Hi, wanna confirm with diesel model, that for ALH（Adaptive LED Headlights) we just have to switch the light to auto?
It will auto activate when there is no car + street light around right?

Last time when I pass one specific area, ALH signal on dashboard will light on, and if there is no car, the highbeam will switch on.
But I pass by the same area, ALH signal does not light on at all from my dashboard.

edit:
The only car setting I change is last time I has Lane Keep Assist System (LAS) on.
But now I switch LAS off and only keep Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) on.

Ya, I also think that the Toyo damn noisy. Was thinking to trade in Michelin when I first got the car. But the price expensive, at the end give up the idea.
The noise really noisy
Hilux is much quieter, compare to CX5's toyo.
My toyo reaching 9k km, already can see the front and back tyre thread different, might be a good time to swap.

Why you need to clean the grill? I never clean mine Black color also.

I think current CX5 grill one is really nice. I hope the mazda logo can be flat, like those with radar install type. It will look classier imo.

Ya, thats the one. I though this one should be quite cheap, if it is only the logo, without all the sensor inside it. Pls share it if you found any OEM from taobao etc.

You use vkool? I also no GPS signal inside my mum's vkool tinted car.

edit: ops, just saw your last post regarding the tinted window

Can i know after update, the firmware version?

For me, I will never get tint from the SA. How much?
Better just get outside yourself. For your peace of mind.

I use 3M crystaline it is good.
If branded one, vkool, 3m, llumar, raytech all got their own supporter who said theirs is best
If you getting branded tint, best is check website and go to those authorized shop.

I remove tint from windscreen and tint with 3M, side window I dint change.
Also not recommend to add another layer la. Just ask the tint shop to remove it and tint what you pay for. If they refuse or give any excuse, change another shop.

For my case, those discount voucher they markup the price, then just give you discount.
Good luck hunting

Thanks! mine still 59.xxxx Not sure if my dealer can update or not, the dealer at JB here not so professional.

Just did my 10k km services 2 weeks ago. They told me 1 of my absorber got oil leak when I go collect my car. They will order part and claim warranty for me, so no issue at all. Just need to waste time to go change again.
I myself dint hear any noise also.

Got receipt? 1k & 10k services I dint get any receipt, but I believe my record book got some info like services date etc.
During 1k services, I claim headrest also dint get any receipt.

Ya, Mazda claim warranty no issue, I like it. Other brand (BMW, F you) will always try to pusing first, damn.

Every quarter is unacceptable.
Just a suggestion, If I were to find a reliable car around this price range, I will get altis. Good luck hunting new car

I dint say CX5 not good
I like CX5 very much. The car itself drive well.

As for the headrest, it is not align. So when I sent for 1k services, I show them, the service advisor take a photo. 1 week later inform me I can exchange a new headrest. So everything is good.
I have worst experience with other brand of car.
I dont expect perfect car, esp nowadays car so complicated. As long as it is reasonable and claim warranty easily, I am happy already.

Mine is 2.2D fwd.

I will say 100% it will auto lock. You have to understand what circumstances will cause it not to lock.

1) Key holder moving away from car (around 2 meter away from car) when others passanger not yet close the door.
2) All doors not closed tight when key holder move away from car.
3) You place your key beside to your phone, sometimes it wont auto lock. I suspect is because the phone's wave interfere with the key knob's signal.

Thats all I can think of currently,

I believe the quotation they gave you is just change new tailgate panel. Just go outside paint workshop you know and let them do touch up for you, will be cheaper.
My other car's bumper also same, not worth to change new one, unless you claiming insurance.

As for warranty, dont worry too much. I dont think they will record down, if want to claim warranty just go other SC lo.

You will be amazed by those experienced paint ppl.
Maybe ask friend recommend. I remember this thread few pages ago, got ppl recommend paint workshop.

edit: nvm, found the answer.

Woh, 2.5T, AWD somemore! (I just like AWD, dont care if it is useful or not )

Maybe we will follow taiwan that diesel 2.2 will be discontinued? Replace by turbo engine as top spec.

Just 1/4, too small for sample imo. Somemore yours is new car.

FYI, last time after I pump full tank, I reset the info. Drive a bit then I wait inside the car while engine idle for like 30mins, then my usage become less than 10km/l.
So if you always jam in traffic, I think it is usual.

It seem like I am experiencing this now! Just change engine oil last month, and I notice my usual usage (13.6~13.8km/l) drop (13.1km/l & 13.2km/l) for last 2 refill.
At first I though maybe I unconsciously step harder

engine oil, you meant auto transmission fuel?

Another possibility is I get used to the car, and I step pedal harder nowadays

I mention before, when I did my 1k km services, I told them driver side door panel have rattle sound, exactly same like yours case.
I dint even show them where was it, they still able to solve it too.
Not sure what they did, but I think this is really common problem among all cx5. Better send to them than open up panel yourself
