Mazda SKYACTIV technology is a range of design innovations that increase performance and fuel efficiency while also protecting you and your passengers in the event of an accident. We're going to dive in and take a closer look at how some of this technology works. Mazda SKYACTIV Technology: Improving Performance, Efficiency, and Safety SKYACTIV-X Engine Gasoline engines use a mixture of fuel and air, which is compressed and then ignited to produce combustion. Diesel engines also mix fuel with air, but since diesel is denser than gasoline, they require less fuel in the combustion mixture, which makes them more fuel-efficient. Their mixture, however, produces more dangerous chemicals and byproducts, which need to be converted to reduce pollution. SKYACTIV-X engines use an innovative technology called Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SCCI). They're gasoline-powered but use less fuel in their fuel-air mixture. The mixture is more tightly compressed than in a regular engine, and only part of the mixture is ignited by the spark plugs, generating greater heat, which ignites the remainder of the fuel-air mixture. This allows them to deliver increased performance and save you money at the pump. more SKYACTIV Construction Vehicle design has always been a trade-off between weight and fuel economy to produce a durable body that can protect you and your passengers from harm. The more reinforcement added to increase protection, the greater the weight and the more fuel used to move this weight. SKYACTIV vehicle construction eliminates this trade-off by increasing both protection and fuel efficiency. The key to this is the use of high- and ultra-high-tensile steel in the body construction and reinforcement. This steel is extremely strong, which means that less of it needs to be used to provide reinforcement, and this greatly reduces vehicle weight. In addition, Mazda bodies have been precisely shaped to dissipate the energy produced by a collision and channel it away from the cabin to protect you. SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS This innovative technology improves vehicle performance and control by adjusting its balance as you drive. It uses a system called G-Vectoring Control (GVC) to adjust engine torque as needed. The system relies on a network of sensors that continually relay information to the computer. When you begin to corner, for example, sensors identify this movement and increase torque on the outer wheels to supply better traction, while shifting vehicle weight forward by reducing speed. As you exit a curve, in contrast, engine power increases, and this shifts the weight away from the front to allow smoother acceleration. At the same time, the torque is adjusted again to improve stability. If you'd like to know more about SKYACTIV and how it enhances your time behind the wheel, contact us at Bommarito Mazda South in St. Louis, MO.

There are many benefits of owning a Mazda vehicle: they're luxurious, capable, comfortable, and safe. One of the convenient tech features you'll enjoy with the purchase or lease of any newer model is Mazda Connected Services, a set of features you can access via the MyMazda app on your smartphone. Exploring Mazda Connected Services: Stay Connected with Your Vehicle Remote Engine Start With the remote engine start feature, you'll never have to go through the discomfort of sitting in a car that's too hot or too cold while you wait for the temperature to adjust again. Simply start the engine from the comfort of your home or office with the MyMazda app, and the cabin will return to the last temperature you set before you get inside. If an unexpected delay sets back your departure, you can also remotely stop your engine. more Remote Lock and Unlock You'll also never have to worry about whether you remembered to lock your vehicle again, thanks to the remote lock and unlock feature, which lets you secure your Mazda remotely. If you've already left your vehicle and your child or anyone else realizes they've forgotten something inside, you can also use the app to remotely unlock the doors without handing off the key fob. This feature is also helpful if you need someone to drop something off inside your vehicle. Vehicle Finder As long as you have the MyMazda app installed on your phone, there's no need to panic if you forget to write down the location of your vehicle in a large parking lot or garage. The app pins the location of your parked vehicle and shows you the exact spot on a map, and it can also activate the hazard lights and horn to help you find it more easily. Vehicle Health and Status If you struggle to remember when different components of your vehicle need to be checked or serviced, the MyMazda app can also help with that by notifying you when it's time to service your vehicle. You can also use the app to find out when you should be checking your tire pressure, oil, or lights, and check your fuel status and more directly from your phone. In-Vehicle Wi-Fi In-vehicle Wi-Fi capability helps you stay connected on the road using either Verizon or AT&T wireless data, depending on your model, and can support up to five devices at once. When you buy or lease certain 2019 or newer Mazda models, you'll get a free trial of Connected Services, so you can try out all these helpful features before committing to a subscription.

Modern vehicles have numerous advanced driver assistance features that aim to keep drivers and passengers safer. However, the brakes will always be the main safety feature your vehicle has, even though it's easy not to think of them as such. That's why learning to tell when you need to head to the Mazda dealer for a brake repair is absolutely essential. more 5 Signs You Need a Brake Repair from Your Mazda Dealer 1. The Brake Pads Look Thin Performing a visual inspection of your car should be something you do regularly. Examine every component you can, including the brake pads. You'll see the brake pads by looking between the spokes of your wheel. Check on your brake pads when they're new so you can see how thick they should be, as that'll help you recognize when they appear too thin. If it looks like there's less than 1/4 of an inch of brake pad left, then head to the dealer. 2. The Brake Pad Wear Indicator Is Exposed There's a brake pad wear indicator built into your brake pads. It gradually becomes exposed over time. This metal indicator scrapes against your metal rotors, creating a high-pitched squealing noise you'll hear when you step on the brake pedal. It's quiet, so make sure you listen out for this sound every so often with the radio and AC turned off. 3. The Car Keeps Moving to One Side Your vehicle may veer to one side when you step on the brake pedal if there's a problem with the braking system. If you have a jammed caliper piston on one side or if your brake linings are unevenly worn down, then your vehicle will naturally pull to one side during braking. Contaminated brake fluid may also make your car veer to the side during braking. 4. The Rotors Look Damaged While you're visually inspecting your brake pads as we discussed earlier, make sure you also pay attention to the piece of metal they're pressed up against. These are your rotors. They should have a smooth and even surface. If you notice grooves on them, then head to the dealer, as you may need to have them resurfaced or replaced. 5. The Brakes Aren't Responding Well If your brakes aren't working as well as they usually do, then there's definitely something wrong. There could be many different issues causing the problem, from worn rotors to a brake fluid or air leak. Head to the dealer to see if there's a problem if your brakes are even slightly less responsive than usual. Schedule service online today to get your brakes fixed ASAP.
