11 HIDDEN Mazda TIPS and TRICKS You HAVE TO TRY!

Check out these 12 hidden Mazda features you need to know about in this video!

OK, so full disclosure — they're not really "secret", but some of these are buried deep in the owner's manual, making it annoying to find them. To me, that makes them kind of hidden if you don't read the owner's manual in its entirely, like a car geek like me lol.

Luckily, you can just watch this video to learn all about it. And, they're mostly available on all 4th gen Mazdas — not just the Mazda 3!

Also, credit given to the following 2 YouTube channels as well as the Mazda 3 owner's manual for these ideas: @RobbieFerreira and @CARDIAXPLAYS.

Edit: Hey everyone — I've been getting reports in the comments that some of these tips may or may not work on certain models and in certain regions. I should have done better research! Please feel free to rip me apart in the comments and let me know if these do or don't work on your car! It was not my intention to mislead anyone.

Also...I faffed up and accidentally shot this video in 720p. I won't let that happen again lol..I'll make sure to provide 4K video from now on!

If I missed anything or made a mistake, please leave a comment below!

With memory seats (that includes the mirrors and HUD settings), you can also program each key fob to its own setting as well. Same procedure, just press the fob unlock button instead of the 1 or 2 memory button.

I love the tilt side mirror feature. Nice to be able to see the curb when parking to avoid scratching the rims. I wasn’t aware of the feature that allows you to roll the windows down from the fob. That’s pretty cool! I’ll have to try it out. Funny, I was going to search how to deactivate the fob I’m not currently using to save the battery. Thanks for the tips! Stay warm!
✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Is there a way to enable the touch screen in motion on 2021 Model or it is just for newer? I think I don't have that setting checkmark...

[isabelyager]

Thanks for the information because I recently purchased Mazda CX 30 2024 and all these gadgets I don’t understand them so thanks for the info.

How do you take the power saving off the key fob ?😭

[peirs]

Thanks! I absolutely hate the adaptive cruise - I find it puts me in more dangerous situations than without it (i.e. on roads curving left when I'm in passing lane, and it picks up someone in the right lane and slams on the brakes)

2021 CX-5 carbon edition auto. I put a new battery in the key fob days ago. The windows using the fob don't go down? Also i seen you can start the engine with the key fob? Neither of these work? When putting a new battery in do I need to do anything different? Everything else works though. I see this is 5 months ago, i'm late for this.

For a manual, I think I have heard that if you put it in neutral before you turn it off then you can still access the accessories. 😊

Just one more hidden feature.
I’ve test drove the new 2024 CX-5, and all who have found the steering to be heavily weighted to steer. I have the perfect solution, Turn OFF the traction control. Now you can use 1 finger to drive your car in tight places. This is also true for my 2019 CX-3.

All these things were you talking about I had it on my 2009 Volkswagen Golf !

very informative video, I just picked up a Mazda 3 Hatch as well this year! thanks for this video of tips & tricks. cheers

Another tip, I learned that you don't need to use the key fob button to unlock the car. While having the key fob in pocket, you can reach in to grab the door handle and that door will unlock

The 2021 US version of the Mazda 3 doesn't have the option to roll the windows down with your first tip. Trying to do that disabled my remote and the car was saying no key to even start the car.

Great Useful Tips!!!
Wished they Made it in an AWD 6 spd but I settled for the Front Drive 6 spd Pretty Stoked!

I have a 2 year old manual Miata and none of these tips apply. By the way, drives me crazy when people lock cars and the indicators flash which is great, but do you need to have the horn sound as well?

[FreakyKiky]

A lot of those things don't work on models 2019-2022. I have a CX-30 2021 and it does not roll down the windows via key fob, it does not have touchscreen and so on.. But the key fob battery saving mode works fine, did this right after buying the car. Also, the mirror tilting works depending on a trim level, also a lot of thing are region dependant..

[buffteethr]

Thank you for the tips. I just got my first Mazda, and it is a Mazda3 manual.

[Kayla_alsinax]

Does the reserve mirror exists on the 2024 Cx5-5. I’m having issues setting it. Did it work for anyone else?

[jhawkins]

Is there a way to turn off the honking when locking /unlocking your mazda? I have a 2024 cx-50
