- Due to restrictions in place with the uk's lockdown it is hard for us to show new customers how to get the most out of their new car. If you have bought a mazda 3 or cx-30 and would like a beginners guide to the controls of the car watch this video by Mazds Guru Tom
Top tip!
You DO NOT need the heated steering wheel option, there are two massive vents either side of the instrument cluster, these blow masses of hot air over your hands, which warms them so much better than the regular heated steering wheel does. I got the top spec version because it came with the heated wheel and I've never used it.
Also, the volume and track selection control located beside the gear stick is for the passenger to use! Not the driver.
Thanks, our last car was a 2003 Miata. This 2021 Mazda3 was way overwhelming with all the things it can do. You broke it down nicely. I don't feel so perplexed by its controls now.
This is very helpful! I am getting my CX-30 next week! I appreciate you getting drenched with rain just to show us the electronic seat adjustment!
17:01 did you get them switched with rear and front? Asking as the symbol for rear is a rectangle
Hi Tom, Thanks for this video, very in-depth and very useful as I'll be picking up my car in the next few days. Am keen on speed alert and how to use the auto cruise control.
Love the videos, keep them coming and thanks for all the tips! 😊😊
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
As a first time M3 owner, this was very helpful to me. Thanks a lot and planning to go through your other videos. Take care!
Thank you for making this video, you are a legend.
I’ve just purchased cx30 2024, and although the car in this video is different I have found this video to be very useful.
Hi Tom, the 30-minute in-depth look at the CX-30 is really great, and much appreciated. It should be 'supplied' with every new car! I've had my lovely CX-30 since Jan 29, but sadly have not driven it very much because of Covid, and work I'm having done at the outside of the house.
When I had the official handover, because it was my first Mazda, it was a little less familiar than for some. The girl was excellent, but at that stage all I was really ready for was the very basic instructions to drive it home safely. If she had done the same as your excellent video there and then, I would probably have forgotten most of it! Your video was exactly what I needed. Even after 5 months a lot of what you said I didn't even know! But now I am in a position to take it on board, and your video beats any any handbook, printed or electronic hands down. I loved the way it was so friendly and informative, yet funny, too! Your references to the 'knob', for example, were really well done. To try and avoid anything suggestive, just makes it worse. When I was a boy, if you were having an injection, you were warned that it was just a little prick coming. It's certainly not a 'scratch' as they say now!
Keep up the excellent work - Johnson's are really lucky to have such great gurus on the premises. I definitely want to make it up to Gloucester some time, and if I do, I'd love to pop in and say hi, circumstances permitting! 👍👍
@@mazdagurus5451 Thanks, Tom - and fellow gurus! Yes, still loving the CX-30, and my local dealer had a LHD version of the new MX-30 on Dutch plates, over from the Netherlands, for us to take for a drive. Quite different from what I imagined - if you didn't know, from the driving experience itself, you would be hard-pressed to know whether it was petrol, diesel, or all-electric! Yes, I certainly will try to get up to Gloucester to see you all, hopefully in 2021! Keep well, and stay safe, meanwhile! (Philip)
Just got mine a few days ago and I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the things to learn about this new car and this is my 4th Mazda3 Hatch. Thanks for the video!
If there is anything in particular you need help with please let us know - Guru Helen x
this was so helpful! I'm getting my cx30 in about 2 weeks and this has been soo helpful
I'm so glad you are finding our videos helpful. Please let us know if you need anything specific. Much Mazda love Guru Helen x
Beautiful!! Thank you so much for this informative video. I have watched a bunch of videos about about mazda 3's interior but your''s was one of if not the most informative. Super excited to pick mine up tomorrow from the dealership haha.
I just got my CX30 last week. This video was a big help. Thank you!
Enjoy your new car and if you ever need anything just let us know. Much Mazda love ❤
Great overview. What a great car, the controls are very intuitive but it's good to have thorough check over all the options
Great video, thx!!!! Just got a Mazda 3, turbo premium. 2022. I am still having trouble, figuring out how to get back to manual tuning to change the favorites that were in the car already. Maybe you already have a video on that somewhere! Very grateful for your explanation😊
I’m watching from Melbourne, Aus. Very informative! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you, I'm so pleased you are enjoying our videos. Much Mazda love to you.
