"padlock with image of car repeatedly flashing" ? I don't think that's the rear brake maintenance mode, that's just the regular anti-theft system indicator....I might be wrong for Touring models, not sure, but if activated correctly you should have heard the rear parking brake motors whirling...

just FYI, over the weekend decided to do some routine brake maintenance before winter sets in and they start salting the roads, ie remove any dust, clean rotors, lubricate pads, check pins. After only one year the rotors were basically rusted on to the hubs... The fronts were especially hard to...

Not the same thing but has anyone tried this? Seems a lot easier and cheaper thangoing the harness route...

AWESOME find minnesotaart !!! only $45, you win LOL, that's a bargain, what is the width on the Kia Sorrento steel rims ? 17 x ?? is it like Mazda 17 x 5.5" ?

Wow, good find yrwei52, you are right , this proves we were always suppose to get the T155/90D18 113M , but Mazda just threw in the smaller spare to save money without regard to their customers..... does that $270.69 include the rubber tire?? or just the steel wheel ? I see more and more...

I think Bigtex might be ok, I found this chart online, for rim width 5.5" : minimum tire width is 165mm like the Kumho T121, it's not ideal but acceptable. max tire width allowed is 195mm but might be difficult to find the perfect aspect ratio to match Mazda CX-5. am I missing something?

agreed with everyone else, this is a no brainer, Option 2: New 2017 CX-5 Touring with Preferred Package the reduced noise reduction alone is worth it

you mean Bigtex's picture ? that's the new Bose subwoofer that comes with 2017 CX-5 GT's that new for 2017, 2016 and previous years don't have

WOW, dayam,, that looks sexy, that's the way Mazda should have designed it, still don't understand why they went with the half chromed window design. yours look much better

thx, OEM visors look much better then other aftermarket ones. Oh, BTW, did you need to get new pressure sensors? any issues with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System initializing them ? what did you do with the OEM wheels ?

those look awesome! much better than the OEMs, what brand window wind reflectors did you get, those look really nice very low profile and can hardly tell they are even there unless you look for it. the reflector design flows well with the CX-5 profile.

thanks, I just tried this myself, and it works, you are right, you have to press the start button twice to get it to work. I heard the motor whirling itself back longer in maintenance mode than usual.

see my post #11 above of this thread, dealer is right, there is a maintenance mode for rear electronic parking brakes for 2016/2017, the pistons don't retract by spinning them like previous years they are compressed back BUT have to be in maintenance mode.

for 2016/2017, how do you perform the EPB automatic adjustment ? it doesn't say ? • When the maintenance mode is completed, perform the electric parking brake automatic adjustment. • With the electric parking brake automatic adjustment, the electric parking brake motor gear unit operation...

WHOA, wow I did not know this , good thing Anchorman posted this , agreed ! this is valuable info. so 2016/2017 CX-5's rear brake pistons aren't retracted by turning the grooves clockwise like previous years, have to go into maintenance mode and press back the pistons like the fronts. If...

wait, I don't understand, I thought the rear pistons have to be turned clockwise with the Lisle #28600 tool to retract it ? and it's important for the grooves the end up lined up per Anchorman's PDF's ..... am I missing something ? why does the instructions say not to turn the rear piston if...

can anyone read Japanese ? here's the Japanese 2017 CX-5 owner's manual, if anyone knows what oil to use, they would know, they designed the damn thing LOL https://carmanuals2.com/get/mazda-cx-5-2017-106237

well I just checked myself, right there in the owner's manual, 0W20 is used for fuel economy for USA and Canada (hint hint CAFE), everywhere else use 5w30 (I'm assuming this includes Japan, so even Japanese users are using 5w30 ?)

to be fair, batmancx did admit himself it was stupid and he wasn;t basing his decision on Wal-mart shelves, he was just pointing out an observation...... don;t give automotive engineers to much credit... these are the same ones who designed the CX-9 transfer case and the CX-9 water pumps...
