Thanks! Some great tips in there, a couple I didn't know or wasn't quite sure about. Another great one you could mention in future is that you can assign your seat position memory setting to your key fob. Just adjust the seat, press the "Set" button on the seat, but instead of pressing 1 or 2, you hold the unlock button on your key fob until you hear a beep. So next time you unlock your car with that key fob, and the seat has been moved by someone, it'll adjust to your position memory within 40 second of unlocking the car.
This video should be remade with this feature shown, seriously. I have a '18 6 signature. Prob won't work but if it does I didn't k ow about that and I know everything about my car..
How cool! My wife has a Mazda3 Astina (top of the line here, prob equivalent to the Signature) with the electric seats and memory positions. Must try that one!
Thanks, Charlie. I've had my Mazda CX 5 for almost a year now with a little over 500 miles on it and I still have not figured out everything. This video surely helps. This senior citizen thanks you.
Just drive it like your going to. You wanna break it in the way your actually gunna drive. It’s not really broken in if you just baby it just don’t floor it for the first 1000km
Just went through comment section, and I'm amazed how many folks don't even go through all the settings and options of their car, even after several months of ownership. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm weird, but I just love scanning all details and setting up my car for my preference.
I have kept a mazda in the garage in a form or another got a cx9 gt to replace her mx5 gt and she never reads the books it come with them… for me i hardly ever use it so not much there, i prefer my denali for weekend rides and my highlander limited for commuting, Mazda looks great just not much compared to our other vehicles so it just a good grocery getter
This is all from my 2019 CX-5 GT. Additionally with the key fob. If the fob battery is dead, place the end of the fob on the start button and it'll light up, letting you start the car. The 4 bars on the radar cruise control display are not car lengths. The distance they represent varies with your speed. When setting a new destination in the GPS that's over 25 miles away, do it manually and start by entering the zip code. It immediately tells NAV what state & area you'll be in and adjusts the expected street names. Whenever you get service done, ask the Mazda shop to also check the infotainment firmware for a new version. The panel light brightness knob has an additional function. If you push it, you change from imperial (miles) to metric (kilometers). If you can afford it, get the trim level with the heads up display. You'll love it. Speed, GPS directions, blind spot monitor and speed limit all right in front of you. If you have the heads up display, get NON-polarized sunglasses. If you use polarized sunglasses the display all but disappears. The vertical position of the heads up display can be adjusted in the settings. The lane keeping function cannot be fully turned off. The lowest level you can go it to get haptic feedback in the steering wheel and the lane flashing. At least that's better than fighting the car just to change lanes. The traffic monitoring on the map is currently $7/mo by itself from Sirius xm. Not worth it, IMO. One question I have. When the radar cruise slows the car, do the brake lights go on?
One more thing about radar cruise control! Once your CX5 has come to a complete stop, tapping on the gas once will “reactivate” radar cruise control and accelerate from stop, back to where you’re set (or to the traffic flow).
The tip on the tialgate height was a game changer for me. I have been standing in my garage judging when to hit the button so it doesn't hit my door opener. NO MORE!😃
I found out about the key in the key fob when I dropped it and it opened. I was like wow, there's a key in here lol. Great video! Thanks for the tips. I gotta check if my Bose speakers are on properly and play with the window feature lol, I had no idea about that.
I would caution folks to listen to the system with a good quality source (Android Auto or apple carplay) and try the different CenterPoint settings. I find it sounds more balanced and less of a fake surround sound with CenterPoint turned off.
Yes either way you have a Bose sound system "Centerpoint" is just a feature like Sony's "base boost" whether it's on or not, if you have Bose speakers then you still have a Bose sound system
@@3tommygunns3 I'm guessing you haven't listened to this system. It is better than any Bose system I've heard in the past. The engineers did it right this time.
@@3tommygunns3 The 2018 CX-5 is an entirely different system from the 2021 Mazda 3 Bose system. My co-worker has the '18 CX-5 and was also impressed with my '21 3's system.
