If you want to fill your gas tank but don't want to leave your doors unlocked, just lock your doors as you're getting out of the car, and you'll have 60 seconds to get to your fuel door before it locks. You can go to settings and change that to 90 seconds if you want. (2025 Mazda CX-30)

Thanks for these tips. Just got a cx 5 and had a migraine looking at the 650 plus page manual, written in microscopically small print! I think I will never fully understand it.. I've been driving an 89 ford.... since 1989. This car looks like the space shuttle would be easier to fly. I just want to know how to turn off the radio so it doesn't always activate when I start the car, not just mute or set vol to 0. But mostly I've spent 2 days trying to figure out how to simply get to the radio screen and manually find stations as all the presents are stations that made me tear out my old radio!
@mikescardiaries14 күн бұрын
I hope you get it figured out. I don't personally believe it's possible to turn off the radio entirely, you can just mute it. But I could be wrong. Good luck!

To turn the radio off just hold the small volume button down for a couple seconds, the display will black out. If you want to display the time, press the home button which is to the lower right of the large knob.

Despite the assertion on the still title screen “All 2019-2024 Mazdas”, my 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring has NONE of these functions. I think you ought to be specific to the model you have and any models you have actually verified these functions on. One more thing: the ONLY thing that is true on my car is the power save function on my fob -that worked. But NOW it won’t allow me to use the door unlock buttons. My other key fob works fine on the buttons, so I believe turning on this power save on a fob disables the proximity detection, disabling the door lock buttons. And I can’t seem to turn that back on. Hopefully removing and replacing the battery will do it. Thanks a lot dude. Stop giving bad advice.
