Mazda cx-5 2022 User Manual
The Mazda CX-5 is a popular compact SUV known for its stylish look, great driving dynamics, and high-quality features. I don’t know what changes will be made for the 2022 model year, but I can tell you some general things about the Mazda CX-5 and how it has changed in the past.
The Mazda CX-5 has been made since 2012, and it has been updated and improved several times since then. It is between the smaller Mazda CX-3 and the bigger Mazda CX-9 in Mazda’s range. The exterior of the CX-5 is known for being sleek and sporty. It uses Mazda’s “Kodo” design language, which emphasises a feeling of motion and athleticism.
Depending on the market, the CX-5 comes with a number of different engines that affect how it drives. These usually have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that draws air in naturally and, in some places, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is turbocharged. The CX-5 is also known for its easy-to-control handling and quick steering, which make it a fun SUV to drive.
The Mazda CX-5’s cabin is well-equipped and designed with the driver in mind. Mazda has worked hard to make its cars feel high-end by using high-quality materials and paying close attention to details. The infotainment system has the easy-to-use layout that Mazda is known for, and it often comes with advanced safety features like driver-assistance technologies.

Seat Precautions
Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seatback.
Never allow children to adjust a seat:
Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious injury if a child’s hands or feet become caught in the seat.
Do not drive with the seatback unlocked:
All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle. Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.
Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is stopped:
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is being driven, the seating posture may become unstable and the seat could move unexpectedly resulting in injury.
Do not modify or replace the front seats:
Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag components essential to the supplemental restraint system. Such modifications could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if there is any need to remove or reinstall the front seats.
Do not drive with damaged front seats:
Driving with damaged front seats, such as seat cushions torn or damaged down to the urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong enough to inflate the airbags, could damage the front seats which contain essential airbag components. If there was a subsequent collision, an airbag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect the front seats, front seat belt pre-tensioners, and air bags after a collision.
Do not drive with either front seats reclined:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you do not get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Do not place objects under the seat:
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and result in an accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury. Additionally, if the air bags deploy, the cargo may scatter which could result in serious injury or death. Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving: Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particularly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward, back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause serious injury.
CAUTION
- When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
- When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
- (Manual Seat)
When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury. - When inserting your hand under the seat to clean the cabin or pick up something you dropped under the seat, be careful not to hurt yourself. If you contact the moving parts of the seat rail or seat frame, it could result in injury.
NOTE
- When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
- (Power Seat)
The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation because excessive use can damage the motors. - To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
- Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.
Adjusting the Driver’s Seat
Using the driving position setup procedure recommended by Mazda allows you to maintain a relaxed posture, drive the vehicle for longer periods without feeling tired, and make quick operations naturally. Also, you can be assured of a clear view in the forward direction to help you drive more safely and comfortably. The adjustments for the driving position recommended by Mazda are done using the following procedures.
- Moving the steering wheel and seat to their default positions.
- Adjusting the seatback angle.
- Adjusting the seat position forward and back.
- Adjusting the seat height.
- Adjusting the steering wheel position.
- Adjusting the head restraint position.