Those with older models without a sport button can double tap on the gas pedal to full and it will go into sport mode by shifting down and staying at higher revs till you let your foot off the gas pedal
Really enjoyed the Bose tip. Much better sound with Bose centerpoint enabled I think. I will push the base up some though since the surround sound reduces the experience of it a bit I think.
Another feature you didn't mention, was if you have Sirius Satellite Radio, There's a setting you can set, so that many channels you go to, will go right to the beginning of the song, instead of wherever it is at the moment. I LOVE this feature!
The Bose Centerpoint is set to off for a reason. It’s ok for mixes done in quadraphonic…I play around with it sometimes but it changes the mix that was intended for the listeners. When you turn it on the stereo will be louder which tricks you into thinking it sounds better. If u want the music to sound the way it was intended I would keep it off. If I watch a movie in your car and want surround sound then turn it on.
Most all this applies to our 2018 CX-5 as well. I'm going to see if the rear recline is true too. We have the Bose sound system in ours too, but we're not really impressed by it, on or off. We think it actually sounds a bit better without it turned on.
Thanks. Very helpful. I feel that all car manufactures should supply the salesmen with a full list of the features to mention on the handover day. With all the new information, possible distractions and apprehension around, it shouldn't be left to chance, but formalised. Thanks again.
Many of the sales people don't even follow up with you after the purchase of the vehicle to see if you're satisfied with it they're so quick in a hurry for you to buy it and never check on anything, afterwards
@@LisaLisa-mx3hq You could see it that way. It'd protect the customer, though, from being a given the impression that he'd been rushed, after the sale. And no one could then say, if the points were then signed off, that the important matters were hastily mentioned. It should avoid the impression of complete disinterest, once the car had been sold. The self-help part should come later. Thanks.
Excellent informative video. I just bought a 2021 CX-5 Signature. Sprung for the top-of-the-line trim level because of the ventilated (cooled) front seats and the 360 degree overhead camera. Two features I had in a previous car and found indispensable. Your tip about the Bose surround sound was particularly useful. Your channel just got a new subscriber.
I bought the CX-5 Grand Touring and paid $1625 for the Premium Package and with that ventilated seats are in the vehicle plus the heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, Auto fold door mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer, and active driving display. All pretty cool stuff!
I just got mine yesterday and opted for the top model because in Australia it’s the only one with the 360° camera.. after driving my BMW for 4yrs I just couldn’t give the camera up! I love this car already! It’s getting cold here now and the heated seats and steering wheel are SO good! I tested them last night on the way home from work at midnight! Can’t wait to try the ventilated for summer too!
@@2004cyrus I did the same thing as you. It was either between that or the GT reserve with the Zoom-Zoom. It was a tough and agonizing choice lol. I pick mine up in a few days.
Such a wonderful video. These are small things but I didn't know exist in the car and I had been driving from past 1 year :) Thanks for explaining nicely.
When I’m on a two lane road and veer towards the center line, my radio output will shift to the right speaker for a few seconds. The opposite happens if I veer too close to the right side of the road. When that happens, my radio output will shift to the left speaker. It’s a subtle brain hint to correct your steering. I have the 2020 CX-5.
That’s awesome. I just bought one. I have a question. Is there a way to program whenever I lock the car on the button from the door, all the windows up?
This is still my first choice of vehicle. Waiting on the 2022 redesign. If I don't like it I'll buy 2021. It's so classy and premium looking. Kind of concern about the black cladding it will fade over time to that faded gray color. Great video
Cool video. Here's a just as important tip you may not know, because Mazda is horrible about not documenting this. If you want to listen to music on a USB flash drive (not a phone) then the drive you buy can be no larger than 8GB and must be formatted in FAT 32.
The GT does have a touch screen, it’s just that Mazda decided it’s unsafe to use the touch while driving so it gets automatically disabled but stop the car and the touch comes to life .. way too many people and even reviewers seem to not know about this
Very helpful. I did not know about the setting for Rain sensing Wipers. I also thought it was for the speed. And I'm gonna check my Bose settings to confirm. Thanks, very much appreciated! Just subbed!
