  • Does every new car come with an owners manual? Yes. Does anyone read it? Not really LOL. Every time we get a new car, we always want to know what are they hiding? What are the hidden features buried deep in that owners manual, or even NOT in the owners manual! Dealerships will ALWAYS leave out some features that your car comes with, so hopefully a couple of the ones that we have learned since Mac got his CX-50 so far can help you guys out! These are the Hidden Features, that apply to probably most New Mazdas!

    On the power windows, sometimes they lose the ability to fully open or close automatically when giving the button an extra little press past the "click". If your windows no longer respond to the "all the way up" or "all the way down" feature you can do this to reprogram them. Press the down button at the driver's door, holding the switch down for an additional 5 seconds once it's all the way down. Then pull the button up, holding it for an additional 5 seconds once it comes all the way up. Give the button the little extra press down and it should be good to go! Works for every Mazda I've tried it on all the way back to 2007. I blew a salesperson's mind about a month ago by doing this. They had been working on this 2016 CX-9 trying to fix this issue. They replaced all 4 motors and all of the window switches on the car with no luck. Over $1500 in parts from the dealer. Knowledge is power!!

    I just realized you left out the feature where you can program your seat, mirrors, & heads up display settings into your key fob by pressing set on the memory seat and press unlock on the remote. Every time you open your door all your settings adjust for you depending on which programmed key fob you're holding.

    nah, the best use of adaptive cruise control is in traffic. I found that the most stressful part of traffic is constantly pressing the break then the gas, then the break and so on. Setup adaptive cruise and let the car do all the stop and go. So much less stress. Keep your foot ready to strike but enjoy the ride.

    • @Varekai0723

      Mazda's adaptive cruise control is too sensitive, even at the least sensitive setting, so it's annoying to use.

    • @JoeVanKuiken
      @JoeVanKuiken Před měsícem +4

      I've found that using adaptive cruise control in traffic leaves too much of a gap between me and the car in front. Idiots see it as an opportunity to cut in between us and then my car nose-dives because it senses a new object too close in front of me.

    • @MelissaDuffySacredBreath
      @MelissaDuffySacredBreath Před měsícem

      @@Varekai0723 I'm supposed to have adaptive cruise but so far I am manually having to adapt it on my steering wheel...up a few miles and down a few miles...way too often... Now that I watched this video I'm going into settings again. Last time I checked the only thing I found under safety settings was Blind Spot Monitoring...nothing else...so will be on the hunt. Cruise control is so satisfying when there aren't cars slowing at random times and driving erratically in front of me...living in a rural area makes it possible to use it more than in a more densely populated area.
      Also, one thing I have noticed both on my Hyundai Accent SE and on my Mazda 3 is that my cruise control does NOT work on very short, hilly areas that go up and down like a roller coaster. After setting cruise speed to 50 which is the speed limit the darn thing starts giving the car too much gas as I climb the small hill and gets to about 53 and then as it starts downhill ends up going faster and faster getting up to 63 and then hits the next hill. Why is this?

      If it’s rush hour and you’re trying to maintain a small gap to the car in front of you to prevent them from cutting in, you’re probably not (or shouldn’t be) using adaptive or traditional cruise control. If traffic is lighter and you’re still getting cut-ins, make sure you adjust the ACC’s headway (following distance) to minimum - that should help, although cut-ins can still occur by the more aggressive drivers.

    One of my favourite features is if you have heated seats, you can link your heated seats to your climate control. So when you remote start or get in the car and start it in the winter it will automatically turn on the heated seats! It sets them to the appropriate level based on temps inside and outside the vehicle. It will gradually reduce the temp and turn it off after a while as well. If there is no passenger detected it will not run their heated seat, but as soon as they sit down and click in their seat belt it will turn on their heated seat automatically as well if needed.

    For most new vehicles you don't have to fully disable the adaptive cruise control in the infotainment. Let me blow your mind. When you press the cruise control button to turn it on. Press and hold it and it will automatically switch to regular speed hold instead of adaptive. To switch back to adaptive, just turn cruise control off and turn it back on again. :) I would love to see your reactions to this!

I wouldn't mind using it more often if it braked smoother on the highway. You can't even merge left to pass someone without the radar spotting the upcoming car in the right lane and then braking heavily. 🙄

    -Turn off auto folding mirrors: Side mirrors will remain out/open, even after exiting the vehicle. (Can still fold mirrors manually via mirror buttons) *I highly recommend turning auto folding mirrors off during the winter season.
    -Hidden VIN: Not really a feature - The VIN is hidden underneath the passenger floor mat, rather than displayed in the windsheild like most vehicles.
    -Taco Holder: There is a flip-down taco holder located above the rear-view mirror, next to the overhead lights. 🌮

    I don't understand why people don't like adaptive cruise. It is super handy and I miss it when I drive my vehicles that don't have it.
    On road trips I set it for 5-10 over the speed limit and let it keep pace with cars ahead of me. I also use it in town because I have a small distracting child. This gives me an edge when someone decides to cut into my lane while trying to figure out why my child is freaking out.

