What They Don't Want You To Know! - NEW MAZDA HIDDEN FEATURES!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2023
- Does every new car come with an owners manual? Yes. Does anyone read it? Not really LOL. Every time we get a new car, we always want to know what are they hiding? What are the hidden features buried deep in that owners manual, or even NOT in the owners manual! Dealerships will ALWAYS leave out some features that your car comes with, so hopefully a couple of the ones that we have learned since Mac got his CX-50 so far can help you guys out! These are the Hidden Features, that apply to probably most New Mazdas!

On the power windows, sometimes they lose the ability to fully open or close automatically when giving the button an extra little press past the "click". If your windows no longer respond to the "all the way up" or "all the way down" feature you can do this to reprogram them. Press the down button at the driver's door, holding the switch down for an additional 5 seconds once it's all the way down. Then pull the button up, holding it for an additional 5 seconds once it comes all the way up. Give the button the little extra press down and it should be good to go! Works for every Mazda I've tried it on all the way back to 2007. I blew a salesperson's mind about a month ago by doing this. They had been working on this 2016 CX-9 trying to fix this issue. They replaced all 4 motors and all of the window switches on the car with no luck. Over $1500 in parts from the dealer. Knowledge is power!!
I just realized you left out the feature where you can program your seat, mirrors, & heads up display settings into your key fob by pressing set on the memory seat and press unlock on the remote. Every time you open your door all your settings adjust for you depending on which programmed key fob you're holding.
Now that's premium
That's not a "hidden feature"
Why does my 2019 Mazda 3 connect to the my Mazda app while my 2020 cx-9 won't? I know the screen on the 2020 cx-9 is the "older" version while my 2019 Mazda 3 has the non touch screen elongated version...but the newer car can't connect? Strange
That’s so cool - I’m going to have to see if there are any hidden features in my 2013 CX-5
@@LisaLisa-mx3hq it was hidden to me!
Why is it every time I try to look up something in an owners manual it’s never listed in the index? That’s why RUclips videos like this are indispensable. Thanks guys.
Mazda owners manual is TERRIBLE
Exactly, what really burns me up is there are things in mine (2024 model) that I don't even have access to and they don't specify trim.
@@ogopogo1397 I've seen worse
as a mazda sales person this actually really helpful ! great job
Yea, true cause most salesmen can't do their own job well. They are the greatest bullsh*ters lol.
@@whereswaldo9089 highly uncalled for.. I’m sorry if you have been burnt by dealerships in the past but I agree there are a lot of corrupt dealerships its straight up wrong.
@Semiwithacarrot never have been i dont even bother if it's anything above 2.9%, but I always hear all the horror stories with the salesman
@@whereswaldo9089 oh for sure personally I love my job I got lucky with dealership its super chill! In our area were the only place who never marked up cars during all that bs
@@whereswaldo9089I just bought a CX-50 yesterday and the salesman was really cool. Up front with pricing. Everyone at the Mazda dealership I went to were really cool people. Got good vibes from everyone
I have read my owners manual especially when I needed to pair my garage door opener too the button in our GMC . But your mostly right with most people not looking at the owners manual . enjoyed your video .
I bought my Mazda 3 carbon edition hatch here in Thailand, picked it up yesterday ! Owners manual all in Thai. uh oh. If you buy a car here they put flowers on the dashboard and give you a small buddha figurine for the dashboard. 🙂
The Toyota dealership where I got my used Mazda 3 S Grand Touring put a giant red bow on my vehicle when they brought it up for me after I bought it. That was a nice touch! Flowers on the dash and a spiritual memento sounds wonderful too!
THEY GAVE ME AN INFLATABLE DOLL
My wife and I share a 2021 CX-9. One of the top comments was regarding syncing your memory settings with the key fobs. This was the biggest tip for me; it’s going to be so convenient not having to adjust mirrors or push the memory setting buttons every time.
My mirrors on my 2019 CX-5 aren't linked to memory buttons. They have to be manually adjusted as we have the Signature model :(
How?
Good tips. How can you do that?
@@SteelRaider12isn't this the top trim & fl features are supposed to be available?
