Overcoming The Weather With Your Mazda
The weather is one of the most dangerous obstacles to safe driving, perhaps the single most important condition that controls your ability to drive safely. That's why Mazda created the "Ice Academy," to test out their i-Activ AWD system. They surmised that in order for the system to overcome the iciest and worst of weather conditions you might face on the road, the system needs to be able to do something nearly impossible: Predict the future. When you hit ice, the AWD system needs to transfer power to the back wheels, giving you a tighter grip on the road and greater ability to control the vehicle. Thankfully, i-Activ AWD passes the test with ease.
i-Activ Helps You Keep Your Grip On The Road
The i-Activ All-Wheel Drive system succeed in predicting the future by keeping constant "watch" on road conditions. When the vehicle senses that you're on ice or other adverse road conditions, the power is transferred to the back wheels, leaving you safer and more able to control the vehicle as you work through the bad weather. Testing for the system reports the good news. Mazda vehicles applying this AWD system absolutely pass the Ice Academy test and keep your vehicle as safe as it can be on even the roughest of weather conditions.
To make this possible, designers used "sensors" that are located in the vehicle for a number of systems to be able to predict road conditions and how the vehicle can best maintain the AWD system to keep you safe. Tapping into that rich source of information, your i-ACTIV AWD system is a revolutionary system that is going to increase your traction on the road and keep you grounded even in the iciest of weather conditions. For folks who live in cold weather climate, owning a Mazda vehicle with i-ACTIV can be the difference between life and death out there on those rugged roads.
