Mazda among many other automakers has intentionally refrained from touchscreens.
Mazda touch screen while driving.
They took a long time trying to gauge the possible effects of touchscreens on driving safety and comfort while driving.
For safety reasons touch screen operations are disabled while the vehicle is in motion.
While rivals offer increasingly complex dashboards the new mazda3 has abandoned touch screens and won t show anything than driving information in its instrument panel.
That s the opposite of brands like volkswagen which now offers a configurable digital dashboard display for its golf small car.
Instructions may vary depending on your system s version of software.
I couldn t be happier.
Most new cars offer a tablet like touch screen interface but mazda wants to shift that paradigm.
For some of the same reasons a big screen of any kind that s closer to the driver s eyes like in the tesla model 3 isn t the answer either mazda insists.
Operate the touch screen.
Active driving display safety sound bluetooth language and more.
So i got a 2018 gt two days ago and it s such a great car.