Bro I’ve lost your channel and found it 2 years later amazing keep up the good work
You are so lucky, u just missed Robbie’s 1 year pause!
nah, the best use of adaptive cruise control is in traffic. I found that the most stressful part of traffic is constantly pressing the break then the gas, then the break and so on. Setup adaptive cruise and let the car do all the stop and go. So much less stress. Keep your foot ready to strike but enjoy the ride.
Mazda's adaptive cruise control is too sensitive, even at the least sensitive setting, so it's annoying to use.
I've found that using adaptive cruise control in traffic leaves too much of a gap between me and the car in front. Idiots see it as an opportunity to cut in between us and then my car nose-dives because it senses a new object too close in front of me.
@@Varekai0723 I'm supposed to have adaptive cruise but so far I am manually having to adapt it on my steering wheel...up a few miles and down a few miles...way too often... Now that I watched this video I'm going into settings again. Last time I checked the only thing I found under safety settings was Blind Spot Monitoring...nothing else...so will be on the hunt. Cruise control is so satisfying when there aren't cars slowing at random times and driving erratically in front of me...living in a rural area makes it possible to use it more than in a more densely populated area.
Also, one thing I have noticed both on my Hyundai Accent SE and on my Mazda 3 is that my cruise control does NOT work on very short, hilly areas that go up and down like a roller coaster. After setting cruise speed to 50 which is the speed limit the darn thing starts giving the car too much gas as I climb the small hill and gets to about 53 and then as it starts downhill ends up going faster and faster getting up to 63 and then hits the next hill. Why is this?
I love it 😀
If it’s rush hour and you’re trying to maintain a small gap to the car in front of you to prevent them from cutting in, you’re probably not (or shouldn’t be) using adaptive or traditional cruise control. If traffic is lighter and you’re still getting cut-ins, make sure you adjust the ACC’s headway (following distance) to minimum - that should help, although cut-ins can still occur by the more aggressive drivers.
About the trick of letting the infotainment on while turn off the vehicle.
It also works if you put the car in Neutral before cutting the engine off.
Automatic or Manual trans or both?
Double click the start button without any feet on the pedals and it’ll come on
That is on my manual transmission
does the manual transmission have that button under the gas pedal or is that just on automatic?
@@wakinglife7065
Usually videos like this suck, but you two tucked in some real stuff here.
This is a safety feature… so if you have your parking brake engaged, the electronic parking brake will NOT automatically disengage unless you put your seatbelts on. You will think it’s broken but you are just not buckled up.
Mine doesn't.
great video robbie, havent watched it yet, but i know its gonna be a banger
the car windows going down feuture was already a thing on my mazda 6 MPS from 2007. with that remote you could pull the windows up by holding the lock button, the same way you would do with the unlock button to get them down.
I'm totally gonna try this on my wife's 2019 CX-5 GTR when she gets home from work!
Thanks for posting this. I hated my mirror going down when backing up.
You can turn off or on the radar cruise control without going into the settings. Just long press the cruise control button on the steering wheel to switch between the two.
Whoa! Had no idea about the key fob window thing, and keeping the infotainment on when turning off the engine! Thanks for the tips!
For most new vehicles you don't have to fully disable the adaptive cruise control in the infotainment. Let me blow your mind. When you press the cruise control button to turn it on. Press and hold it and it will automatically switch to regular speed hold instead of adaptive. To switch back to adaptive, just turn cruise control off and turn it back on again. :) I would love to see your reactions to this!
DAMN! Gonna try.
@Mateusz Plewa Hell yeah, Let me know if it works for you!
This does not work on Mazda 3, CX-30, and CX-50. It does work on CX-5 and CX-9
I randomly discovered this feature about 6 months ago while sitting in my driveway. By that time, I had been fighting with adaptive CC for over a year. I wouldn't mind using it more often if it braked smoother on the highway. You can't even merge left to pass someone without the radar spotting the upcoming car in the right lane and then braking heavily. 🙄
@@jbgetawesome I HATE adaptive CC.
