    Anyone experienced mazda cx 5 smart city brake ?

    I've had mine start to kick in a couple of times approaching a stop sign with a car ahead that's starting to pull into the intersection and I'm trying to glide to the line for a stop; first time startled me. It's similar to anti-lock brake engagement.

    If your car has auto trans, put car in N & emergency brake on, push start/stop button -- only engine will turn off. Then shift to P. You will have to press start/stop (no foot on brake) to roll up windows after finishing your radio program.

    Air still comes out of vents when fan is set to ZERO for OFF

    What I find odd is not that there's still some flow from the vents when the HVAC is off, but that it seems to still be cool, even when the outside air is 90+ running through the hot engine compartment.

    DIY How To Disable Daytime Running Lights (instructions)

    One thought has occurred to me, and that is that every attempt I've made has been in a garage, which causes my headlights to come on when switching through the auto position. I guess I'll have to try it outdoors to see if that has any bearing.

    DIY How To Disable Daytime Running Lights (instructions)

    DIY How To Disable Daytime Running Lights (instructions)

    Is it possible these instructions are missing a step? I ask because I tried them without success, but something about Step 7 (confirm DRL setting) seems off. It says verify by releasing the parking brake; if DRL is activated DRL will come on with park brake off and go off when park brake is on...

    Installed Headlight LED DRLs

    I definitely do not want headlight brightness, but I wouldn't want the LEDs to be significantly dimmer than stock. I mean, DRLs are essentially safety equipment, so I wouldn't want to reduce their effectiveness.
