2017 Mazda CX-5

[jtphl]

iStop is a very pricey, often misunderstood feature. It's more for the environment...the reduced FC, a bonus....& there will be that batt cost penalty. Mazda is inclined to keep the SRP close to current(thus, the planned removal) but retain GVC.
Re batt swaps, iStop relearning has 2 methods...thru dealerships & a step by step DIY procedure. Some reportedly have had luck....no issues from not doing any procedure after batt replacement. And, if you have a memory saver tool, you'll be spared, too. There are a number out there....here's 1....

For the DIYer, verify w/ dealership if this old method still works for the KF CX5...
iStop relearning DIY:

1. Warm the engine up. Turn everything electrical off that you can - radio, A/C, lights, chargers, etc. Bring it close to electrical load.

2. Switch the ignition off.

3. Switch ignition to on but dont start engine. Long-press the i-stop OFF switch for 3 s within 5 s after switching the ignition ON.

4. Start the engine.

5. Press the i-stop OFF switch. Verify that the i-stop indicator light (green) flashes and stays flashing. If it does not flash, go back to Step 3.

6. Allow the engine to idle for 10 minutes, or until the i-stop indicator light (green) turns off. Mine didnt stop flashing so after 10 minutes or so i just went to step 7.

7. Switch the engine off. Wait a minute or two.

8. Start the engine. Go for a drive, and check that the i-stop system operates normally. Those with i-stop will know that you may need to drive a mile or two until it activates. Remember that i-stop will not operate when (a) for diesels...when engines are in DPF regen mode, and (b) in those other conditions stated in the manual. Also, if a new battery was fitted, it may take some time for the new battery to fully charge up before i-stop will start working. Go for a decent drive so it gets fully charged.

9. If i-stop operates as normal, reset it was a success.

is this an encouragement or discouragement?

When will Mazda PH release the CX5 with no istop?

Hahaha. It's subject to interpretation....[emoji4]
The coming Malaysian units are the neutered ones.[emoji4]

To help maintain batt health & lengthen its life, CTEK CT5 Start/Stop is a good investment for cars w/ this system. It will pay for itself.

Most premium euros (Bimmers, Mercs) come w/ Start/Stop now. Currently, an imported 100D23L Johnson Controls EFB in the local market has higher specs & lower price than the D23Q65 Motolite EFB. Both share same dimensions as the stock Q85. Let's hope start/stop batt prices drop as supply options rise.

Can I also use the CTEK CT5 Start/Stop charger for ordinary car batteries?

How about the Time To Go charger, can it also be used for the deep cycle type batteries? Lately it's getting difficult to find the Start/Stop charger at Blade store but there's plenty of stock for the Time To Go charger.

Grab the Start/Stop specific from Lazada, sir.[emoji4]

I'm quite hesitant to buy from Lazada due to concerns with warranty claims. That's probably just a concern based on anecdotal experiences

I really prefer the Start/Stop charger but would like to use it for other ordinary car batteries. Anyone here able to confirm it also works for ordinary batts?

It should work w/ regular flooded batts. Look at CTEK Start/Stop tech info here:

CT5 START/STOP
EFB is just an enhanced version of the standard flooded. The benefits of the former are improved charge acceptance and greater cyclic durability when operating in a reduced state of charge (typical of Stop/Start applications). Approximately, good EFBs will provide 85,000 engine starts, compared to 30,000 starts from regular flooded 1s. So, I really doubt the longevity of regular batts serving Start/Stop vehicles.
If you wish, there's a CTEK dealer in Cebu. Deltran Batt Tender, too. There might be additional shipping cost though.

My 2.5L AWD Sport is now 2mo old, and have never tried the iStop feature...til tonight. (I normally turn it off immediately after start up)

Was pleasantly surprised that it was not as jarring as I thought it would. Plus it activates based on the final press on the brakes or not. If I don't really push it too far in, the car can still engage the Auto Brake Hold, be at a complete stop, but will not deactivate / turn off the engine. So on traffic crawls...it's not really an issue as i feared.

It's only when I see i have more than 1 minute at the stop light do I engage it. The A/C on Auto still works...

Hmm... never noticed that. I thought iStop activates if you're in neutral or park.

The last of the Nippons are in the showrooms now. We should expect em here by January. At best, Mazda could probably hold SRP while everyone else's shoot up. There's no question on build quality. I know 1 who has been driving a 1-off MY unit the last 3years w/ no other expression but grin.[emoji4]

What shall be the main difference of a 2018 cx5 bought this Dec 2017 and from a unit bought 2018 ? aside from production site. As you mentioned, price could remain the same because of AFTA, and for feature, no more istop, how about other spec up and feature inclusions?

since price could be same, it could be wiser to buy now then make sure to always off istop, at least it's Japanese made.

What do you think?

You can never go wrong either way. :-)

Though i got the new Cr-v, may times na gusto ko din ng cx-5. Kung sub 2m ang diesel nila baka yun ang kinuha namin. Actually muntik ko na patulan yun previous model na diesel na 1.8m ang price kung may stock.

Guys,

Got my CX-5 yesterday evening at North Edsa. I reserved the unit on December 8 and got it December 13. Lucky that I have transacted with the very supportive people from Mazda, Mike (manager) and Harold Hanz(Agent). The branch is highly recommended. The purchased will not made possible if not from the equally supportive Jun Florencio(manager) of PSBANK Caloocan. He is easy to deal with. He gave me the lowest possible interest.