I didn't want my wipers to turn on in the automatic carwash because that could damage the wipers. So I turned off my rain sensitivity in the center screen (Settings>> Vehichle Settings>> Rain Sensing). Now my "Auto" setting works as Intermittent, and now the middle dial with the bars does work for different speeds of intermittent.
Mazda probably keeps that Bose system disabled so that when you do enable it, there will be some shock factor. "Woah, I didn't know the sound was this good!" --> impactful memory
It's not disabled what he's talking about is a feature that some people think makes the car sound better when on. In truth it just gives the seakers more range. But if you pay for the Bose upgrade then you have Bose speakers I.e you have a Bose sound system wether Bose Centerpoint is on or not
I hate the key fob. It’s easier to accidentally hit a button with the buttons on the side. Most cars the key just pops out you don’t have to disassemble the key fob to get to it. But you don’t have to take it out that much because the glove box doesn’t lock which is also annoying.
Don’t rely on the radar cruise to stop you if you’re driving above 30 mph and change into a lane that already has cars stopped in it (like if you move into a left turn lane where cars are waiting to turn) because it almost never recognizes the stopped cars in front of you in time to stop you. It’s not meant for that anyway.
Thanks for commenting on this. That's been my experience, too. Radar doesn't always recognize a stopped vehicle in front of you after driving without recognizing a vehicle there.
Add one more...the rear brake pads wears out 56% faster than the front brake pads that has a screamer installed that goes off when it needs to be replaced. The rear brake pads will have grinding metal noise coming from the rear it will become noticeable while backing up. If you ignore it then soon you will hear it as you brake before into a complete stop.
It was working. The Bose Centerpoint is just a feature of the system to add more range if you CX has Bose speakers it has a Bose sound system whether or not Centerpoint is in or off
Thanks for the awesome vid! Question, I have the 2022 model. I noticed your cruise monitor/lane departure screen is on the right instead of in the center with your speedometer. Is that something you can adjust? Thanks again!
I can open windows on my remote in my 2023 CX5. You have to press unlock four times and on the fourth time you hold the button and then they all roll down. Unfortunately there’s no way to roll them up but still a cool feature.
One thing you might not know about your Surround Sound - - it defaults to OFF because most people listen to Music on their Bose system. Surround Sound is designed to enhance dialog in Movies primarily. If you are listening to Movies, Podcasts, things with a lot of human voice... then the setting in your video is correct. But the car came with it turned OFF for a reason.
I have my lights on auto - does that mean I have auto high beams or is there something I need to do? I have the 2021 Akera (which I believe is Signature outside of Australia)?
@@annatremewan4935 yes I got my Akera yesterday and turned my lights on auto and the high beams turned on automatically once I was on the highway with no cars around :)
For sure everything n this video up to the Bose info applies to the 2017 and 2018 CX-5 models as well, and I am pretty sure what you said regarding the Bose system also applies.
We have a 2016 CX-5 and still enjoy it. I do however like our hidden spare key better as it has a chunk of plastic to hold onto while using it & it also just slides out of the fob with a bit of effort
The radar stop function slams on the brakes, so don’t use this. I’ve had my car brake several times. It’s not a fun experience. Thank you so much for this video. I just went out and checked my Bose settings and they were off. I’ve had my car three years and I thought all my settings were adjusted right. So thank you.
Last was the best. I think most peep's know about the child lock, I would like to see a defeat setting on the safe window stop, especially when in questionable neighborhoods, the back door lift adjust, WHY? The safe stop cruise is 100% spot on, the lane assist won't take you back to center, it will just bitch at you while your careen off into the woods. *The AWD now has a TRAIL MODE you should cover that its a GREAT FEATURE!!!!!*
I have a very short (height) garage. I NEEDED the back door lift adjust because without it my liftgate would bang into my garage door tracks on the ceiling.
