    1 tap, 3 blink turn signal

    It is available and can be activated by the user. Just go into the setup screen and I believe it is under the Lights category. I did that for my Touring without the tech package. There are some threads on this feature in one of this CX5 forums.

    All Weather Mats...Which?

    I have the OEM all weather mats for the last 11 months and quite happy with it. It fits perfectly and the only con is it does not cover the dead pedal area. And they are quite cheaper than the other two brands, about $80 discounted from online Mazda dealers.

    Reason for US diesel delay

    Excerpt from BBC interview with Tokio Ishino, staff manager for powertrain development at Mazda: In the Mazda 6, Ishino explained, a low compression ratio allows perfect ignition timing. Combustion only happens when fuel and air are fully mixed in the chamber before they ignite. There are...

    For those having Transmission Issues with their CX-5

    On my CX5 with Feb 2012 manufacture date and 6000 miles, I had a similar transmission incident this week. Going over a RR crossing on a wet day, the TCS lights suddenly came on and then the engine races to 3500 rpm, but the vehicle will not move faster than 25-30 mph. The low tire pressure light...

    Should be getting a CX-5 tomorrow! New Mazda owner with a couple questions.

    I noticed that your new CX5 has a frame/bracket for license plate attached to the front. Did it come from Mazda or did the dealer install it? There was no front license plate frame/bracket on my CX5 delivered in March in Texas. Did anyone else taking deliveries recently get the front license...

    Mazda survey - pricing insight on future changes to the cx5

    I got the survey this weekend too. It appears to be a marketing study by Mazda to judge what options the present owners prefer and are willing to shell out for those options. The $2800 extra for diesel option seems to be steep. Of course they also listed the options of turbo charging and EV. May...

    Anyone purchase a prepaid maintenance package?

    I did receive 3-year maintenance package from my dealer when I took delivery of my CX5 in March. It was a free offer. Mazda did sent me the ID card for it and it is good at all Mazda dealers. It offers the required maintenance service every 7500 miles or 6 months and must be used within 2500...

    What car did you trade in for your CX-5?

    I traded in my 2005 BMW X3 with 3.0L engine. It was a good SUV, but the 14 mpg in my daily commute with premium gas is what prompted me to look into Mazda CX5. Except for the acceleration and some handling compared to X3, I don't miss much in my new CX5 Touring.

    Oil filter and drain plug Thanks for showing the location of oil filter. I tried find it from the top of engine compartment with no luck and the bottom of the engine bay was sealed.

    any owner loyalty rebates?

    I picked up my Silver CX5 Touring last Saturday from a Houston dealership. Since I was not a previous Mazda owner, I did not get any loyalty reward. But they did give me 3 years maintenance (oil change and tire rotations) free of cost for the asking.
