    Knock sound from rear of CX-5 when cold start and accelerating

    https://www.holidaymazda.com/blog/what-is-the-mazda-auto-hold-button/ How to turn off Mazda auto hold: If you are driving along, then a simple press of the button will turn auto hold off. However, if you are already at a stop, and the hold feature is engaged, you will have to depress the brakes...

    Knock sound from rear of CX-5 when cold start and accelerating

    Yes. I was referring to the Hold feature. Try turning it off. (Best explanation is that the pads semi stick to the rotors after sitting for a bit and the hold feature is designed to keep them engaged until it senses motion to disengage) I manually engage/disengage the emergency brake when I...

    Knock sound from rear of CX-5 when cold start and accelerating

    Are you using the Hold feature of the parking brake? if Yes, try disabling to see if this fixes the situation.

    A friendly Bird left a gift on my CX-5.... advice meeded

    Minor compounding/polishing using a swirl remover will be required to correct the clear coat. Hard to tell from the posted pic how deep it goes into the clear coat but if really bad, 3000 grit and then compounding followed by a good sealant/wax may be required. If you don't have a DA or the...

    Brown spots stain on tires

    Comes from driving on dirt or off road. That part of the tire doesn't touch the flat road when driving so it doesn't go away.

    The ONE thing I hate about my 2019 Signature is....

    I agree with the OP. That would be great if Mazda made a way to override the fob or change the design to make the button recessed would be the solution. I didn't see anything in the manual about being able to disable the button. I resorted to putting the fob on a lanyard I keep around my...

    Tire, Wheel, and Wheel Well Cleaning Suggestions?

    Wheel woolies are good for the inside of the barrel but not so practical for the face of the wheel. A Soft bristle brush will work for the face and the wheel woolie can be used in between the spokes. For the wheel wells, pressure washer or garden hose on jet works well on the rear "fur" wheel...

    She Gone...

    Congrats on your new purchase. The trend to move away from cars to SUVs has been what is driving the market but I do understand the wants and needs to move back down to a lower centre of gravity and the lighter weight. Always a bonus when the #'s line up and a low mileage demo lands in your...

    2017~2025 Vehicle protection and mild customizations for 2019 Mazda CX-5 2.5T

    Are you sure about this? At my last service visit last week, I walked the new car lot and was trying to compare the differences between a 19 Sig and GTR. I had problems finding the Signature as I was looking for the little Sg badge on rear deck lid lower left. After not finding any despite...

    Updated USB to enable AA/Carplay and lost turn signals and Climate control blower

    That's a great tip that saves a lot of labor pulling apart the center console.

    CX-5 Lug Nuts

    Are those the factory lug nuts as they appear to be too short for the studs. From the above pics, it looks like the bolt was tightened down and the stud pushed through the top of the lug. If the socket was too short, the lug would just not fully tighten. Normally, Lug nuts should be hand...

    2019 CX-5 Signature vs. Grand Touring Reserve

    Most people are wise to stay away from the white due to it's ease to get dirty. I primarily wear blue jeans and don't really have an issue. Mind you I clean it at least once a month and use conditioner that renews that leather smell. Primary reason I like the white is that in the summer, it's...

    2019 CX-5 Signature vs. Grand Touring Reserve

    I'm torn between the same decision. I like the Red with white leather and also like the additions in the signature. Given the lack of the red/white combination in the Signature, I'll wait it out and see what 2020 offers. Hopefully some of the extra signature bits will trickle down to the GTR or...

    Homelink with Craftsman Garage Door Opener - Won't Work - Help

    Garage door opener could have the memory full with too many remotes programmed to it. Have you tried erasing all remotes from the unit and adding back the original remotes first before trying to add the Homelink?

    tires manufacturing date...

    The actual DOT that shows the date looks different on the tire as it's a plate they change in the mold at time of manufacturing. Compare the DOT code on both sides of the tire. I highly doubt a newly purchased 2017 in 2017 would have tires from 2014 unless someone swapped tires to pull a quick...

    2017~2025 CX5 trunk light G46EV7130A Installation Manual Help

    Looks like the PDF are the templates where you need to mark and cut the plastic for the hole to point the light. Suggest you try and use google translate to try and decode the Japanese. Not sure if there are instructions on how to connect the electrical wires in there.

    1st dumb question of the day

    Your sales guy as part of delivery should have spent some time to go over the features of the car. My Sales guy spent over an hour running through all the features and how to use them. Even transferred the radio station presets over from the old car. The above link is also good to get a quick...
