What makes a Mazda CX 5 go off road?
When all four wheels are on the ground, i-Activ AWD is so good at controlling front/rear torque split that it doesn’t need a special off-road mode. If conditions are so slick that it needs to lock the torque coupling completely, it can do that, automatically, in a fraction of a second.
Where does the water go in a Mazda MX-5 Miata?
The problem has nothing to do with the air conditioning. The MX-5 has a couple of small pans located behind the seats under the area where the top folds. These pans catch water that runs off the roof and leaks into the passenger compartment where the roof joins the car.
How does I-Activ AWD work on Mazda CX 5?
In rare cases on uneven paths when a wheel could leave the ground, i-Activ AWD will sense that wheelspin and lock the torque coupling so the front and rear wheels go the same speed. But on especially rough terrain, this might not be enough. Imagine a wobbly restaurant table with a matchbook wedged under its short leg to keep it from rocking.
How does traction control work on Mazda CX-5?
To stop them, we have to use the traction control system to apply the brakes to the spinning tires, forcing torque over to the tires that are on the ground. In any other situation, we want the traction control system to apply the brakes as smoothly as possible, so there’s no interruption in the driver’s control of the car.