I work at Mazda. I was never really a Mazda guy growing up but these new CX-50's are pretty sick.
Other useful features****
-Remote Start: Change how long the vehicle stays running before shutting off automatically. (10-30min)
-Turn off auto folding mirrors: Side mirrors will remain out/open, even after exiting the vehicle. (Can still fold mirrors manually via mirror buttons) *I highly recommend turning auto folding mirrors off during the winter season.
-Hidden VIN: Not really a feature - The VIN is hidden underneath the passenger floor mat, rather than displayed in the windsheild like most vehicles.
-Taco Holder: There is a flip-down taco holder located above the rear-view mirror, next to the overhead lights. 🌮
Lol, I wonder how many people didn't get the taco holder joke??!!
That's because it's a stupid joke
Just bought a Mazada 3 turbo. You guys hooked it up. Thank you.
Bro! Amazing - I hit a 2-fer in this video. Windows roll down on CX-5 and keeping the music on after shutdown...awesome! Good work and thank you!
My last four cars have been Mazdas... an '07 CX-7, a '12 CX-9, an '18 CX-9, and now a '22 CX-9. I stumbled across the window secret, thinking it was some kind of malfunction, by hitting the unlock button only a couple times in the CX-7, happily finding out that it was a normal function. The 2012 CX-9 also had this ability, but was told in the 2018 and my new '22, that it was no longer a thing. 😒 I loved that function... I'm so happy to find this video. I'm going to try that the next time I go outside. 😊
My 2018 CX-9 had a touchscreen display. When we bought this new car, the salesman told us they took that feature away... so stupid, IMO. Going to try out the android auto trick here, too.... hoping it works. 🙏🏼🤞🏼
Thanks for these additional comment tricks, too, everyone! I'm shorter than my husband, so being able to program our individual key fobs to our seat, mirror and HUD preferences is PRICELESS! 😊🎉❤
That gas click is mainly designed to downshift. Comes handy when you are causing in highway in manuall mode (6th gear foe example) and suddenly want to go fast
This is amazing, I didn’t know many of these hidden features
One of my favourite features is if you have heated seats, you can link your heated seats to your climate control. So when you remote start or get in the car and start it in the winter it will automatically turn on the heated seats! It sets them to the appropriate level based on temps inside and outside the vehicle. It will gradually reduce the temp and turn it off after a while as well. If there is no passenger detected it will not run their heated seat, but as soon as they sit down and click in their seat belt it will turn on their heated seat automatically as well if needed.
Hoew do you do it. i use the Mazda app to remote start. The climate control turn on but the the heated seats
@@bi2lel2 you just set your dual climate control on auto. Just push the button and the light will come on if it’s set. Set your preferred temp, and when you start your car it’ll turn the seat and steering wheel warmers on.
@@brytonmunro5270 Is this for certain years?
@@ladieofmagicful no idea tbh. Might just be the top trims too. If you have the “auto” option it’ll work.
@@brytonmunro5270 This does not work on my 2020 Mazda6 Signature with Mazda Remote start Fob
Thanks for this . Helped me out a lot with my car
Great video Robbie🔥
Ah what a throwback. The BRZ video, detailing the hidden features was the first video of yours I ever watched
Oh my goodness, me too!
The USB in the glovebox!
Interesting! I knew about the tilting side mirrors but didn’t know about the other features. I am trying the window feature as soon as I go outside this morning. Thanks!
I knew about the side windows but I am not sure if mine are working or if I don't have something set correctly. Like the key fob maybe or the mirror adjustment switch??
Very helpful. Thx guys.
Will the window feature’s work on a 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback ? Or do you have other videos on 2019 Mazda’s ?
Thanks for an informative vlog
Now find a way to use the remote start without having to use mazda connect. I hate having to use my phone because my key fob doesn't have that feature. (cx-30)
I agree 100%.
-Agreed 10000%
I saw a video earlier today that says to hit the lock button 2 times, then hold on the 3rd press to remote start your car with the key fob. I hope this works for you.
Thanks guys!
You can also switch the radar cruise on or off by holding down the “on” button for 3 seconds. Game changer
Does the apple car play touch screen work. on the 2023 cx5 premium plus?
