Great Safety Features You Can Find on 2024 Mazda Models

Systems like airbags, LATCH systems, and seat belts help reduce harm from an accident, but the best accident is the one that never happens. Your Mazda contains an advanced suite of safety systems called i-ACTIVSENSE. These Mazda safety features warn of potential accidents and can actively intervene to keep you and your passengers safe. We will dive in and look at how some of these systems work. Great Mazda Safety Features You'll Find on 2024 Models Forward Collision Warning (FCW) FCW uses radar and/or a camera to watch the road ahead for other vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, the system compares the distance to the vehicle to your speed to determine if a collision is possible. It provides visual and audio warnings if you're closing too fast. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) This system works together with FCW to protect you. Some drivers can freeze if an accident seems inevitable, and others might not react fast enough. AEB will automatically engage if you've been warned of an accident and haven't reacted yet. It can gradually slow your Mazda or stop it almost instantly., depending on the situation. Pedestrian Detection This system is similar to FCW, but it is more finely tuned to detect smaller objects like pedestrians, cyclists, and animals. It instantly warns you if an accident risk exists. Some versions of this system will apply emergency braking to bring your vehicle to an instant stop to prevent a collision. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) Reversing can often feel risky, as it's not always easy to spot vehicles crossing behind you. RCTA uses sensors to monitor the areas behind your Mazda for vehicles crossing in either direction. It provides audio and visual warnings if a vehicle is detected so you can brake or take other evasive action to prevent a collision. Adaptive Headlights Regular headlights shine straight ahead, making them less useful at lighting your way if driving on a curved road. Your Mazda's adaptive headlights use cameras and sensors to identify curves and bends in the road, then adjust their angles to illuminate the area in front of you. They can also adjust between high and low beams as required. Driver Monitoring System This system is available on most Mazda models and helps protect you against drowsiness. Infra-red sensors and an interior camera monitor your eye movements, head angle, and other physical cues to determine if you're falling asleep. If it identifies you're tired, you'll hear an audio alert and a warning appears on your screen to advise you to pull over and rest. These are just a few examples of the advanced technology that will keep you safe behind the wheel. If you'd like to know more, contact us today at Brown & Wood Mazda in Greenville, NC.

The Ultimate Service Checklist for Maintaining Your New Mazda

Maintaining your new Mazda will keep it running right, preserve the long-term value, and get you the longest lifespan from your Mazda as possible. Your Mazda dealership can make sure everything on your service checklist is taken care of at the right time. The Ultimate Service Checklist at Your Mazda Dealership Routine Oil Changes Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine, reduces friction and heat, and cleans the engine while protecting it from rust. Over time, oil gets contaminated with dirt and debris, so follow your Mazda's recommended service schedule for this. It's usually between 5,000 and 10,000 miles, depending on oil, model, age, and how you drive. Tire Care and Maintenance Regularly check the tire pressure and keep the tires at the levels indicated in your owner's manual. If you have any issues keeping the tires properly inflated, come see us. Also, see to have your tires rotated and balanced every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even tread wear and prolong their life: typically you just get this done when you get an oil change. Brake System Inspection Listen for any unusual noises when applying the brakes, such as squealing or grinding, which may indicate you've got worn brake pads or rotors. Have the brake system checked during routine service appointments to ensure everything is functioning like it should and to avoid any unwanted surprises. Transmission Maintenance Depending on your model and driving habits, transmission service may be recommended every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Consult your owner's manual or talk with one of our certified Mazda technicians to get a better idea of what's right for your vehicle. We'll make sure the fluid is fresh and doing its job and that none of the components are overly worn. Battery Maintenance Once in a while, take a look at your battery terminals for corrosion and to see if it looks like the connectors are good and tight. If you notice signs of a weak battery, such as dimming headlights or slow engine crank, bring it to us to have it tested and replaced, if necessary. Typically, car batteries last between three and five years. Air Filter Replacement Air filters prevent dust, pollen, and other contaminants from entering the engine and cabin. A clean engine air filter gets you better fuel efficiency and performance, while a fresh cabin air filter enhances the quality of the air inside your vehicle. Spark Plug and Ignition System Care Spark plugs ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine's combustion chambers, and worn or dirty spark plugs can lead to poor fuel economy, engine misfires, and reduced performance. Regular inspection and replacement about every 30,000 miles or as specified in your owner's manual help maintain engine efficiency. There's more that goes into the comprehensive services offered at your dealership, and we can do it all. Schedule service with Brown & Wood Mazda in Greenville, NC today and keep your Mazda pristine.

