DRL's?

[Jman136]

Hello again!

Does this vehicle have DRL's? I have messed with the lighting, and my headlights keep turning on when I am driving. Should my light settings be high or low?

It's annoying, and I'm not sure how to just run DRL's.

Yep your 2017 CX-5 has this US/Canadian special unfortunately. For some very strange reason Mazda North American Operations and Mazda Canada have decided to pair your headlights with LED Signature accent strips to serve as DRLs whereas 2017 CX-5's sold in other regions don't have such DRL setup with headlights on all the time. In fact we've never seen any vehicles with LED accent strips also using headlights to serve as DRLs in recent years! As the result we've seen new 2017 CX-5 owners keep asking the same question like this 32-page、469-post long thread:

2017 CX-5 drl question

Other than turning vehicle default DRL setup to off by yourself, the best way is to force MNAO changing this unnecessary DRL setup. You 2017 CX-5 owners should contact MNAO's Customer Experience Center to voice your opinion. With enough complaints hopefully they'll come up with a better solution to "unpair" headlights from DRL system like the usual DRL setup found on 2016(.5) CX-5 GT with LED Signature accent strips!

FYI OP: The DRL is the pictures above is what we get here in Australia on our top 2 models.

Worth the effort to save led low headlights life span.[emoji383]

It's just a work around. I think it defeats the auto features in doing so

That's the point. One shouldn't have to resort to this as it might also affect other functionalities

Ya, if only DRL function was an led strip like on the ND mx5 it would be so much simple

Just jealous. I could try and see what the Germans (MazdaDe)can do to our CX-5, but I have a hard time even getting them to do a dang oil change.

They sound like Samsung Australia. You buy an overseas Samsung phone and try and get Samsung Australia to look at it let alone fix it, they will have nothing to do with it.

Don't worry. The procedure you'd just done only set the vehicle DRL function to off. You only lost DRL function but nothing else. Auto headlight function still works.

Cool. Do the accent lights stay on all the time? That's really all I want (with the normal functionality of the auto headlights)