Thank you! I just took a 2023 Mazda 3 for a test drive and I was very intimidated by the technology inside, so this is great!
It's great car.
Bro, I rented this car two days ago and I was trying to find the rear view camera, but I couldn’t. So I am glad that you showed how to turn it on and off! Thank you, have a nice day.
Always happy to help.
Great video. Good to hear about all the great features you have in the UK that we can't get in the US.
Well we don't get the 2.5 turbo so think yourself lucky.
The auto headlight switch was something I was not aware of till now. So thank you for that. I also enjoyed the info on your knob and horn...cheers.
The main benefit of using the auto headlight switch is while driving at night you’ll also activate auto high beams. They’ll automatically go on/off based on traffic around you. If you just drive around with your full headlighting system on when you turn off your Mazda vehicle the headlights will auto shut off - which is nice - but auto high beams only activate if you have your headlights always set to auto mode.
thanks for the info, i get mine on tuesday i'm so xcited
Top video thank you, this helped me from not having to sit in a car park for a hour learning all of the setup after picking up my new 71 CX30. Appreciated it!
Glad it helped!
@@mazdagurus5451 It did, but now I'm about 2 days from returning the car. So many issues that a uncooperative main dealer is barely interested in fixing. I wish there was some way of knowing who to go to, to get things sorted.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 where about are you based
@@mazdagurus5451 I am in the West Midlands but I'm happy to travel to get things sorted. I love the car, but I've had faults that the dealer is able to recreate, but haven't be resolved.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 which dealer have you been going to?
Very helpful video, thanks guys.
Thank you from Texas
Thank you just, picked up my mazdab3 yesterday needed 2 Know certain things
My lil brother bought his dream car, the Miata MX-5. Now I want to join the Mazda family too and plan on getting the CX-30!
Thank you. It helps a lot 😊 .
Great useful video. Searching fir your video on the info button on the steering wheel and looking for indepth info on the infotainment system. Thx
Excellent video, I picked up some features that I was not aware of. Traded in my Mazda MX-5 ND and collected my Mazda 3 100 anniversary 2 weeks ago and it's fantastic. I recommend this car to anyone.
The 100th Anniversary is a fabulous looking car - I love the burgundy leather. Enjoy and let us know if you need help with anything. Much Mazda love Guru Helen
Very useful video! Many thanks for that one, appreciated! Impatient to watch the next one about safety features.
These videos are really useful. Would also be good to know if there is a trip setting which will show time if journey, average speed and consumption as can’t find one. Also is there a way to listen to radio without “start vehicle to charge 12v battery” after few mins when parked?
Thanks for this. Great video and straight forward.
Thank you.
well done, like it.
Thanks just had mine delivered and this is invaluable. Except I’m in Australia and indicators on opposing side as you said 😃
Thank you. Very useful information for Mazda car drivers.
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought a Mazda 3 and your video clarified so many things! thank you for the smooth journey. I wondered about the navigation. I read in another video that you have to connect the smartphone or buy a card from MAZDA, is that right? If you use a card or if it does come with navigation how do you use it since it has no touch screen?
Really helpful. Thank you
Watching from Israel . Love your video :)
Where can i find the video about all types of cruise control in the CX-30 ?
Just bought mine a week ago . Not sure how to use the speed lim, the regular cruise controls and the adaptive one .
Thanks for your help
Hi. Great video. I know it's not explained here, but what's the button next to the cruise control on the steering wheel?
brilliant tutorial, appreciate
Thank you
Oh, I also have a question about Speed Alert. Wish I could get a warning if my car was exceeding the speed limit.
Im from Malaysia and i just got my mazda cx-30 - I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!! ❤ And this video is really helpful cause i hate reading 😂
Glad we can help!
Thanks for the run through - one quick question - what is the blue bit and the battery symbol at the top of the MPG gauge? Presumably something to do with the hybrid?
