  • Notifications sent to the Mazda CX-6e app
  • Automatic climate control activation if required

This system is designed to support safety and awareness.

 

 

Intelligent travel planning

The navigation system supports electric driving by helping plan routes based on battery level.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What driver assistance and safety features does the Mazda CX-6e have?

The CX-6e includes standard and adaptive cruise control with Intelligent Cruise Assist, Smart Brake Support, an in-life vehicle detection system, and intelligent EV route planning that suggests charging stops based on battery level. All features are designed to support the driver — not replace driver attention.

How do I turn on adaptive cruise control in my Mazda CX-6e?

Push the column selector handle down once to activate standard cruise control. Push it down a second time to switch to adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. Use the steering wheel controls to set your speed and preferred following distance. To cancel, push the handle up or press the brake pedal.

What is Smart Brake Support on the Mazda CX-6e and when does it activate?

Smart Brake Support is a collision-mitigation feature that can automatically apply the brakes if the system detects a risk of collision and the driver has not responded in time. The system can be switched off if needed — its status is shown via an indicator light on the instrument cluster.

What is the in-life vehicle detection system in the Mazda CX-6e?

In-life vehicle detection is a cabin monitoring system that identifies movement inside the vehicle after it has been locked. If movement is detected, the system responds with audible alerts and hazard lights, sends a notification to the Mazda CX-6e app, and can activate climate control to help regulate cabin temperature. The system is designed to support awareness and is not a substitute for checking the vehicle before leaving it.

How does the Mazda CX-6e help plan longer journeys?

The CX-6e's navigation system is built specifically for electric driving. You can set a preferred minimum battery level for arrival, and the system will suggest charging stops along your route where needed. Route guidance updates automatically as driving conditions change, and nearby charging stations can be filtered by charging speed, connector type and availability.
