    A statement from Mazda about emissions

    Did you read the article? That is 40 times over the US norm, not Euro5/6. The article states "The surprising finding for us was that even the Volkswagen engines were polluting 35 per cent less than other comparable cars". As for Ford's position in the picture, I agree that looks like that at...

    A statement from Mazda about emissions

    The problems I have with this test (as with many others) is that there is no information whatsoever on what was actually tested under which conditions. That cars (all cars) emit more than in a lab setting though is not the issue. It is concerning that Mazda seems to be anything but "the...

    A statement from Mazda about emissions

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Winter wheels off, summer wheels on. When cleaning the rims, I found a couple of balancing-weights where missing. Never had that happen to me before. So, back to the balancing machine next season change!

    19" winterbanden- goed of slecht?

    The 19" drive a lot firmer, which is something I couldn't appreciate - the car is pretty firm as it is. That is for summer- as well as winter setup. Now, I guess you will be purchasing an extra set of rims too? If so, swapping from summer to winter-tires (or back) takes just half an hour...

    Electric hum sound when car is in 'ON' position.

    Nah, what you're hearing are these guys, warming up: (okay, these guys are from the old MX-3 V6 but hey, I guess they're in the CX-5 too!)

    Loud road noise...Is that normal?

    What are you driving on, concrete blocks? It sounds a bit like the old German freeways... not good IMHO.

    Enable rearlights with Daylight Running Lights?

    Talked to another local dealer earlier today. He says the combination DRL + parkinglights is not allowed according to local law and not even possible on my (Xenon-light equipped) model. He has no knowledge of the requested feature (DRL + rearlights) either and told me it is mandatory only for...

    Enable rearlights with Daylight Running Lights?

    I'm from the Netherlands, Europe. Same car, different regulations. But these kind of things tend to be configurable worldwide - one type of software to serve several markets. My own dealer can't or won't do it, he has no pre-MY15's cars and won't invest the time to investigate (he's a Mazda...

    Enable rearlights with Daylight Running Lights?

    Bummer. That was quite different with my previous cars. Since the functionality is mandatory since January 1 2015 by EU law, I try my luck with the European dealer network. Chances are they'll still have some unsold 2014 models that need to be updated before selling them and thus have the means...

    Enable rearlights with Daylight Running Lights?

    Yes we do. It's called "Multiplex Communication System" in the workshop manual. Again, I have "Off", "Low beam" and "High beam". With "Off" (or automatic if there's enough ambient light), the DRL is on but no other lights. When either ambient light levels dip below the low threshold or one...

    Enable rearlights with Daylight Running Lights?

    Rewire? That would be silly; modern cars control lighting through their CANbus-systems and I know the European brands (including but not restricted to Citroen, Peugeot, VW, Audi, Volvo etc.) allow this feature to be set through OBD. I have no parking lights, I can choose between DRL, low beam...

    Infotainment update

    Nice try but no cigar I bet. First off the bat: TomTom is not the designer of the infotainment system, they only provide the navigation software. Hardware may or may not be designed by TT, but that also is restricted to the navigation part. The rest of the infotainment (audio, phone, SMS, voice...

    What did the CX-5 replace?

    Prolly the odd one out: Citroen DS3 THP. Fast little bugger it was! Traded it for the CX-5 because it was kind'of a driver-license hazard ;).

    Enable rearlights with Daylight Running Lights?

    Does anybody know if it's possible to enable the rear lights together with the DRL's? This is mandatory for EU-spec cars produced after 2014, but I would like to have the same functionality on my 2014 CX-5 too...
