Can the adaptive cruise be overridden, as in other make cars, so it is just regular cruise control? Thanks

 

Yep, sure can. Press the Home button, scroll to Settings, then Safety Settings, then Driver Assistance System. The top of the resulting list ought to be Mazda Radar Cruise Control, with a tick against it. Click to uncheck it. You’re now on standard cruise control.
I understand that the CX5 can be switched from adaptive to standard cruise control from the buttons on the steering wheel, so bypassing the additional faffing about with iConnect. I tried the CX5 method, but it doesn’t work - Mazda has clearly decided that we CX 30 owners needs much more hand holding and nannying.

 

Thanks….a lot to change it….my civic has a button on the steering wheel to turn it on and off,,,,much easier.
