The passenger side airbag is always off when nothing is in the passenger seat. This is the way it is designed per the manual. I suspect it is designed this way so if your airbags must deploy and no one is in the passenger seat you dont have to pay to have that airbag replaced.

Actually I did some more research on the genuine mazda cargo net. The instructions specify that the cargo net should not be used to secure loads of more than 30 lbs "WARNING: OBJECT(S) RESTRAINED NOT TO EXCEED 30 lbs. (13.6 kg)" So I guess Im back to the question of how you would per owners...

Fair enough. I too have a OEM cargo net but would be hard pressed to get 2 65L packs under it unless there is some adjustment on the net I am missing. Could always try and rig up something with paracord.

How is that accomplished? Its straight out of the manual. I usually just throw my backpacks and gear into the back and go. The four anchor points in the back seem like they would not be much help securing 50 lbs of gear since they only support 20 kilograms of force. I might be wrong but it...

How to tell when sales is lying? My sales person said they would upgrade my 2017 for free when Apple Car Play came out in late 2017. Needless to say CP did not come out in 2017 & they are not offering me the upgrade for free. How do you tell when a salesperson is lying? When they open there...

They listed it a "Under Warranty" and the price was right $0. Im guessing as long as its under 3 year warranty? Had schedule 2 maintenance, state inspection sticker and tires rotated. Dealership had me out of there in 1.5 hours. Scheduling the appointment was a bit of a trick. All of them were...

First change. Car purchased with 1 mile on it. Over the course of 11 mo's did around 4,000 miles.

Thanks will reset. Only reason I ask is have heard Moly breaks down over time. I have a hard time reconciling maintience every 5 months if Ive only put 2k mileage. I drive it every day but Im not a road warrior.

I took my car to dealership for maintenance today & needed inspection sticker. Its 2017 11 months old with 4,000 miles. Noticed when they reset my dash maintenance alert set it to 5 months or 5,000 miles. REALLY? In 5 months it will only have 2,000 more miles on it. Is this really necessary or...

Took my 2017 in for service today to a dealer work order says "update 59.00.446, 59.00.545A" 1. None of my custom settings on infotainment system/car seem to have changed. Is this normal? 2. Anybody know if there are any surprises in this update I should be aware of? Thanks

Here is an interesting observation. I live in a city and my XM is fine. When I did road trips on the interstates to the country noticed the same incident you are reporting. Seemed strange to me especially since there were no buildings or rainy skys to cause interference. Went into radio...

If you select outside air while in auto mode it sticks after a restart. So auto is not picking if it should be auto or recirc air IMHO. @29 f while in auto mode light for AC still did not come on. Going back to review the manual. My understanding is while in auto car should pick optimal settings.

Thank you. Question answered! I actually like CX-5 auto climate but Ive never owned a BMW. Mazda's does have some twists and turns. My understanding was the car picked if the climate should be from outside air or recirculate based on temp conditions, humidity ect. This is a luxury car for me...

Headed back out to run errands will punch auto air and see if AC light comes on. Its almost 20f here now. Still curious if Auto should switch between outside air and recirculate or do I need to do that manually. So funny I have a 500 page manual and still cant figure it out.

My mechanical ability is 0. However Im big on reading manuals and my understanding is AC light should always be on when in auto mode. When I didnt see it thew me off.

Fair enough temp is suppose to go to balmy 55 next week will report back. On the recirculate air I had to rewrite parts of that. I did not write that up correctly so that part of the post has been edited. Is Auto suppose to change between outside and recirculate or have I been a moron by not...

Auto Climate Control: I run auto climate control 99% of the time. So even if its 32F I expect to see AC activated on the display. The last few days its been 1f here and I have noticed that the AC display is NOT coming on even though have temp set to auto. Have reset to AUTO multiple times no AC...

I love my 2017 CX-5 GT and my sole decision to buy of course was not AA. However it really chaffs my tookus when the sales person lied straight to my face and said it will be a free upgrade in the next couple of months. That was 8 months ago. Looked him straight in the face and said Ive been...

Mine has activated twice. Real world reminder not to follow too close. Im sure the car has it calculated out what the breaking distance needs to be. Both times it was when the car in front of me was making a right hand turn. Do they not teach to accelerate through the the turns anymore. Anyway...

Nav on cx-5 seems to be running slower after update. Did they update every street in NA? edbern where would find version of maps?