I bought a CX-5 on Friday. I loved the CX-30 w/Turbo & AWD but it just wasn’t a practical choice. But it sure put a smile on my face. I had to go the next size up and I’m pretty happy but I feel the seats are hard because my butt gets sore after 20 minutes. I wish the it had LED interior lights. I wish it had a dead pedal cover instead of just carpet. I wish the brakes grabbed a lot quicker. I with the turn signal stalks had illumination. The door lock situation is a lifer weird. Apple CarPlay is buried in the setting in the screen too and also finding radio stations and changing them takes some time and a lot of attention. I can’t figure out the memory seats. I bought the Grand Touring with performance package. The ventilated seats and heads-up display are very nice to have. And unlike a lot of manufacturers, Mazda doesn’t include rubber floor mats in the CX-5, not even for a charge. Lastly I think this CX-5 needs stickier tires. I wish I would have purchased the Turbo w/AWD. Otherwise it’s a pretty nice ride and well out together as it’s manufactured completely in Japan. The color I selected is Pearl White Snowflake @ $395. Oh and I love the power folding mirrors on the outside when the vehicle is turned off. My dealer was not selling their cars below sticker so it was the first time I paid retail for a vehicle plus their $399 Documentation Fee. Thanks for the video man
@@charliesvids Another RUclips video presented today says I should wait until the summer when the full MSRP deals go away with the stimulus money. I agree. All the Mazda dealerships from 250 miles around are not discounting off MSRP. Thanks for the CX 5 video. FYI, I was seriously considering a Santa Fe but found out about the engine fire recalls going on and the persistent excessive oil consumption issues over the past 6 years that Hyundai refuses to address.
Cx5 is way more car for the money. I own a cx5 2019 and had a cx30 as a borrow car when my cx5 was at service. The cx30 is smaller and noisier and do not have the same premium feel at all
@@charliesvids on but they do. I have a manual CX-5 2020 and MRCC is there. It's a lovely feature, keeps me the distance I have set behind another vehicle and it slows down when they do slow down. However, it disengages it once it hits 17 mph. After that you're on your own and you better hit that break pedal. I guess if one's to hit the vehicle in front at 17 mph the damage should be kept to a minimum. Thank for your reply.

I don’t think the 2021 is touch screen at all even when stopped
Oh wow really ? I just bought a new one. I think you are talking about the older ones
Very helpful. I did not know about the setting for Rain sensing Wipers. I also thought it was for the speed. And I'm gonna check my Bose settings to confirm. Thanks, very much appreciated! Just subbed!
I didn't want my wipers to turn on in the automatic carwash because that could damage the wipers. So I turned off my rain sensitivity in the center screen (Settings>> Vehichle Settings>> Rain Sensing). Now my "Auto" setting works as Intermittent, and now the middle dial with the bars does work for different speeds of intermittent.
Thanks! there were a few i did not know!
thank you so much for your great tips.I have been driving my cx5 for almost two years. but i did't some feature you just mentioned in your video.
Youre very welcome!
Thanks you solved my trunk issue
Mazda probably keeps that Bose system disabled so that when you do enable it, there will be some shock factor. "Woah, I didn't know the sound was this good!" --> impactful memory
It's not disabled what he's talking about is a feature that some people think makes the car sound better when on. In truth it just gives the seakers more range. But if you pay for the Bose upgrade then you have Bose speakers I.e you have a Bose sound system wether Bose Centerpoint is on or not
I hate the key fob. It’s easier to accidentally hit a button with the buttons on the side. Most cars the key just pops out you don’t have to disassemble the key fob to get to it. But you don’t have to take it out that much because the glove box doesn’t lock which is also annoying.
Mhmmm so this whole time I had my 2020 for 8 months and didn’t know the whole time my Bose speakers were off...... wow lol
So glad it helped! You technically still had Bose, just not the Surrpound Sound, which is the best part!
Yea the sound is not good without lol
Don’t rely on the radar cruise to stop you if you’re driving above 30 mph and change into a lane that already has cars stopped in it (like if you move into a left turn lane where cars are waiting to turn) because it almost never recognizes the stopped cars in front of you in time to stop you. It’s not meant for that anyway.
