoring can also alert you to potential maintenance needs before they become safety issues.
