Mazda Cx5 2017 Owner's Manual

2017 MAZDA CX-5

DOES DRIVING MATTER?

Does a long, winding road or an empty freeway on

Sunday morning matter if the car you’re in doesn’t take

advantage of the moment?

Does safety, technology, efficiency or even beauty matter,

if a car doesn’t feel right in your hands?

If you build Mazdas, driving is what matters most.

That’s why everything we do makes driving better.

Like safety technology that inspires confidence.

Engine technology that makes our cars and SUVs more

fuel-efficient. Yet still responsive.

And designs that capture motion, even when the car isn’t moving.

What’s better than a great driving car?

A car company that won’t build anything less.

MAZDA. DRIVING MATTERS

®

CRAFTED TO INSPIRE.

ENGINEERED TO BE DRIVEN.

It began with an unrelenting passion for driving. Only then could

we start to craft the new 2017 Mazda CX-5. With an unwavering

belief that there is no “good enough.” That a vehicle should be an

extension of you, the driver. And, that while the CX-5 remains one

of the critics’ favorites, we’re never satisfied with accepting the

status quo. We will always keep looking for ways to improve upon

what’s been accomplished. This ethos is translated into

every vehicle we make.

The newly restyled and refined 2017 Mazda CX-5 is unlike any

other CUV. Without sacrificing exceptional driving dynamics, the

carefully crafted and refreshed CX-5 achieves the impossible:

the perfect unity of versatility, spaciousness, innovation and up

to an EPA-estimated 31 highway MPG.1 There have been over 250

improvements made to the new Mazda CX-5 — inside and out. And you

may not even be able to see them. From every angle, every aspect of

this capable CUV has been improved to make driving better.

INSPIRED DESIGN. KODO: “SOUL OF MOTION”

To imbue the dynamic movement of the KODO: “Soul of Motion” design language into

every Mazda vehicle, artisans and craftsmen created automotive icons that meet

extraordinary levels of aesthetic pleasure.

Mazda’s chief clay modeler, Norio Terauchi, adopts a harmonious creative process using

human touch to shape and develop the look of a vehicle during the clay modeling stages.

While computers are invaluable tools, Norio explains that exceptional design is achieved

through touch. And feeling.

Allowing our visionaries to change the smallest crease or curve to deliver optimal

proportions—and ultimately, a Mazda—is what it means to never stop challenging. It’s how

we strive to craft cars that are not only works of art, but essentially make driving better.

UNIQUELY CRAFTED PAINT THAT ONLY

SKILLED CRAFTSMEN COULD CREATE.

Our newest signature paint, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, is crafted

from the original Soul Red Metallic—with a desire to achieve an even

higher level of energy and vividness. Developing a paint with such

intensity of clarity, depth and luster requires a three-coat process—

a reflective layer, a translucent layer, and a clear top-coat that

is nearly impossible to mass-produce. Soul Red Crystal Metallic

enables us to give the CX-5 a hand-painted quality.

DESIGNED FOR ONE THING: YOU.

At Mazda, we’re not just passionate about driving. We’re passionate

about how a car makes you feel—even after your drive. It’s an

essential connection between man and machine. A belief that a car

should respect and adapt to its driver’s sensibilities. Putting our focus

on you means designing a refined CX-5 cockpit that is welcoming,

intuitive and meticulously crafted. Where controls and gauges are

laid out in perfect symmetry so you can focus on the road ahead.

We call it a human-centric approach that relies on the subtleties of

seeing and touching with all your senses. And through our ceaseless

exploration of unconventional ideas, we discover more ways to make

a difference in everyday driving. Such as developing an available

intuitive Active Driving Display, through which vital information such

as vehicle status, current speed, and route guidance is projected

onto the windshield. Pertinent data is positioned in your line of sight

and allows you to better adjust your focus—ultimately minimizing

distractions while driving. Is it possible for something to transport you

without moving? It is. When it’s designed for you, the driver.

MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE. GRACEFULLY.

Welcome to the cabin of the Mazda CX-5. This is where you’ll discover premium materials and

thoughtful accents that add to a refined, secure and quiet atmosphere. As you enter, the door

panel will do more than create an opening. Our newly developed material, appropriately named

“Metal Wood1,” blends the warmth of what resembles natural wood with the strength and

toughness of a metallic finish. This unique twelve-layer process is finished with a coating to

create a fresh new look that expresses a greater depth of richness and elegance.

TAKING THE

BACK SEAT

NEVER FELT SO INDULGENT.

Is it so unthinkable that a CUV this adept can double as a peaceful

haven for your passengers? It’s possible when you transcend

the predictable. Like provide your guests with not only ample

entrance and exit room, but available heated back seats, rear

climate control vents and USB ports in the center armrests that

keep everyone comfortable. And on longer drives, the rear seat

backs are adjustable for added comfort. Our aim is to always exceed

expectations. What else would you expect from Mazda?