Thanks for commenting on this. That's been my experience, too. Radar doesn't always recognize a stopped vehicle in front of you after driving without recognizing a vehicle there.
Thank you!!M I wondered why the sound system did not meet my expectations
Once you turned on the Bose Centerpoint did it improve a lot?
I just find it so hilarious this keeps getting recommended to me. Trying to figure out how this car is tied to Blackrock taking over the world.
LOL
The steering wheel adjustment is cool
Add one more...the rear brake pads wears out 56% faster than the front brake pads that has a screamer installed that goes off when it needs to be replaced. The rear brake pads will have grinding metal noise coming from the rear it will become noticeable while backing up. If you ignore it then soon you will hear it as you brake before into a complete stop.
Could you do a video on all the interior safety features and any exterior thank you
Like airbags and seat belts and the LATCH for car seats?
Thank you for that - did not know by Bose system wasn't working!
Youre welcome!
It was working. The Bose Centerpoint is just a feature of the system to add more range if you CX has Bose speakers it has a Bose sound system whether or not Centerpoint is in or off
Thanks! Didn’t know about the Bose on/off thing. I’d never turned mine on🤨
It took me a couple of days to figure it out
On or off. Doesn't matter, If you have Bose speakers then you have a Bose sound system
Thanks for the awesome vid! Question, I have the 2022 model. I noticed your cruise monitor/lane departure screen is on the right instead of in the center with your speedometer. Is that something you can adjust? Thanks again!
Can you open the windows with your remote?? I could with my old Mazda6, but not the new CX5?? I missed this feature on hot summer days...
Unfortunately nope
I can open windows on my remote in my 2023 CX5. You have to press unlock four times and on the fourth time you hold the button and then they all roll down. Unfortunately there’s no way to roll them up but still a cool feature.
One thing you might not know about your Surround Sound - - it defaults to OFF because most people listen to Music on their Bose system. Surround Sound is designed to enhance dialog in Movies primarily. If you are listening to Movies, Podcasts, things with a lot of human voice... then the setting in your video is correct. But the car came with it turned OFF for a reason.
Thanks for the video. I was unaware of the Bose feature.
Youre welcome!
Awesome video, expecting my CX5 in a Month and will def check out these features!
Appreciate that! You're going to love it!
Centerpoint doesn’t turn Bose audio on/off, it is the automatic surround sound level adjustment.
is there a setting where so your not fighting with wheel if you go over lane? Thanks.
This is for a CX-30, but the settings are the same: ruclips.net/video/PmBOHv4ra6c/видео.html
Why does this video seem like it was made in 1991. Weird transition effects and music LOL.
It was!
It took me a year of driving my CX5 before I discovered auto high beams :)
Oh no! LoL
I have my lights on auto - does that mean I have auto high beams or is there something I need to do? I have the 2021 Akera (which I believe is Signature outside of Australia)?
@@annatremewan4935 yes I got my Akera yesterday and turned my lights on auto and the high beams turned on automatically once I was on the highway with no cars around :)
@@meldoggett2942If it is dark enough outside.
@@jefft9729 well yeah, that’s common sense :)
For sure everything n this video up to the Bose info applies to the 2017 and 2018 CX-5 models as well, and I am pretty sure what you said regarding the Bose system also applies.
I should've bought a CX-5 last year but I bought a 2019 CX-3 instead. Do you have any secrets about my car?
I have a 2019 CX5 with the BOSE system (including the subwoofer) and it doesn't have the slide controls you show. Mine just has boxes that you check.
This man does it all 😎🔥
YAY! I was wondering what was wrong with my music!
Great, the information shared is very helpful
We have a 2016 CX-5 and still enjoy it. I do however like our hidden spare key better as it has a chunk of plastic to hold onto while using it & it also just slides out of the fob with a bit of effort
The radar stop function slams on the brakes, so don’t use this. I’ve had my car brake several times. It’s not a fun experience. Thank you so much for this video. I just went out and checked my Bose settings and they were off. I’ve had my car three years and I thought all my settings were adjusted right. So thank you.
