2017 Mazda CX-5

[jtphl]

My initial post on MY units having no iStop was based on previous reported plans. I stand corrected. The agents you asked are accurate. Current production stocks from MY that arrived to fill the void still HAS iStop. The switch is still there & it functions.

Apologies for the booboo.
Next gen Start/Stop systems are planned to have no switches.

CX5 diesel, is it still from Japan? Or both diesel and petrol variants will now come from Malaysia?

All are from Malaysia now. Saw all 3 variants w/ my own 2 eyes....except I did not check the iStop switch, just the VIN....my bad.

Yikes. Hmm, although the times I've used iStop have been few yet quite smooth when it did activate...still I like the quick ability to disable it.

Hope the bonnet switch will still be tweakable then....[emoji4]

I called Motolite Express just to verify if they do not sell batteries for iStop. They do not sell it. Sa casa lang daw nagbebenta.

Just wondering if the Japan and Malaysia variants have differences externally. So that one look, you'd know if it's from Japan or Malaysia. Maybe the mags have different designs?

The MY rear windows are clear glass. Worry not about iStop batts...a consistent supply of better, higher spec'd ones will be offered in your neckodawoods soon.[emoji4]

What do you call this type of battery again? In case I want to look for other brands.

My friend who drives a Mazda 6, immediately changed his battery as soon as he felt that it was getting weak kahit na ok pa naman. He told me it cost around 20K from the casa.

Motolite's EFB is around 14k from dealerships. Mazda uses Q85. Start/Stop systems require EFBs or AGMs...the latter is better.

Haven't you guys noticed the the left headlight is too much biased sa right?
Try turning sa stoplight with a aluminum truck van or bus in front of you. Kapag abante nila, (habang nakahinto ka) yun pinaka-"focus" ng left headlight pumupunta sa right.

I'm planning to manually adjust mine a little bit to the left but I'm worried it might affect the auto dimming feature of the high beam.

That's intentional on LHD cars, sir. Anti-glare for oncoming traffic. RHD will be left biased.

Hmmm, that probably explains why the M3's left LED headlight throw is shorter than the right.

May Adaptive Front Lightng System siguro unit mo. The beam follows the direction your steering wheel is turned.
Mas mabuti wag pakiilaman, since daptive baka ma out of line yung focus ng headlight sa ibang driving conditions.

Yes meron but 15 degrees lang naman (according to paper) ang left / right angle ng headlight...

Mazda iStop or Honda Start/Stop Battery woes?
You have the Motolite option thru dealerships w/ 1yr warranty:

OR
Finally, you have the higher spec'd, competitively priced Delkor from Johnson Controls, same maker of Varta & Optima, w/ 15mo. warranty.


For details, call or viber OVTph, +639174726847

And iStop relearning? Check this 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.

What if masira yung battery sa house or nasa labas tayo and only Mazda has the iStop battery, what do we do? Can we jump start it just like any ordinary battery?

Jumpstarting a dead batt on a vehicle w/ Start/Stop system shouldn't be any different from 1 w/o...Please verify w/ your dealership this procedure...
1. + discharged to + support
2. - support to - discharged or body ground to body ground.
This sequence ensures that the battery sensor isn't bridged & the battery data won't be registered by the sensor while charging.
3. Start & fast idle support vehicle or activate your jumpstart pack.
4. Start discharged car
5. Before disconnecting jumpers, turn on lights, rear defroster, highest A/C for 10sec to prevent voltage surge
6. Remove in this order:support ground, discharge ground, support +, discharged +

After batt replacement, go thru the iStop relearning procedure.
