Summary
The 2019 Mazda3 features a redesigned body structure with a massive increase in ultra-high-tensile steel (980MPa or higher) from 3% to 30%, alongside new perimeter beams and accordion-style rear side frames. It also introduces the i-Activsense ADAS suite, which includes collision braking, front cross traffic alert, Cruising & Traffic Support, and a driver monitoring system.
What to do on the job
Identify and verify the locations of ultra-high-tensile steel (980MPa or higher) and i-Activsense ADAS components before performing any structural repairs or calibrations on a 2019 Mazda3.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of specialized structural repair planning and ADAS calibration on the 2019 Mazda3.
