There isn’t, I agree. It is more sophisticated than it used to be but it doesn’t need to be if it isn’t going to get used. A complete waste of time it being there.

No, not marketing, they’re really good technical explanations with diagrams. I had tons in iCloud but it just filled it up so they’re on my hard drive where I can’t get them. I’ve found one on the EPB just as an example;

Yes, OK I apologise. It does frustrate me when she’s being encouraged to disable the computer that is programmed to do what she wants automatically. Even in Texas where I’ve experienced your summers it will still do exactly the same as overriding it but it will make adjustments year round...

Have you got access to “new car features”?

I’ve got some Mazda PDFs that you might find interesting but I’m not at home so can’t get at them just yet.

Ex vehicle test engineer but not for Mazda! I used to come to Detroit quite a lot at one time but spent most of the time in meetings.

It just seems such a shame to override such a powerful computer. There are certain actions the owner can undertake that will cause it to say I can’t perform that although I can’t immediately remember what they are. That’s where it is now with no fan speed. If she turns it off then presses auto...

Yes, sorry, I find it rather bewildering that somebody would want to remove the cat in this day and age and that there are people willing to assist in doing it. I would hope it were the other way around where all the old cars are being mandated to have them fitted or removed from the road...

This is what I was referring to with “see what I mean”; Post in thread 'AC Fan Blower sometimes not working' https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/ac-fan-blower-sometimes-not-working.123869071/post-6738054

It is a solution. If she turns it off with the power button, then presses the auto switch again it will work perfectly because it is currently hung. The benefit of leaving it in auto is that it will automatically vary the temperature and the airflow to maintain the desired temperature where...

Unbelievable.

The parameters are set by the governing bodies. In Europe, a car will not get a full five star crash rating unless it has autonomous braking that meets certain conditions and if your conditions are slightly different then the parameters have to be opened up to include them. It’s unfortunate...

See what I mean about people not having a clue what to do? Not your daughter, she’s admitted it but all the above that have said turn off the most sophisticated piece of equipment available to the driver. Tell your daughter that the fan speed is at zero if she looks in the display and the...

Just to be clear, mine were all different cars. Usually one went but the dealer did both while they had it.

They’ve improved it a lot with the later models that have an off road mode. It’s a simple device that locks a spinning wheel but at the end of the day, it’s a soft road vehicle and in that respect it’s quite good.

We’re missing part of the story with that one. The original complaint is poor heater performance and there’s no way even running a fan full speed would burn them out so frequently. I run the UK CX-5 Facebook group and we’ve never had a report of a fan going and the first one here is quite...

The NX was on a 2 year PCP (a purchase/lease plan) and is due up at the end of the year. I came away from diesel because it is steadily being outlawed in Europe. The NX was a really good price but now it’s on the run out I can only order the new one with no discount so very expensive. Mine is...

Well not really the same because window motors are very intermittent use ;-). The thing is with the auto setting is that it is completely automatic. When you start on a cold morning you’ll think it isn’t working but it is waiting for the engine to warm up because it knows the only air it can...

Modern heaters don’t work with the same “ram air” effect as the old designs did and with the blower fan off, virtually no air will find it’s way through the cabin filter and the labyrinth of passageways into the car. For that reason, the fan is blowing constantly the whole time the car is...

The new Lexus NX which has just been announced has apparently got more smartphone connectivity and entry is one of the functions along with but you can’t enter your CX5 because the locks are a completely different technology than your smartphone. The car needs to be geared up to talk to a phone...
