How the Lights Work on a Mazda CX-5

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 1, KE - Years 2012-2017
Part: Light bulb

In today's video, you will see how the lights work on the Mazda CX-5. Locate the left lever that controls their operation. The initial position is off, meaning the lights are off except for the daytime running lights. The second position is auto, which automatically manages the headlights depending on external light conditions. You will also find the position lights and fixed dipped beams. The second dial, the inner one, activates the fog lights (both front and rear) and works with all positions except the off setting. In auto, it will always depend on the light conditions.