Nice tips guys. I love radar cruise and wouldn't buy a car without it now. On my second vehicle with it now.
I love it too. Makes road trips at least half as tiring as before. Unfortunately Mazda doesn't have an effective version of this, but check out a newer Toyota with "Lane Centering" as well, it will also keep your car in the correct lane while cruise control is enabled, so all you have to do is keep your hand touching the wheel, and watch the road for anything sudden or unexpected where you'd have to suddenly intervene, but otherwise it makes road trips extremely easy to pull off. Other brand shave this too, but the only one I can vouch for personally is the effectiveness of the Toyota systems. Renting a RAV4 or Camry with unlimited miles included for your next road trip is a suggestion I'd give you if you're curious about it
Even the short vids are 🔥
New Mazda owner here 😅
Thank you!! This was very helpful🎉
Great video. Just bought a CX-50 turbo premium I’m picking up on Saturday and the infotainment system has me terrified. 😂 Thanks for the tips. 👍🏻
Congratulations! Actually the infotainment system is easy to get used to, though it has few quirks. Never been a fan of touchscreen in my older vehicle where my friends always kept touching it and leave smudges all over the screen. Now I don’t have to deal with that.
I agree with techenthusiast, once you get used to the Mazda "mouse" and buttons you wont want to go back to a regular touchscreen.
@@WiscTJK Plus the Apple Car play and Android Auto make the system a breeze to use. I lately use one button on the steering wheel(Voice control) to do most of my navigation 🤣🤣🤣
Robbie Demuro: THISSSSSSSS is a Mazda, and I'm gonna show you the the quirks and features. Then I'm gonna take it for a drive, and give it a Robbie Score!
And be sure to check out CAAAAAARS and BIDSSS
Douggie
Thanks man! We love to be able to roll all the windows down with the fob. 👍🏽
Awesome as usual🎉
The third “hidden feature” had 2 steps too many, it’s similar to accessory mode in an old school key car where you’d turn the key quarter way to have the infotainment system or even AC going. In my wife’s CX30 or even my 2018 Mazda6 all you need to do is once the car is off you just press the push to start button with no breaks or shifter knob and both the air and infotainment will come on.
Yup and you tap the gas pedal (or clutch) every once in a while so the car reset the 15 minute turn off timer.
Yeah but this stops the infotainment rebooting
In my car, 2023 H/B, you have to press it twice without the clutch or brake pedal depressed. I am not sure what happens when it is only pressed once.
(the start/stop button)
FYI, when you say AC, I hope you realize you're not going to get cooled or heated air, you're just getting air. And if you were in recirc mode when the engine was off, you're getting stale unheated or uncooled air when the engine is off. It just wastes battery.
Great tips! Altough, why would you turn off Adaptive CC? I thought it cause less fatigue while driving long distances.
aaah the best hidden gem there was the Jim Cornette Experience podcast! Perfect!
Keeping the CarPlay on saved me. This was such an irk before. Ty!!
Works wonderfully, thanks a lot.
Gonna have to try the shift knob button to keep the radio on. Never knew that one!
If you already turned the car off, another option is to hit the start button with no foot on the brake. Infotainment will stay on for 15-20 min.
I have a half year old Mazda 3, manual gear, I'm gonna try these features tomorrow asap 😅
Pretty cool guys. I have a 2015 CX-5, which I’m pretty sure has none of these functions, but looking to buy a new CX-30 Turbo , and I will be referring back to this video.
Great video!
My 2006 Mazda 6 already had the windows open feature with the remote. For mine you actually just need to hold down the unlock button. And to close the windows back up you have to put the key into the keyhole by the exterior driver door handle and turn to the lock position and hold. I only found it useful if I parked at a pay parking lot and have to display the ticket on the dash. I can do this to open and close the window to throw the ticket onto the dash without having to open the door.
