SAFETY:
5-STAR FRONTAL - & SIDE-IMPACT RATINGS NHTSA‡
5-STAR CRASH SAFETY
At Mazda, safety is not a luxury, it's mandatory. The CX-9 boasts the most advanced safety features and a 5-Star crash-safety rating, the government's highest rating available.
- The Mazda CX-9 was awarded the highest possible rating in frontal- and side-impact crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)*
- CX-9's Crossover platform and wide stance help give it stable handling, while the combined efforts of Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)†, Traction Control System (TCS) and Roll Stability Control (RSC) make it one of the safest vehicles on the road
* Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov). Vehicle tested with standard side-impact air bags (SABs).
† Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is an electronic system to help the driver maintain control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether DSC will be effective in preventing loss of control. Please see the Owner's Manual for further details.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM
Like eyes in the back of your head, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System is an advanced warning system that alerts you when other vehicles are in your blind spot.
- Outside rearview mirrors display a warning light when vehicles enter detection area
- If the turn signal is activated while vehicles are in the detection area, a chime sounds to alert the driver
* Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over your shoulder before changing lanes. The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surrounding but is not a complete substitute. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings. The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about 20 mph (32 km/h).
