- Start date
If they are the same as previous generations, DRLs will stay on until you select park or when i-stop disengages while you are in neutral

I fat fingered it, I don't have my 17 yet.
The few times I drove her CX-5, I noticed that her selector was on "on," I preferred auto.
To me, and, I'm certain, my wife as well, this DRL thing isn't a really an issue.

Probably due to the fact it will work properly in Europe

My coming 2017 is US specs, on the way to Germany.
That being said, I was hoping to tool around the German dealers 17s. They said they won't have them until June.

I am sure they will be able to give you tips on how to get them to work separately.
Yes but in reality should be acting separately.
What's the point of having LED DRL's. Might as well just have normal LED headlights with 3 settings since they seem to be on all the time:
- Auto
- Parkers/Low Beam
- On
I am on Android and translated that page. Was referring to the actual 700 page pdf version of the manual about halfway down that page [emoji16]Dude...get an Android.
Nothing 8n the one. Links that might have info the you back to the site.

You don't have an issue on DRLs because you have a 2016 CX-5 Touring with DRLs on reduce-powered halogen high-beams. Now your upcoming US version 2017 CX-5 apparently uses full-powered LED low-beam headlights as the DRL, or part of DRL on GT with additional halo LED Signature DRLs. Using full-powered low beams as DRLs is now illegal in European Union.

You really see me the only person having the issue on this? Read the entire 155 posts and see how many people like this? And count how many posts I have in this thread? It's entire European Union and many other countries who are making headlights as DRLs illegal! In fact, if all the observations are true by those 2017 CX-5 owners, 2017 Mazda CX-5 is the only new vehicle in the US market using full-powered low-beams as the DRLs! This's not in 90's where GM was pushing mandatory DRLs and using low-beams as the DRLs for cheaper cost!
Haha!
People getting upset about a big selling point for a Mazda (LOOKS - ) - haha.
Could have bought a Rav4 if looks didnt matter and wanted better reliability and fit n finish. Haha.
You bought a loaded 17 - joke is on you. Haha!

Absolutely. Most of this thread is just trying to figure out how that are SUPPOSED to work. You are the one ready to file a complaint with the NHTSA. And you've decided not to buy a 17 or 18 now....unless the DRL's are "fixed". A few people are annoyed by how they work...I don't see anyone regretting the purchase... over D R L???

When my dealer was trying to talk me into my 16 GT he was all: "Look at these great DRL's"...
I replied: Why do I care about that...not like I'll ever see them!

HAHA! You're weird Kaps. HAHA Nissan isn't more reliable then Mazda. HAHA Joke... is on you?? What the hell?!?

Have some perspective and stop taking it so personally. It's just DRLs, don't insult us with that Rav4 talk (wink)

Call me foolish but I try to look at the positive side of things to make myself happy. As fbwazoom & joe have pointed out, the DRL behavior does appear to be correct and as intended by design, based on the light bulbs diagram. However shocking/surprising this may be, and while the headlights are arguably stealing the show from the nice looking halo, they might actually make them look even nicer. These daytime headlights possibly invite more head turning to my sparkling new 2017 CX-5. (Disclaimer: the last part is fictitious, I'm not a 17 owner.)