Duuuude...what? Lol. I'm on my 3rd Mazda 3 since 2014 and my mind is blown 😂 Great vid, thanks for sharing
nice job, I like the touch screen option I will try on my CX-30 in 2 weeks
Engine Stop/Start: Not sure this is hidden, but definitely different than other makes: the CX-50 stop/start uses hydraulic pressure to engage the system, its not mechanical. Saves wear and tear on the starter and battery, but the feature is inconsistent since the driver doesn't know when the vacuum pressure is at a point to engage stop/start
Just found the online digital manual. Love it.
Good video. I am researching a CX 5
I usually download the manual of any electronic or anything that has electonics before purchasing. I like knowing what im buying and using it to its full potential.
Does the touch screen work for the cx5 based model ?
I don't understand why people don't like adaptive cruise. It is super handy and I miss it when I drive my vehicles that don't have it.
On road trips I set it for 5-10 over the speed limit and let it keep pace with cars ahead of me. I also use it in town because I have a small distracting child. This gives me an edge when someone decides to cut into my lane while trying to figure out why my child is freaking out.
The only time it is annoying in winter when the radar freezes over and it randomly turns it off with no way to use dumb cruise mode in my 2016 cx-5. The sudden deceleration can cause your vehicle to lose control in wet conditions.
Me neither, is just a great safety system.
And now it comes activated because people are so attached to their phones and always distracted.
I have a 23 CX5 and use adaptive cruise for over half my driving. what kind of crazy people don't like it?
You can switch to dumb cruise control by pressing and holding the cruise control button. 😁
It's an issue of having a ton of traffic and having people get just past you and then move into your lane with not even a car's length gap. Some Smart Cruise systems will literally slam on the brakes which is not only annoying and a pain in the ass but a safety issue and can cause a rear end collision if the person behind you doesn't have a good following distance. My old 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD did it when someone would move in front of me and in Utah on I-15 in traffic that was a big problem. I turned the smart Cruise off pretty often. My 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited is much better and doesn't slam on the brakes but rather just coasts until the gap is what I have it set at. My recent trip from Wichita to Sioux Falls was a great example.
It's a different car, but I hate the adaptive cruise on my 2018 Accord. Even if you set it to the closest following distance, it leaves too much space, so people cut in front of you nonstop. As a result, it ends up being very busy on the gas and brakes. It's a much more leisurely drive if I use standard cruise control and just turn it off in high traffic situations.
Cool info guys!! I am going to look at a 2021 CX9 grand touring plus, thats loaded low miles for a great price, it has heated steering wheel and heated/ventilated seats a feature we really need. So will heck out the auto climate control remote start setup and make sure it works!!
Adaptive cruise was a lifesaver on road trips but it can freak out if somebody cuts you off. Most cars let you adjust sensitivity. The thing I always turned off though was lane keep. I had a VW Passat and it almost crashed me because it misread lane markings I guess and tried to swerve me into the opposite lane.
My Mazda salesman couldn’t answer a single question I asked about my car after delivery. I had the car for two months before I knew what the auto hold feature was. I also didn’t know how to keep the side mirrors from tilting down when in reverse.
I have a 22 Acura MDX. It has the roll down of windows & Opens the sunroof by 2 clicks of the Unlock button, the second click is held for as long as you want. You can release it early and it will stop rolling the windows. Then I hit the Remote Start button, which starts the A/C in summer. Great feature, if the car is in "reach" of those signals. The other features of the Mazda are also included and then some. Tilt Down side mirrors is a valuable feature, especially parking by curbs in city areas. I'm an Old Timer .... I always read the Manuals. I want to know all the features of my car. However, Vignettes like this are very helpful to bring the info to the Masses. THX
Going to try the window thing on our 2021 M3 100 anniversary tomorrow
hey are the seats in the cx50 bigger than the cx5 seats? i test drove a cx5 and felt like the seats were tiny compared to crv and rav4
That was mad. Mind officially blown. Nice work legend. I own a 2019 cx5 Akera 2.5l petrol turbo model in Australia..Do my models hidden options please
I LOVE adaptive cruise!
This is so helpful wow!
Thank you guys..we just got our cx50 yesterday
I have to say the CX5 is a better car than any of the latest cx30/60/90 series. They are solidly built and sound expensive on doors etc. My CX-60 top 3.3 which cost twice as much as my wife's CX 5 black edition is a pile of junk compared to it.
