Lighting control (Mazda CX-5KE)

Headlights

Turn the central switch knob to turn the headlights, other external lights and instrument panel lighting on or off respectively.

In the case of a vehicle with a Type A instrument cluster, if there is a malfunction in the system, check the vehicle condition or contact an authorized Mazda dealer.

Indication of system malfunction or failure to operate is provided.

Note: To avoid draining the battery, do not leave the lights on when the engine is not running (leave the lights on only if required by safety and traffic regulations).

Cars without automatic control of lighting devices

Note:

• X: on.
• -: off.

Cars with automatic control of lighting devices

Note:

• X: on.
• -: off.

*The lighting device switching mode is set automatically depending on the external lighting registered by the sensor.

Automatic control of lighting devices

If the central light switch handle is turned to the "AUTO" position (automatic control of lighting devices), then when the ignition is on (the ignition switch is in the "ON" position), the headlights and other external lighting devices, as well as the instrument panel lighting, are turned on and off automatically according to signals from the light sensor - depending on the external lighting conditions.

Attention.

• Do not cover the light sensor with anything (do not apply film or labels to the windshield in the area where the sensor is located). Otherwise, the sensor will not be able to work correctly.
• The light sensor also functions as a rain sensor in the automatic windshield wiper control system. Be careful not to place your hands, the wiper blade or the scraper blade close to the windshield when the windshield wiper is in automatic mode and the ignition is on. When the windshield wiper is turned on automatically, you may injure your fingers, and the wiper blades and arms may be mechanically damaged. If you are going to clean the windshield, make sure that the wiper blades are completely off. This is especially important in winter when you need to clear the windshield of snow or ice – in these cases, the engine is usually running.

Note:

• Lighting devices may not respond immediately and may not turn off immediately after a sharp increase in the level of illumination outside the vehicle if the system determines that this occurred during the dark hours of the day (that is, before this, for several minutes, the illumination level was low). A sharp increase in the illumination level at night can occur, for example, when the car enters a lighted tunnel, when parked in a long traffic jam in a tunnel, when entering a covered lighted parking lot. In such cases, to turn off the lighting devices, turn the central lighting switch to the "OFF" position.
• If the central light switch handle is in the "AUTO" position ("Automatic light control mode"), then when the ignition switch is moved to the "ACC" ("Auxiliary power consumers") or "OFF" ("Ignition off") position, the headlights, other external lighting devices and the control panel illumination will be turned off.
• The brightness of the instrument cluster illumination can be adjusted by rotating the knob/switch located on the instrument cluster. In addition, pressing the knob/switch changes the brightness of the illumination when the exterior lighting is on or off.
• The system sensitivity in "AUTO" mode can be adjusted at an authorized Mazda dealer service center.

Headlights with gas-discharge xenon lamps (some performances)

For low beam headlights, gas-discharge xenon lamps are used, which provide a beam of bright white light and good illumination of the road and the side of the road.

Attention.

• It is prohibited to replace gas-discharge xenon lamps on your own.
• Replacing xenon lamps in headlights on your own is dangerous. If you handle xenon lamps incorrectly, you may get an electric shock, since such lamps operate under high electrical voltage. If you need to replace xenon lamps, contact an authorized Mazda dealer service station.

Note: If the headlights flicker or the brightness of the light has decreased, this indicates that the lamps have reached the end of their service life. Replace the used xenon lamps with new ones. In such cases, you must contact the service station of an authorized Mazda dealer.

Switching headlights (high/low beam)

To turn on the high beam, press the lever away from you.

To turn on the low beam, return the lever to its original position.

Headlight corrector

The number of passengers in the vehicle and the weight of the cargo carried in the luggage compartment affect the direction of the headlight beams in the vertical plane.

Automatic headlight corrector

The direction of the light beams is automatically adjusted when the headlights are switched on.

Manual headlight corrector

The corrector handwheel allows you to manually adjust the tilt of the optical axes of the headlights.



Set the corrector handwheel to one of the working positions in accordance with the table below.

Note:

• X: yes.

Cornering Lighting System - AFS (some versions)

When the headlights are on, the Active Cornering Lighting System (AFS) automatically turns the headlight beams left or right depending on the direction of the steering wheel.

Direction indicators

Note: If the indicator is constantly on (not flashing) or flashes at an increased frequency, then a possible cause is that one of the turn signal lamps has burned out. It is possible to customize the volume level of the turn signal sound indicator.