      It's an issue of having a ton of traffic and having people get just past you and then move into your lane with not even a car's length gap. Some Smart Cruise systems will literally slam on the brakes which is not only annoying and a pain in the ass but a safety issue and can cause a rear end collision if the person behind you doesn't have a good following distance. My old 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD did it when someone would move in front of me and in Utah on I-15 in traffic that was a big problem. I turned the smart Cruise off pretty often. My 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited is much better and doesn't slam on the brakes but rather just coasts until the gap is what I have it set at. My recent trip from Wichita to Sioux Falls was a great example.

    • @zkiller195
      @zkiller195 Před rokem +11

      It's a different car, but I hate the adaptive cruise on my 2018 Accord. Even if you set it to the closest following distance, it leaves too much space, so people cut in front of you nonstop. As a result, it ends up being very busy on the gas and brakes. It's a much more leisurely drive if I use standard cruise control and just turn it off in high traffic situations.

    My last four cars have been Mazdas... an '07 CX-7, a '12 CX-9, an '18 CX-9, and now a '22 CX-9. I stumbled across the window secret, thinking it was some kind of malfunction, by hitting the unlock button only a couple times in the CX-7, happily finding out that it was a normal function. The 2012 CX-9 also had this ability, but was told in the 2018 and my new '22, that it was no longer a thing. 😒 I loved that function... I'm so happy to find this video. I'm going to try that the next time I go outside. 😊
    My 2018 CX-9 had a touchscreen display. When we bought this new car, the salesman told us they took that feature away... so stupid, IMO. Going to try out the android auto trick here, too.... hoping it works. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

      I love it too. Makes road trips at least half as tiring as before. Unfortunately Mazda doesn't have an effective version of this, but check out a newer Toyota with "Lane Centering" as well, it will also keep your car in the correct lane while cruise control is enabled, so all you have to do is keep your hand touching the wheel, and watch the road for anything sudden or unexpected where you'd have to suddenly intervene, but otherwise it makes road trips extremely easy to pull off. Other brand shave this too, but the only one I can vouch for personally is the effectiveness of the Toyota systems. Renting a RAV4 or Camry with unlimited miles included for your next road trip is a suggestion I'd give you if you're curious about it

    I have a 22 Acura MDX. It has the roll down of windows & Opens the sunroof by 2 clicks of the Unlock button, the second click is held for as long as you want. You can release it early and it will stop rolling the windows. Then I hit the Remote Start button, which starts the A/C in summer. Great feature, if the car is in "reach" of those signals. The other features of the Mazda are also included and then some. Tilt Down side mirrors is a valuable feature, especially parking by curbs in city areas. I'm an Old Timer .... I always read the Manuals. I want to know all the features of my car. However, Vignettes like this are very helpful to bring the info to the Masses. THX

    Engine Stop/Start: Not sure this is hidden, but definitely different than other makes: the CX-50 stop/start uses hydraulic pressure to engage the system, its not mechanical. Saves wear and tear on the starter and battery, but the feature is inconsistent since the driver doesn't know when the vacuum pressure is at a point to engage stop/start

    New to Mazda, Tommy 2 days ago. Not sure if this is trim related, but if you are in manual mode, you can change gears by pressing two buttons on the back of your steering wheel, behind your left and right wheel spokes.. So like paddle shifters, but button shifters instead.

    Adaptive cruise was a lifesaver on road trips but it can freak out if somebody cuts you off. Most cars let you adjust sensitivity. The thing I always turned off though was lane keep. I had a VW Passat and it almost crashed me because it misread lane markings I guess and tried to swerve me into the opposite lane.

    TL;DW:
    1. 3 Unlock clicks and 1 long Unlock click - opens all windows.
    2. Apple CarPlay touchscreen on all the time. When you go to pair and select the "Touchscreen in Motion for All Devices." setting.
    3. Leave foot on brake. Press button on shifter. Then turn off the car. The screen stays on for 15 minutes.
    4. You can disable Mazda Radar Cruise Control and make it a standard cruise control from the settings.
    5. There's a click button when pressing brake all the way in. Mazda says better not hit it. And he said some BS about shifting I don't understand.
    6. In Reverse gear, the mirror can tilt down.

    Also if you’re in manual mode and go WOT but don’t click the kickdown it won’t downshift, if you do click it it’ll drop to the lowest gear and auto shift for you. Nice for when you’re making a quick pass and don’t want to click from 6th to 2nd or 3rd.

    That trick that you did with the remote for the windows, if you did the same thing but hit the lock button instead?
    It puts the remote into sleep mode to save the battery. (It will still lock and unlock the vehicle but it won’t start the vehicle, not unless you put the remote to the start/stop button.
    Another: if you have the 360 camera, you can access it at any speed. This comes in very handy for when squeezing between a car and a curb when making a right (in Vegas, we have enough room to fit two full size vehicles in the right lane, given that they have some form of road adequate do so)
    Also comes in handy at drive-throughs so you don’t curb rash your wheels

I believe one time I did something with the turn signal stalk and they turned off or maybe that was the headlights? I also know that you can disable them in the settings.
    I think your number three was how to leave the info screen on when turning the car off with the auto trans but what about the manual trans? I know that when the car is off, you can hit the start button twice without depressing the clutch or brake pedal for an automatic.