@@mazdagurus5451 that's great thanks 👍
Thanx great info video.. I have a 2023 Mazda CX 30 G25 Astina I'm wondering if you could tell me what the little round orange icon that comes up on the projector screen on the windscreen is occasionally comes up and flashes at me lol and I am wondering what it is
...found it, once I bought my GT Sport Tech Skyaktiv X:), but would like to know why the ALH for headlights switches the high beam on automatically, but doesn't turn it off, a bit dangerous? Also, how do I change the exterior temp from C to F?, there is no Temperature option in settings like on US models.
Any help on speed alerts would be appreciated. Can’t figure out how it can warn me if I am speeding.
can you choose the distance that the key fob is away from the car for auto-lock to occur? I have to leave my keys near the door and a window in my small apartment, and I always get the warning that my car is unlocked.
Hi Tom, thanks for all of this info. Is there an indicator on the dash whether the auto high beam thing on the side of the dock is active of not?
Thanks!
It displays a headlight with an "a" on it on the dash to show that the auto high beam is on.
Nice one!! Well explained.
Thanks a lot 😊
8:00 Acctually it's the oposite. "Thinner bar" means less rain drops is needed for wiper to react. It's the same in all Japanese cars.
17:00 Again, it's the oposite :)
Sorry but this isn’t quite right. I’m literally sat in the same car reading it’s manual right now and it says ‘rotate the switch upwards for higher sensitivity (faster response) or rotate it downward for less sensitivity (slower response).
So… Thinner end = less sensitivity to rain.
Good and informative thanks. I'm about to take delivery of a 21 plate G20 Pure over here in Australia that's the base model. No cd player which is a bit of a bummer but.. just one question.. Either side of the Speedo cluster there are 2 buttons.. I think one might be a brightness setting for the clocks.. but what's the other one? Trip reset?
Correct! I’m sure you will love your new car 🚗 I
It’s rather curious that even though your Mazda3 is right hand drive, the light/indicator wand and wipers wand are set up for left hand drive. Here in Australia, also right hand drive, the indicator/lights wand is correctly on the right and the wipers wand is on the left.
Correctly, why should what you are used to be the correct way there is no correct way.
Nice explanatory video! But what are these 2 red LEDs on the left Part of the infotainment display for? Appears to be some kind of infrared I guess?
Correct they monitor the driver for the Driver Attention Alert system.
Please show how to set coordinates for a location in the sat nav.
Thanks for the video. I’ve got mine on order and should be picking it up in a couple of months (no CD player 😢) so this is very useful to watch. There is one thing I’m unsure of… what’s that circle for on the right of the screen? I assume a sensor of some sort?
Correct! It is the driver monitoring camera that detects changes in the drivers facial features and estimates the amount of accumulated fatigue and sleepiness of the driver.
Hello, next to the 30 sign on the cluster (and on the HUD) I have another 30 sign with an arrow underneath. Can't figure out what it means? Any ideas?
Love it, so good
Glad you like it!
Just a question about the HBC, do you have to push the lever forward if you want to use this feature (as though you were using the High Beam manually)?
I just press the button on the side and it works for me like that
Fantastic information. Can I just ask if the infotainment system supports the use of SD Cards for music playback and are the heated door mirrors activated when the rear demister comes on?
I love your information. Very helpful and a great forum to hear other Q&As. Wondering which model/package has the heated door mirrors?
@@katechen1413 turn on the rear windshield defrost will turn on door mirrors defrost (heated)
I have 2 days left to return the 2021 CX-30 Premium that I just bought where I live. There’s a low audible beep that keeps coming on with no display information in dash or windshield. It’s very faint sounding when driving all speeds. No idea what it is detecting or telling. Please help us if you can. Thanks.
Can a dashcam be wired into a power supply in the roof console in a CX30?
Excellent!
Many thanks!
I know you guys are from EU, but I have a 2020 mazda3 premium with every option that I bought a month ago, and am thinking about upgrading to the new turbo premium plus when that comes out. What are the new features and trim will be changed from from the current premium to the premium plus? I’ve read that they added the aluminum/chrome peice around the starter, I’m assuming that’s also with the chrome in the steering wheel around the mazda logo, and the glovebox handle? I know we are finally getting a heated steering wheel, and the 360 camera system, and a few more saftey features but what else can we expect?
There is going to be turbo version?
Great vdo! Is there a way to adjust my rear view mirror cos mine doesnt move!
Very interested by the indicator stalk. There is an odd history with stalks.
