Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to use the multifunctional interior and exterior mirrors of your Mazda CX-5. You will learn how to adjust, fold, and defrost your mirrors, enhancing your driving experience and safety.

Step 1: Adjusting the Mirrors

Properly adjusting your mirrors is crucial for optimal visibility.

1. Interior Mirror Adjustment

   • Sit in the driver's seat and ensure you are in a comfortable driving position.
   • Adjust the rearview mirror so you can see directly out the rear window without obstruction.

2. Exterior Mirror Adjustment

   • Use the control switches located on the driver's door.
   • Select the left or right mirror using the switch.
   • Move the joystick to adjust the mirror angle. Aim to have the side of your vehicle just barely visible in the mirror, maximizing your field of view.

Step 2: Folding the Mirrors

Folding your mirrors is useful in tight spaces to prevent damage.

• Manual Folding

  • Gently push the mirror towards the vehicle until it clicks into the folded position.

• Power Folding (if equipped)

  • Locate the power folding button on the driver's door.
  • Press the button to automatically fold the mirrors in and out.

Step 3: Defrosting the Mirrors

In cold weather, defrosting your mirrors ensures clear visibility.

• Using the Defrost Feature

  • Turn on your vehicle's defrost settings via the climate control system.
  • Ensure the heated mirror option is activated. This will typically be indicated by a symbol resembling a mirror with wavy lines.

• Manual Defrosting

  • If your mirrors do not have a heating feature, use a scraper or cloth to gently remove ice or frost.

Step 4: Additional Tips for Mirror Care

Maintaining your mirrors is essential for longevity and performance.

• Regularly clean the mirrors with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime.
• Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the mirror surfaces.
