how does the auto handbrake work? it's supposed to auto-activate whenever we release the seatbelt right? sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesnt. kinda weird.

Hmm...didn't know there's such function cause I always make sure I pull the hand brake when I release my seat belt

I did encountered this issue after change battery, my case was the meter suddenly trigger missing key sign when I stop by to pick some back passenger which require open back side door then close back... so far it only happen twice...after continue to drive for while then the missing key sign gone.....did old SC but sound like they also not sure and only mention it could be battery issue hahah!!..

FYI, new CX5 in coming months will be included with Power Boot and this had been confirmed by my colleagues fren who work in Inocom as they are current preparing for that... so expected the add on price after SST might include power boot!!!! sound good news too for those that miss out the earlier none GST boat...

If power boot with high adjustment then good..... if normal one, for me useless, need to care alot during parking in low ceiling basement parking

Not sure....lets wait and see...

Works as thus...
Seat belt on while gear in P mode... Simply shift to D and depress pedal, it'll auto-disengage and you can drive off. I can't remember if after driving around, then parked.. Switching back to P..if it'll automatically reactivate the electric parking brake again. I think it does, will test for this tomorrow.

Seat belt off while gear in P mode... Shifting to D will not auto-disengage the hand brake. Flick or push down also no effect.. Car will not move.. Locked. Must shift back to P, manually disengage the parking brake, shift back to D and car will allow you to drive without belt.. Until crosses 20km/h, doors auto-lock and the warning beeps kick in..

EPB only auto trigger when you are activating Auto Hold and then you unfasten your seat belt.

Try to replace another battery...or reposition the battery...logically should be low on battery and the car unable detect FOB which lead to unable unlock/lock the car and key not in car while engine running

thanks for the sharing and feedback

i have replaced to new batt...now working ok but need to monitor a while first

i was so afraid it may be faulty FOB...that means have to spend few hundreds to get new FOB

Hope is not FOB as some user share before which cost RM800 each !!!

Bro I think u compare to wrong car. You should consider between BMW X5 and Audi Q5.

CX-5 is different game

Drove my Cx5 for almost a month.

So far everything is alright. But notice a few cons..

1. My door leather wrap get a layer of whitish thingy when i rest my right arm.
2. The media control piano black panel is dust collectors, no dare to wipe it with cloth.
3. sometimes exiting a corner, it will probably use 3th or 4th gear, which makes the car feel heavy and slow. (2.0gls)

Besides all that, touch wood no kruk kruk sound when driving over humps..

1. Yep - Wipe more frequently or do leather polishing?
2. Yep - Wipe with micro fiber cloth or cover with those carbon fibre panel
3. Yep - Sluggish when slow down and pick up so I'll just drift along corners since it's a heavy car with GVC so it's pretty good hahahaha

Actually i haven't wash/polish the interior since i got the car...

Will the micro fiber cloth able to clean them without scratching them? I am thinking to buy Cyber Clean blob..

Agree, next time i will drift tat corners...

Aiya, just wipe la. If scratch just buy those carbon sticker and paste on it.

Yes cornering a bit sluggish, I will tekan and pek the corner faster.

Haha..cannot la...i like that piano black finishing...match my exterior color..

Noted, willl tekan more entering corners...

Oh ya, Jet Black ho....

Someone said using the soft gel type to stick the dust, or something like that.

I dunno la, mine got hair line scratches. Work of art.

I went up to Genting on sport and manual mode. Not bad the cornering capability.

During uphill you let the gearbox decide the gear for you or you go for "manual" using the + / -?

I used manual +-

5 persons on board.

Power was sufficient for NA 2.0