Generally the indicator stalk is on the opposite side to the shifter. Reason being is that a driver can chang gears with one hand while indicating with the other. In Australia this would be left hand for gear and right for indicator. In Europe/Americas the reverse is true.
But sadly European car makers never understood this and would never change the indicator position, leaving it on the left for all markets.
Asian manufacturers like Mazda, Toyota understood this so would always install the indicator on the correct side (right) for right hand drive countries.
But seems the UK has decided to be the only right hand drive market that installs the indicator on the wrong side, potentially because the UK is predominantly European models that were inconsiderate in the first place.
Thankfully most markets don’t have manual anymore (so it’s no longer an annoyance). Although the UK is one of the few counties left where manual transmissions are still always provided as an option.
Didn't know about the history, always been familiar with the indicator being on the right on my previous cars in the UK (Ford/Vauxhall). When I got my first Mazda, indicator on the left caught me out. Fortunately, it's an auto, so not a problem. Guess it may be inconvenient of I was to use the manual shift feature of the gearbox.
How to set an keyless, key sensor & touchpad feature ?
I have a question question About the tail lights
While driving should all 4 circle ⭕️ lights work or only 2 of them because i own the mazda 3 2022 carbon edition and only 2 of them working in red !
Thanks for all the info. Just wanted to ask if you can play music from your phone (Spotify) without using Apple car play but wireless (Bluetooth).
Also, where is the best place (online) to purchase Mazda 3 (2020 sedan) accessories? I am based in Europe (Cyprus).
Thanks
Don't know about Apple, but Android can connect sound over Bluetooth with no issue
Just set up a Bluetooth connection without usb connection to the car and it will work.
Or if your phone needs power you better set the start Android Auto or Carplay on manual choice every time.
helps a lot thankyou
You're welcome.
i did like to know on button functions on driver s wheel that you said you wont explain it in this video.
Can you change the look of the centre tft display to the one you had in an sel lux model ?
My INFO button does nothing when pressed ?
Thank you, sir
You are welcome!
Just purchased a 24 Plate CX30. It has an intermittent beeping noise. I checked the speed settings etc to see if it was that, but nothing. Any ideas what this could be? TIA
Great video, but I'm left with a couple of questions.
Any idea why there is seemingly a smattering of both rest of the world, and American units of measurement? Miles on display as opposed to Km, when temperature is in C, not F.
Is the CD player a strictly UK option for that model? I have a PP sedan, and I _wish_ I had that!
The cd player is nolonger an option on new cars
@@mazdagurus5451 I have a 2021. I'm guessing that's probably too new to be retrofit.
You need to press on your phone screen to do manual focus if your camera doesn't focus automatically for you :)
Also you forgot to explain the Trip button and the Instrument Panel lights button on the sides of instrument panel lol
And there's also the hidden button on the side of the glove box but that is not that important
I assumed the buttons at the edges of the instrument panel (at 2:25) are the trip counter and panel lighting adjustment.
Tom loved the video as I just purchased a Mazda CX 30. Can you tell me how to turn on my identification on incoming calls. Thank you, John
@@mazdagurus5451
Thank you,I will give that a go.
With istop, it depends on the pressure on the brake pedal. If it's light the car won't shut off. If it is pressed down fully it will shut off. Just be light-footed if you're not stopping long.
Thank you for that tip.
Hi, one question of the wiper switch. If one left the switch on active position and leave the car and on next morning the wipers has frozen stuck on the windscreen... What happens?
I have an older CX-5; the controls look the same as this. If the rain sensor on the screen detects droplets, the wipers will activate. On a cold morning, I would always carefully free up the wiper blades before I press the start switch. Don't want to risk damaging the blades, motor, fuses.
Does the 2022 Mazda CX30 have the garage opener in the interior rearview mirror? Does anyone know?
Hi Tom, this is John Jones from Churchdown. Is there a way of resetting the average mpg little arrow on the fuel consumption scale?
Hi, please see this video we have made for you ua-cam.com/video/lm7cMwugl9E/v-deo.html
From what I know, turn indicator stalk is on the left side, regardless of the steering wheel left or right side. Other than that, nice introduction 👍
Thank you for your kind words
In Australia, the indicator stalk is on the right, even though we drive/sit on the same side.
