My 2013 CX5 had the fan run on today. It has done it once before a couple of years ago under identical circumstances (same trip, similar temperature) so is repeatable. Circumstances were: Drive for about 1 hour (everything at operating temp) Ambient temperature about 23C. Aircon on (ECO mode...

Minus 20 degrees is a bit beyond my experience here (Australia). You're probably pushing the limits of the cars design at those temperatures. Like you say, it's not a big issue so probably best to just live with it but keep an eye on it in case it gets worse. I hope it doesn't!

joemon, I don't think that a low battery would cause problems with any displays unless the battery became really low - then the car wouldn't start. I'm not sure which display is giving you trouble - audio/nav or dashboard but either way I'd get it checked by your dealer. It sounds like you have...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. All I can add is that mine definitely goes into a different mode when the battery gets low - when that happens it sets the charge voltage to 14.5v and holds it there until the battery has recovered. That can take a couple of hours or days if the trips aren't...

Well..it's not a precision instrument but should be close enough to indicate what's going on. Incidentally I modified mine to prevent voltage spikes disturbing the reading - that was a problem on my former vehicle which had a noisy alternator. I forgot to mention that my CX-5 is a 2.5l petrol...

I have the exact same plug in meter. Very useful. The 12.6v that you refer to is correct (actually closer to 12.7v when fully charged) but indicates the state of charge only when the battery is unloaded and has had time to settle. I also see 12.1v just after starting. You can get a better...

My CX-5 (July 2013) has an undocumented feature that changes the battery charging voltage depending on the engine load and the battery state of charge. I've seen the battery voltage vary between 12.1 and 14.9v while driving. The higher voltage occurs when decelerating which provides a sort of...

Funny but my Australian CX-5 (built July 2013) has all sockets switched which is a bit annoying, like for the reason above. Anyone know why they build them differently in different countries? I'd really like to find a simple fix to make the centre or rear sockets always on but haven't managed to...

That could be it. The sound seems to be front and centre - not sure if that is where the valve timing actuator is located. It makes sense that the VVT needs to be positioned after the engine is stopped but it seems to take a long time (20-30 seconds). Also, without starting the engine, cycling...

Same Here My 2.5L CX-5 (build July 2013) makes the same sound for about 20 seconds after the igntion is switched off - even if the engine isn't started. There's no intercooler so it isn' that. No fans running either. Doesn't sound like a motor - more like a relay buzzing. Noticed it from day 1...
