| CRAFTSMANSHIP |
 |
Mazda's first-class quality and craftsmanship are evident everywhere you look. Gaps between body panels are narrow and consistent.
Even the seam on the airbag cover is eliminated for a neater appearance. It's all part of "customer delight", a uniquely Mazda approach to delivering satisfaction to every drive you take.

| ILLUMINATION |
 |
The sporty meter cluster features white meters with amber-red backlighting, augmented by indirect blue lighting for increased readability at dusk. And the sports-oriented R grade receives special blackout-type meters with the same amber-red/indirect blue illumination.
|
| SIMPLE & CLEAN DOOR OPENING |
 |
The doors are engineered for easy opening and closing with a solidly satisfying sound and feel. Virtual simulations allowed simplification of door opening surfaces from before prototype construction, to achieve a cleaner and neater appearance.

| ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) |
 |
The functions of the 4W-Anti-Lock Braking system further increase the driver’s control over the car in a way that minimizes the risk of skidding and spinning.
|
| ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD) |
 |
EBD allocates braking force according to load: with a full complement of passengers or when heavily laden with luggage, EBD boosts brake force to the rear wheels to maintain Mazda3's short stopping distance.
|
| AUTO LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM |
 |
Intelligent Auto Light System assures better visibility for easier driving. The system uses both forward- and upward-facing sensors to monitor ambient light to automatically switch on the lights when necessary – such as entering a tunnel.
|
| IMPACT-ABSORBING BODY STRUCTURE |
 |
Mazda Advanced Impact Distribution and Absorption System built around a unique triple-H structure resists deformation and efficiently disperses impact energy away from the cabin.
|
| SRS FRONT DUAL AIRBAGS |
 |
Front airbags deploy to maximize passenger protection and minimize the risk of airbag-inflicted injuries.
|
| PRETENSIONER & LOAD LIMITER |
 |
Front seatbelts feature a pretensioner to instantaneously tighten the belt in a collision and hold the occupant firmly in place. After pretensioner operation, a load limiter loosens the seatbelt in a controlled manner to prevent excessive pressure on the wearer’s chest.
|
| CRASHABLE BREAK PEDAL, COLLAPSIBLE STEERING COLUMN |
|
Crashable brake pedal features a structure to retract the pedal away from the driver's foot in a frontal collision to lower the risk of pedal-inflicted foot and leg injuries. Mazda3's steering column collapses horizontally to minimize impact on the driver's head and chest.