Last was the best. I think most peep's know about the child lock, I would like to see a defeat setting on the safe window stop, especially when in questionable neighborhoods, the back door lift adjust, WHY? The safe stop cruise is 100% spot on, the lane assist won't take you back to center, it will just bitch at you while your careen off into the woods. *The AWD now has a TRAIL MODE you should cover that its a GREAT FEATURE!!!!!*
I have a very short (height) garage. I NEEDED the back door lift adjust because without it my liftgate would bang into my garage door tracks on the ceiling.
Hi. I want to buy a used Mazda CX5, which year and model (signature, touring 4wd, etc) are best for beginners you would recommend?
The touring trim is the perfect fit for all your basic and even some additional needs!
I bought a CX-5 on Friday. I loved the CX-30 w/Turbo & AWD but it just wasn’t a practical choice. But it sure put a smile on my face. I had to go the next size up and I’m pretty happy but I feel the seats are hard because my butt gets sore after 20 minutes. I wish the it had LED interior lights. I wish it had a dead pedal cover instead of just carpet. I wish the brakes grabbed a lot quicker. I with the turn signal stalks had illumination. The door lock situation is a lifer weird. Apple CarPlay is buried in the setting in the screen too and also finding radio stations and changing them takes some time and a lot of attention. I can’t figure out the memory seats. I bought the Grand Touring with performance package. The ventilated seats and heads-up display are very nice to have. And unlike a lot of manufacturers, Mazda doesn’t include rubber floor mats in the CX-5, not even for a charge. Lastly I think this CX-5 needs stickier tires. I wish I would have purchased the Turbo w/AWD. Otherwise it’s a pretty nice ride and well out together as it’s manufactured completely in Japan. The color I selected is Pearl White Snowflake @ $395. Oh and I love the power folding mirrors on the outside when the vehicle is turned off. My dealer was not selling their cars below sticker so it was the first time I paid retail for a vehicle plus their $399 Documentation Fee. Thanks for the video man
Great tips!!!!! I didn’t know about 2/3 of them haha
Just got mine. I would estimate there are about 600 pages of things I don’t know. My brain is hurting with all this stuff I don’t need.
Considering buying a Mazda CX 5 over CX 30. Now starts the search for the best dealership deals in Louisiana.
Good luck!
@@charliesvids Another RUclips video presented today says I should wait until the summer when the full MSRP deals go away with the stimulus money. I agree. All the Mazda dealerships from 250 miles around are not discounting off MSRP.
Thanks for the CX 5 video. FYI, I was seriously considering a Santa Fe but found out about the engine fire recalls going on and the persistent excessive oil consumption issues over the past 6 years that Hyundai refuses to address.
Do it. If you want cx30 you should get the 3, it’s the same size and looks better for less.
@@chickenmuffin Thanks. I will take a look at the 3. :)
Cx5 is way more car for the money. I own a cx5 2019 and had a cx30 as a borrow car when my cx5 was at service.
The cx30 is smaller and noisier and do not have the same premium feel at all
The radar cruise control will stop the car if cruise control is on? That would be on an automatic right? How about on a manual?
Manual won't have Radar Cruise unfortunately
@@charliesvids on but they do. I have a manual CX-5 2020 and MRCC is there. It's a lovely feature, keeps me the distance I have set behind another vehicle and it slows down when they do slow down. However, it disengages it once it hits 17 mph. After that you're on your own and you better hit that break pedal. I guess if one's to hit the vehicle in front at 17 mph the damage should be kept to a minimum. Thank for your reply.
lol forgot you are the top salesman with all the filing news i watch dailz
Was** haha
Been trying to figure out this rain sensor wipers for a while. Will give this a try.
In what years did apply to
Helpful vid, thanks bro!
Absolutely!
wow, had no idea about the Bose thing! Its weird they tout the feature as a buying point but its not enabled by default
Yeah I thought the same!