In England the indicator & lights stalk is on the left due to Euro specifications where they all drive on the wrong side of the road. The Australian cars are covered under the Australian design rules and have the stalk on the right side. In Aust I drive an English build Honda Civic hatch which has a left side stalk our other Honda made in Japan has it on the right. It does not take long to get used to the change when switching between vehicles. I am however about to place an order for a CX30 so this video will come in very handy. Thank You.
Thanks for your great video. Now I don't have to read Mazda's user's manual. Btw What a wonderful weather ;-)
Hi Mazda Gurus -
1st time ever owning a Mazda - have Mazda 3, 2019 Skyactiv G Sport Lux - great car - this is also BEST MOST INFORMATIVE CHANNEL ☺
Have issue with auto-folding power mirrors - only had car a week and suddenly they do not auto fold upon leaving/entering car - I? checked settings in infotainment channel and it is ticked to auto-fold but they wont anymore - they fold fine when I press button on drivers door - any ideas - am I missing something??
Thanks
I had this issue on my 2018 CX-3 and it turned out to be a faulty door lock. Do they fold out if you start the engine? My dealership (Lansdown Mazda) sorted it in a couple of hours under warranty so worth asking.
Tom I would like to know how to dim my screen in the CX30 as there is too much glare when night driving
@@mazdagurus5451 In Australia the cx30 has a 2 setting button on the right hand side of the instrument cluster. One button dims and the other button brightens the screen. Another tip is to read the manual for specific settings, seems there are variances in models around the world. 👍😉
How do I work my cruise control
Just got my 2023 Mazda 3 delivered last week. Can someone please let me know what's the speaker diameter.. I need to replace the stock one.
Does leaving the headlights on automatic consume significant battery?
Not at all.
how do i turn off my 2021 mazda cx30 passenger airbag off when no one is riding in that seat ... it's driving me crazy! Thanks ... great video ... much appreciated.
If you really want you can manually switch the airbag off in majority of our cars using the switch in the glovebox (you need to insert your key to switch it off). Airbags are a huge safety feature so probably not best to switch them off just because the warning light is on to show you that passenger airbag is off. If you do switch it off remember to switch it back on when you have a passenger.
Does the autohold system operate the foot brake or the parking brake?
It is the foot brake.
All I want to do is turn the radio off and still be able to get voice information when I'm using the on-screen gps maps.
Can't help but notice the fact that this is a RHD UKDM car, but it has the lighting controls on the left as opposed to the JDM RHD cars that have the lighting controls on the right. I have one in Asia and it's a Japan Made, RHD with the lighting controls on the right. howcome?
14:17 Why won’t you go into that button? What does it do?
In the USA premium top of the line, We don’t get the electric folding mirrors, istop, fog lights, 360 camera, Heated steering wheel, or cup holder cover. Don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever owned, and I love the red interior, but why drop all these features? Cost? I would’ve gladly paid a little more. Crazy.
We don't get a sun roof'
Sorry i was talking about the CX5.
Ya why is that?!
It gets frigging cold here in the USA and a heated steering wheel would be nice.
How do you protect the piano or glossy black interior
You can't. Always shows up marks and dust, same on my 2014 CX-5. Wish they had replaced that on the CX-30, with say a dark grey 'brushed metal' effect plastic.
Can you please tell me what the button with the star on does?
Favourite , eg. your fav. radio stations, your work/home routes
The mute on steering wheel is interesting. I dont think my 09 nissan has that. I would just shut the radio off. Decent tutorial. Thx.
How do you close (completely or partially) the air vents?
Does not appear to be a shut off on each vent. Assume you simply point the louvres downwards. That in combination with the flow selector (screen Vs feet) and fan speed selector probably does the job. A shut off on each vent might be more effective, but clutter the asthetics.
How do I get clock to show on screen when I am driving
I have a very specific question about the new Navigation area. I found it once but now I cannot. There is a way to take a favorite which you created using a street address and edit it so you can give a name to the favorite. If you could show me how to get to that screen, I would be eternally grateful. I was a wiz on the 2016 Mazda 3, but I just got a 2021 and I am floundering a bit. Thanks.