Tnx for these tips....did you know that if you press the Star, Music and Volume button at the same time for about 3 seconds that a "secret" menu pops up?...don't know what to do with it though 😅 (if you do how to program it, please let me know😀)
Windows down feature is pure gold! Thank you.
Also the adaptive cruise does not come on “automatically” you have to still enable it xD
The procedure for turning off the vehicle while leaving the Connect on is not well understood. Do you know if it also works for Mazda CX-60? Thank you
New to Mazda, Tommy 2 days ago. Not sure if this is trim related, but if you are in manual mode, you can change gears by pressing two buttons on the back of your steering wheel, behind your left and right wheel spokes.. So like paddle shifters, but button shifters instead.
What? You're saying the shifters are there by just the paddles missing? That's a crazy easy thing to mod
WOW! MAc's hair grows really fast!
I'd like to see methods of permanently turning off/disabling all the safety junk I do not need or want. Automatic brakes, lane keep, lane departure, radar cruise, plus cylinder deactivation and engine start/stop. I'm hanging on to my 2014 Mazda3 since it doesn't have any of that crap.
Any chance of figuring out why the Pandora app doesn't hook up? It will work thru Bluetooth, just not thru the app
You don’t get the Tilty mirror thing on the lower trim models. My 23 cx30 isn’t equipped
Great video
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
My understanding is that the screens did not have a Touch Sensitive layer at all? Did that change for 2023?
My CX3 was delivered to my house by the salesman, and he took the time to explain everything
Neither the window trick nor the touch screen option is do-able on the '21/'22 cx30 premium
Are these features only on the 2020 and up ? I have a 2019 are there any features?
Interesting. On my 2014 Fusion i can close all windows including the sunroof with the remote. The windows have a safety system that stops it if something gets in the way.
Also if you’re in manual mode and go WOT but don’t click the kickdown it won’t downshift, if you do click it it’ll drop to the lowest gear and auto shift for you. Nice for when you’re making a quick pass and don’t want to click from 6th to 2nd or 3rd.
Can you elaborate
I find that immensely valuable when you need to slam the accelerator to get out of a sticky situation but forgot you were in manual mode and don't have your hand on the shifter.
His hair all grew back wow! I bet people wish the had hair like that.
Also the windows winding down Hondas or at least for mine 2006 Honda accord pressing the unlock twice 2nd time holding it down opens all the windows!
Mazda 6, 2006. - just press and keep pressed lock or unlock button on your key for about 3 seconds and all windows go down or up depending on if you're locking or unlocking your car.
My brand new CX-50 has this dope anti-theft feature where the battery dies overnight... Literally less than 1k miles on it 😂
Yep I'm having the same issue with my 2021 CX 5 where the battery keeps dying and I have no idea why but I suspect it's a problem with the key fob or the TCU software.
We have a 2014 CX-5 and a 2020 CX-30 so I'm hoping the radio trick when the car is turned off will work.
This is such a cool video! I instantly subscribed. Being a pensioner I am unable to afford to join, but I like your video productions.
The radio trick works on my 2021 CX-30 but not the windows down one.
Thanks for these tips guys. Been searching but cannot find anywhere. I have a 2021 GS model. I park my car at the train station but cannot fold my sideview mirrors automatically nor manually. I am scared they will snap if I push too hard. Can they fold up? Thanks.
Turn the mirror adjust button all the way around. Engine has to be on. If that doesn’t work, then I think your mirrors have loose wires.
small tap and then press the throttle pretty much double tap it and the car will drop gears and go works in almost all autos
I have a 2021 Mazda cx9 grand touring just got it today I hope I can do the touch screen part
i just gotta try the window down thing!!
Adaptive cruise control on Mazda will come to a complete stop on the freeway. If you set the distance you want via the dashboard, the car will even brake if it sees a car on it's radar. ACC to me is amazing and I love it.
I have a 2019 Mazda 3 and had it since 2019 and I didn't know about the 4 click feature!