The Ultimate Guide to Mazda Scheduled Maintenance: What You Need to Know

Mazda maintenance helps keep your vehicle in great shape. As time passes, components and systems will wear out or become damaged. As your Mazda dealer, we're here to help. Our technicians can fix any problem, and they provide expert maintenance that prevents many future repairs. These are a few examples of the types of maintenance we offer. Examples of Mazda Maintenance Available at Your Mazda Dealer Starter Repairs The starter's job is to crank your engine. This action starts the combustion process, and your engine should come to life in seconds. The starter is powered by a strong electrical charge sent to it by the battery when you push the start button. The starter will weaken as it ages, and this will delay starting as the engine slowly cranks. A starter can also be affected by damaged wiring restricting its electricity supply or by a failed starter solenoid. The solenoid receives the electrical charge and passes it to the starter. If your battery is in good condition but you're experiencing starting problems, our technicians will check the starter. We can repair damaged wiring or replace a damaged solenoid or the starter, depending on the problem. Oil Leaks Your engine depends on the continual flow of oil to work efficiently. Oil lubricates countless engine components to protect them against friction damage and cools them as oil moves through the engine. Additives in the oil break down engine deposits that could cause blockages and protect the engine against rust. An oil leak is serious, as a lack of oil can rapidly cause engine damage as components will grind against each other. An external oil leak is usually easy to spot, as the oil varies from gold to black, depending on its age. Oil can also leak internally from a damaged seal, and oil leaking into the exhaust will produce blue exhaust smoke. We'll trace and repair the leak, then refill your engine with high-quality oil. Wiper Replacement Wiper blades are easy to forget about until you need them when it's raining. The blades are made from rubber to provide strength and flexibility. This allows them to easily clear rain, mud, or snow. Unfortunately, time and exposure to the sun's UV rays gradually cause the rubber to lose flexibility. Inflexible blades can crack, and cracked blades can scratch the windshield. We'll examine the blades and can replace them in minutes. We can also check and fix any blade or blade assembly issues. Once your blades are working correctly, you can drive with confidence as the blades will keep your windshield clear regardless of the weather. To book your next maintenance or learn more about our other services, contact us today at Brown & Wood Mazda in Greenville, NC.

Maintenance Checks Greenville, NC

Preparing Your Mazda for Essential Maintenance Checks

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Regular Mazda maintenance keeps your vehicle working efficiently and reduces repair costs by fixing minor issues before they turn into major problems. Maintenance also extends your vehicle's life. We want to tell you about some of the types of maintenance we provide to keep your Mazda in great shape. Examples of Mazda Maintenance Available at Your Mazda Dealer Headlight Repair We all depend on headlights to light up the road ahead. Bulbs will wear out in time and will need replacement. A bulb's lifespan varies dramatically from 500 hours to 30,000 hours, depending on the bulb type. They can also wear out faster due to problems in the electrical system, worn wiring, or water leaking into the headlight recess. Driving with a burnt-out bulb could get you a citation and restrict your ability to safely see at night. We can replace your bulbs and upgrade them to longer-life bulbs if you require them. We can also repair any issues like damaged wiring or electrical faults, and your headlights will work perfectly again. Rectifier Replacement The rectifier is a tiny component inside the alternator that converts AC to DC. Your alternator spins at high speed to produce electricity for your vehicle's systems. This produces magnetic energy, which is captured and converted to AC by the stator. Your vehicle systems can only work on DC, and a failed rectifier will rapidly shut down your electrical system. The alternator continues to produce AC, but the systems will switch to drawing DC from the battery. This will rapidly deplete the battery's stored energy, and your car will come to a halt. A battery can only sustain your vehicle's systems for approximately 40 minutes, possibly less, depending on the number of active systems. Our technicians will replace the rectifier, and your alternator will again supply usable electricity. Engine Diagnostic An engine diagnostic is a simple, fast way to diagnose issues in your car so they can be repaired. Since the 1980s, vehicles have had computers installed to reduce the amount of work a driver has to do. They automate many vehicle processes, allowing you to focus on your driving. Sensors are connected to every vehicle component to supply information, so the computer can make decisions. The sensors also inform the computer of any problems with their connected component. The computer logs any issues with an error code and will illuminate the relevant warning light on your dash. We use a diagnostic scanner to read these codes, enabling our technicians to quickly identify the problem. A major benefit of a diagnostic is reduced repair costs due to the time saved in finding the problem. Contact our service department today at Brown & Wood Mazda in Greenville, NC.
