Just bought this car after a few years of research and waiting, and loving it! Then I spent 3 hours and read the manual. What things I learned that I would not have known otherwise! Decided it would help others to maybe learn some great features of their car they might not have known about. Note my CX-9 is Signature trim, some of these may not apply to your car if you have a different trim level. But most will.
They are, in order:
1. Link seat memory/HUD to key fob!
2. Adjust liftgate height!
3. Mirrors can be folded manually!
4. 360 camera can be set to auto on!
5. Rain sensing wiper sensitivity is adjustable!
6. Rear window defog also activates mirror/windshield heater!
7. Hill holder works, both forward and reverse!
8. AFS system moves the headlights with the steering wheel!
9. Excessive speed monitor can be default set!
10. Bypass Apple Carplay quite easily!
11. MPG can be set to display each time car turns off!
12. Accelerator kickdown switch for MOAR POWR!!!!
13. Button on trunk exterior conveniently locks all doors!
14. Volume of all beeps is customizable!
15. Fob has physical key for zombie defense!
Thanks for watching. Peace and hope to you today.

Mazda is a creature of a different caliber than other manufacturers. Every vehicle they make has a sporty more entertaining feel to it. They also go above their price in comparison of quality against the competition.

Hold the mode button on the steering wheel to switch between adaptive and normal cruise control. When the key battery is weak, you get an alert on the dashboard to replace it.

@Chrisnuzzo76 3 жыл бұрын

The throttle kick down switch is a switch that tells your vehicle that you need more acceleration and it then downshifts the transmission to get into the power and of higher rpms. You definitely do not want to delete that. It is especially handy if you are driving up a hill or towing something.

I’ll soon be trading in a 2010 Volvo XC60 for a 2019 CX-9 (specifically that year for the same reasons you went with it - the color of the leather in the signature trim and the Apple CarPlay) and am so stoked to hear that the headlights turn with the car! My Volvo does that and I love the feature. Thanks for the video!!

Thanks. Did a K&N air filter but aside from that there isn't much available. There are a few intakes available but they add intake/turbo/blow off noise which is not what I want, this is a luxury quiet car. There's also a catback available but too loud for the same reason above. I would like their axelback which adds a nice rumble without being too loud but at the price point ($600) I'm not ready to spend my money on that. I wish there was tuning for this platform, I'd be all over that.

A few comments: -Hill start assist on this car is among the worst I’ve had on any vehicle. After a quick stop (say an incline with a stop sign on top, it will roll. Any other car I’ve owned has had instantaneous HSA. -Holding the dial gauge for a few seconds will switch the “distance to empty” and “instant mpg” digital gauges to numeric on either side of the speedometer. -I had no idea about the additional pedal click. Guess I’ve really slowed down my driving from my younger years. -The car (at least the models with the newer fob style) can be set to auto lock when walking away from the vehicle

You might try holding down the dashboard illumination knob (I call it a peg) it is the same "peg" that adjusts your gauge cluster brightness. If you hold it down, it should toggle between no display, analog, and digital readouts for gauge side bars.

Wow, it was really enjoyable and very helpful! Thank you for sharing!! We are considering purchasing a 2019 Cx-9 Grand Touring. I wanted to learn more about it because some features come in at about 5'6" which is a little over my head! I wanted to know if you can use that camera when pulling into a tight parking spot or garage. I have a hard time determining how much room I have on the front right corner. That overhead camera would come in handy, but I am not sure it works when you are going forward. If I press that little button, will it turn on and help me see?

It's been a while and I'm not near that car but the manual details it, the seat settings are numbered 1 and 2, you lock the seat setting to whichever corresponding fob you have and then when you unlock the car with that fob it goes to the corresponding setting. Good luck! It's a great feature for sure.

I realize I am WAY late on this video. But the rear hatch access button also has another feature besides just locking the doors. If you press that button before you open the hatch, it will unlock all the doors to the car. I like to call that the "Costco Feature", so while I am loading the Costco run into the back hatch, the rest of the fam can pile in. Likewise, if you press the unlock button on the passenger side door handle, all of the doors will unlock. And if you press the access button on the driver side, the drivers door unlocks only. If you double press the driver's side button, all doors unlock. I prefer to use these rather than digging into my pocket for the fob. I have to touch the door handle to open the door anyway, so why go for the fob?

@gray25xt Жыл бұрын

2 strategies, and I've bought many cars so I have experience. One, it was December 2019 and I bought a 2019 model, so they wanted to get it off the lot and there I was. Two, knowing my bottom line...I called 5 or 6 dealerships and negotiated prices on the same car, then it was just a matter of choosing which one would give me the lowest and using that as bartering power. The place I bought it from turned me down so I left, but 3 minutes later they called said they would accept my offer after all. Be ready to make your offer and walk away, if you can do that you'll usually get what you want. As one guy told me once, look the salesman in the eye, name the price you're willing to pay, then the next person that speaks, loses.
