I purchased a Mazda 3 less than a week ago, been wading through the manual and too many videos trying to find out how to turn on the Operating System Screen. I am so glad I found this video. I have such a learning curve, given my old car was a 2005. Thank you !

Found this little trick by mistake on my 2015 CX5. You can use the voice prompt to "turn on audio" but you can not turn it off. I mistakenly said, "Change mode turn off audio" and it worked!

Tip 1.

Always make sure your oil is clean and fresh.

Variable timing valve Will go shizzz if you dont change enough!

A Mazda needs good lubrication, and cannot function with a dirty inside!

Press the window down button.

# 14b, double click the door button to unlock all doors. Basically click again in less than 2 seconds of the first click. This works better for me because I don't have to worry about all doors getting unlocked with a single click every time.

This is a great video. Thank you. I bought a CX-9 last week and just finished reading the manual. I discovered a handful of interesting features that I wouldn't have found if I hadn't read the manual, and I was going to make a short video about them. A few of the same things are here. Thanks again.

WOW! Mazda Dave, I bought my 2015 Mazda 3 touring New and I love it... especially the Boe speakers! But your video is just so awesome. What a treasure of usable knowledge. I only use full synthetic oil, and my Mazda dealership doesn't like to put an oil change sticker for over 5, 000 miles. Synthetic is a solid 7-8, 000 miles. Now I was able to change the reminder time. I now have it set at 7, 500. So thank you 😊

The cluster dimmer also affects the infotainment screen brightness night mode...all the way right keeps everything at the brightest setting...1 click left allows the infotainment screen to dim when the lights are turned on

Thanks Mazda Dave I would've never found any of these on my own, I literally have been driving with frosted over side view mirrors for the last 3 years!

Had my car for 4 months before realising today I could get texts on screen. Cheers!

Oh my god, I drove 2 new Mazda’s and my biggest complaint was the gas pedal, it felt like it was broken at full throttle. The dealer people had no idea what or

I retired and bought a 2017 mazda 6. Mainly because of the display unit. Fast forward 3 years and the display unit doesn't work anymore. I have over 36, 000 so its not covered. Replacement cost $1500. There needs to be a recall on this unit. Mazda has totally let me down.

The only thing you have incorrect there is the ignition button cycling.it is press once for accessory plus a second time for full on and then a third time for off again.

You had mistakenly said press once for fall on us again for accessory press 3 for off again. Your step 1 and step 2 are reversed as you hadn't said that.

Hi Mazda Dave, I've had my Mazda from new for almost 3 years and since I've had it my sat nav keeps taking me in the wrong direction so much so that I have to use my phone. I'm very very disappointed with this navigation system and based on this I wouldn't recommend these cars to anyone. I've reported to the mazda dealers where I purchased it but they said they can't find a fault on the day the car was being serviced and that I should do an upgrade. I've done an upgrade either right or wrong and it still takes me in the wrong direction. I'm sick of it.

Don't reset your tire pressure monitor unless you know there's no problem. It could go off because you just had the tires rotated. It could also go off because a tire has a leak. Both have happened to me.

A tip that I don't recommend using...
How to turn off your engine without turning off the infotainment system. Keep your foot on the brake pedal with the transmission in Drive or Neutral (rather than Park) and press the Start button to turn only the engine off. You can then shift into Park. This is dangerous to do as, if your foot comes off the brake, you could end up moving with little to no steering. Use the parking break as well if you're going to do this.

2 points worth noting... #1, there is no #3 in your list. #2, for the on screen test, you say "once", but the screen says "ounce"... you mean the first.

Thank you, I have a 2018 CX5 Grand Touring and never knew how to turn on the heated mirrors, but I live in central Arizona, so chances are I'll never use it. Still, it's nice to know! I also enjoyed your other tips!
