Cruise control
- Thread starter jeremy44

Typically I set it for a speed that keeps me in the flow with the other cars so I don't have to keep adjusting it. Or if there aren't really other cars I go for about 4 over the speed limit.
It probably isn't good to set for a long periods during the break in time but after that I find it is a handy way to keep from slowly gaining speed on boring roads. It does get easy to go too fast in modern quieter cars.

i use it every second i get a chance to. from setting it to 60 on the hiway to 37 in town to 26 on surface streets. (small town with watchful cops 
) though my commute is all of 7 minutes 4.9 miles away. i love my CC and in a couple days remote start!!
) though my commute is all of 7 minutes 4.9 miles away. i love my CC and in a couple days remote start!! Please share with me the results of the remote installation. My understanding is that with the CX 5 you will lose one of the two factory fobs for the installation. The other fob will be used along with the new remote fob. You supposedly will need both. The factory fob acting as a "proximity" fob and the new remote fob allowing remote starts. Best Buy shared with me this information and I decided to wait until new software is available that will allow me to keep both factory fobs and in fact only have to use the newer remote fob. If you have found differently then I would like to know the brand and model number of the remote you end up with. I am told only VIPER is making a remote for the CX 5 BUT with the above mentioned issues.

I use it all the time, at speeds as low as 30 (to make sure I don't get a ticket in a 25-mph zone), and as high as 70. Instead of braking, often, i just cancel CC and let the car slow down naturally. Sometimes i don't have to touch the brake pedal at all. I like it, and I've read that using CC is the most fuel efficient way to drive.
Love me some cruise control. I like just cruising through traffic, making slight adjustments + or -. Makes you really understand how strange people drive... they are on the gas one minute... then nodding off the next.
It's funny how two of the three button are redundant though - off/ on and cancel/ resume. They can really just make each of those one button instead of a rocker.

i use it every day. I commute to school every morning which is a 30 min drive and i set it at 67-68 mph. I don't see why it would be a problem except maybe when i'm climbing hills and my gas mileage begins to drop lol. Other then that cruise control is the best!!
Welcome klk15 to mazda247.com
67-68 mph on cruise must return some excellent gas mileage on your CX-5. Have you been measuring MPG?
I actually registered at fuelly.com and i'm currently averaging 31.2 mpg due to driving both city and highway.
