Default 2025 CX-5 Premium Plus turn off traction control?

My 2025 CX-5 premium plus is currently stuck in the snow at my residence. Alot of information suggestions disabling the traction control to help assist getting it out. I have watched videos and read the manual but I have no button like everyone else for turning it off by all the other buttons,lane centering and I-Stop etc.. I just may be a dolt but does anyone know how to turn it off on the 2025 model?

I will triple check. To the left side of the steering wheel there is no button for it.I have the LKAS,Rear Trunk, I-stop and 360 degree camera. I checked the menus on the radio and I couldn't find it. I will keep on looking but I usually wouldn't ask this question if it was so obvious.

I've read somewhere that off road mode and turning TCS off are basically the same thing, hence why the newer years don't have a button for it.

Whenever in question about what features any and specifically your Mazda is to contact the Mazda dealership give them your VIN and get the exact correct answer.

No need to read it somewhere and hope it’s the correct answer

welcome to the forum..

interesting way to post something as a new forum member?…



Sorta brings to thought when was the last time anyone ever read the info on the sun visor?

After some extensive online research, I found according to Mazda Motor Corporate Global, the 2025 CX-5 does not have a button, and you cannot turn off the TCS.
And yet the 2025 owner's manual states: TCS OFF Switch (Some Models)
Meaning Mazda is contradicting itself and/or never updated the owner's manual.
To verify either, you should probably contact Mazda Corporate directly.

Which means you are in your right mind, and I and others here have been chastising you needlessly.
