Now Standard at Hello Mazda of San Diego: Pulse Safer Braking Technology

At Hello Mazda of San Diego, protecting you and your loved ones is more than a commitment—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Whether you’re purchasing a brand-new Mazda or a quality pre-owned vehicle, every model now comes equipped with the innovative Pulse Safer Braking Technology.

In today’s fast-paced traffic, where distractions are just a glance away, Pulse adds a vital layer of visibility to your drive—designed to help prevent rear-end collisions before they happen.

Rear-End Collisions: A Growing Concern

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly half of all two-car crashes are rear-end collisions. Often, these happen not due to recklessness—but because the driver behind simply didn’t notice slowing traffic in time.

As in-car distractions increase, so does the importance of smart safety technology.

What Makes Pulse Different?

Pulse connects to your third brake light and emits four bright flashes whenever you apply the brakes. This attention-grabbing flash pattern helps your vehicle stand out, especially in heavy traffic or adverse weather.

After pulsing, your brake light returns to its normal function. The system also features a built-in five-second reset to prevent excessive flashing in stop-and-go driving.

There’s no setup or switches to worry about—just consistent, automatic protection every time you press the brake pedal.

• Improves brake light visibility with no user input needed
• Completely non-intrusive—no impact on how your brakes perform
• Compatible with most cars built after 1991
