Mazda CX-5 2020 User Manual
The Mazda CX-5 is a compact SUV that looks good and can be used in many ways. It has a mix of luxury, comfort, and speed. The 2020 Mazda CX-5 continued to surprise with its sleek exterior, refined interior, and fun driving dynamics.
In terms of form, the 2020 CX-5 showed off Mazda’s signature “Kodo” style, which emphasized smooth, flowing lines, a bold grille, and expressive headlights. It stood out in its segment because it looked unique and high-end. The shape of the CX-5 gave it a sense of elegance and energy.
Most of the time, the 2020 CX-5 came with a choice of engines under the hood. The base engine was a four-cylinder 2.5-liter unit that was both powerful and good on gas. Higher trim levels may have had a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which would have given even more power and speed to drivers who wanted a more fun ride. The engines in the CX-5 were known for running smoothly and well.
Inside, the trunk of 2020 CX-5 was high-quality and well-made. All of the materials were of good quality, and every detail was taken care of. Both the driver and the people in the car were happy with how comfy and supportive the seats were. The car was made to be quiet and elegant, with as little road noise as possible to make the ride more comfortable.
The CX-5 had Mazda’s easy-to-use entertainment system, which was usually managed by a central screen and a rotary dial. Depending on the trim level, this system let you use tools like Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and navigation if it was available. The CX-5 was designed to make it easy to stay connected and get to fun and information.
The 2020 CX-5 had improved safety features and driver-assistance technologies to make it safer. These could include things like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Mazda puts safety first and wants all of its cars to have as many safety features as possible.

Make sure the lever returns to its original position and the seatback is locked in place by attempting to push it forward and backward.
WARNING:
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on folded-down seatbacks or in the luggage compartment. Putting occupants in the luggage compartment is dangerous because seat belts cannot be fastened which could lead to serious injury or death during sudden braking or a collision.
Do not allow children to play inside the vehicle with the seatbacks lowered. Allowing children to play in the vehicle with the seatbacks folded down is dangerous. If a child enters the luggage compartment and the seatbacks were raised back up, the child may become trapped in the luggage compartment which could lead to an accident. Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is transported with the seatbacks folded down. Driving without tightly securing cargo and luggage is dangerous as it could move and become an obstruction to driving during emergency braking or a collision resulting in an unexpected accident.
When transporting cargo, do not allow the cargo to exceed the height of the seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced which could interfere with driving operations and lead to an accident.
CAUTION:
- (5–Door)
When folding the seatback forward, always support the seatback with your hand. If it is not supported by a hand, fingers or the hand pressing the push knob could be injured. - Check the position of the front seat before folding the rear seatback.
Depending on the position of the front seat, it may not be possible to fold a rear seatback all the way down because it may hit the seatback of the front seat which could scratch or damage the front seat or its pocket. Lower or remove the head restraint on the rear outboard seat if necessary.
Seat Belt Systems
Pregnant Women and Persons with Serious Medical Conditions
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder properly, but never across the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical conditions also should wear seat belts. Check with your doctor for any special instructions regarding specific medical conditions.
Emergency Locking Mode
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency locking mode. In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the occupant and the retractor will lock in position during a collision. If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled out, retract the belt once, and then try pulling it out slowly. If this fails, pull the belt strongly 1 time and loosen, then pull it out again slowly.
(Seat Belt with Automatic Locking Mode)
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in emergency locking mode until it is switched to automatic locking mode by pulling it all the way out to its full length. If the belt feels tight and hinders comfortable movement while the vehicle is stopped or in motion, it may be in automatic locking mode because the belt has been pulled too far out. To return the belt to the more comfortable emergency locking mode, wait until the vehicle has stopped in a safe, level area, retract the belt fully to convert it back to emergency locking mode, and then extend it around you again.
Automatic Locking Mode (Except Mexico)
Always use the automatic locking mode to keep the child-restraint system from shifting to an unsafe position in the event of an accident. To enable the seat belt’s automatic locking mode, pull it all the way out and connect it as instructed on the child-restraint system. It will retract down to the child-restraint system and stay locked on it. See the section on child restraint.
NOTE
If a belt does not fully retract, inspect it for kinks and twists. If it is still not retracting properly, have it inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer?
Front Shoulder Belt Adjuster
The front seat belts have a front shoulder belt adjuster. If the seat belt contacts your neck or it slips off the shoulder, adjust the seat belt height.
To raise
To heighten the seat belt, move the front shoulder belt adjuster upward.
To lower
To lower the seat belt, lower it with the knob of the front shoulder belt adjuster pressed.
After adjusting, press the front shoulder belt adjuster downward and make sure that it is securely locked.
Front Seat Belt Pretensioner and Load Limiting Systems
For optimum protection, the driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with pre-tensioner and load-limiting systems. For both these systems to work properly you must wear the seat belt properly.
Pretensioners:
When a collision is detected, the pretensions deploy simultaneously with the airbags.
For vehicles with the front passenger occupant classification system, the pretensioners deploy simultaneously with the airbags when a rollover is also detected.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria.
The seat belt retractors remove slack quickly as the airbags are expanding. Any time the airbags and seat belt pretensioners have fired they must be replaced.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning. Refer to Air Bag/Front Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning Indication/Warning Light on.
Refer to Air Bag/Front Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning Beep on.
