How To Remote Start A Mazda CX-5

To remotely start your Mazda CX-5, you can utilize the MyMazda App, which provides a range of functions to enhance your convenience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature:

  1. Install the MyMazda App: Download and install the MyMazda App on your smartphone. Ensure you have registered your vehicle within the app to access its features.

  2. Remote Start: Within the app, navigate to the remote start function. Here, you will be able to start the Mazda CX-5's engine remotely. This feature allows the cabin to be preconditioned to the same climate control settings as when the engine was last turned off, making it comfortable in extreme weather conditions before you enter the vehicle.

  3. Additional Remote Functions: Besides starting the engine, the MyMazda App also allows you to lock and unlock the doors remotely. This is particularly useful if you forget to lock the Mazda CX-5 or if you need to unlock it for someone else without a key.

  4. Vehicle Status and Alerts: The app provides updates on your Mazda CX-5's status, including fuel levels, door lock status, and more. You can also set alerts to notify you if you've left the doors unlocked or the hazard lights on, helping to prevent battery drain.

Using these features not only enhances your comfort but also ensures the Mazda CX-5 is ready and waiting for you with optimal interior conditions regardless of the outside weather​. (Mazda USA)​.

Remote Start With Your Key Fob

  1. Ensure the Key Fob Has Remote Start Capability: Not all key fobs have this feature, so verify that yours does.

  2. Activate Remote Start: Press and hold the lock button on your key fob for a few seconds. Depending on your model and year, you might hear a confirmation sound or the hazard lights might flash to indicate that the engine is starting.

  3. Operating Range: The key fob generally works within a certain distance from the Mazda CX-5, so ensure you are within this range for the feature to function.
