Now Included on Every Vehicle: Pulse Safer Braking Technology at Hello Mazda of Temecula

At Hello Mazda of Temecula, your safety is always at the forefront—whether you’re driving off in a brand-new Mazda CX-5 or a carefully inspected pre-owned Mazda3.
That’s why we’re proud to now include Pulse Safer Braking Technology on every new and used vehicle we sell.

In today’s increasingly distracted traffic environment, Pulse provides a bright and highly visible alert that helps reduce the risk of one of the most common types of accidents: rear-end collisions.

Why Rear-End Collisions Matter

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 50% of two-vehicle crashes in the U.S. are rear-end collisions. These aren’t always the result of reckless driving—often, they happen because the driver behind doesn’t realize traffic is slowing down.

With more distractions like mobile devices and in-car entertainment systems, even a split-second delay in reaction time can lead to an accident.

That’s where Pulse steps in.

What Is Pulse?

Pulse Safer Braking Technology connects to your vehicle’s third brake light and creates a rapid attention-grabbing flash—four quick pulses—every time you step on the brakes. This unique flash sequence helps your brake lights stand out in traffic and alerts the driver behind you more effectively.

After the initial pulse, the light returns to regular operation. Plus, it features a 5-second reset period to prevent repeated flashing in stop-and-go traffic.

There’s nothing for you to activate or configure—Pulse works automatically, every time you press the brakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it annoy other drivers?
Not at all. Pulse flashes once per brake application, then waits five seconds before resetting. It’s built to alert, not annoy.

Does it affect my brakes?
No. Pulse only connects to the third brake light and has zero effect on how your brakes function.

Is it compatible with my vehicle?
Yes. Pulse works with most vehicles made after 1991, including those with LED or incandescent brake lights.

Can I disable it?
Pulse is permanently installed but non-intrusive. You won’t even notice it unless you’re watching your third brake light in a mirror. If you have questions or concerns, our service team is happy to help.
