MAZDA 6

[Toon_army]

Hi Jiak,

 

Noted and hence no need to have recommendation to use brake control then which in opinion is risky ... drive as normal then.

 

Cheers.

I think if you can remember to control your brake you should be able to remember pressing the istop button to deactivate it. Anyway most wont be using it throughout so no point to control the activation.

Does anyone have any recommended workshops who are very familiar with Mazda cars? I’m thinking of doing servicing outside even though i still have free servicing with Mazda for one year

 

Rather do outside and have piece of mind than leave my car at tek behind closed doors and wonder what they doing with my car, especially after all the horror stories of cars getting scratched etc

Is the 1k service credits transferable? If yes Im sure many bros here will gladly offer to help you use up the credits.

Haha. Do you know knock hardly on the car seat in front?

 

Yeah when opening/closing door of Audi and Mazda, can feel the difference already.

 

Not sure if it is just me. Even A5 feels less spacious at the back than Mazda 6. Especially for the person sitting in the middle of the back row of Audi, it is highly unlikely for him or her to rest his own her feet on the centre of the transmission tunnel, but for Mazda 6, it is possible.

 

you are not wrong at all, cos a5 is a smaller car!!

 

mz6 is closer to a6 in terms of interior space.

Hi Toon,

 

Oh no, I am not for brake control to avoid SS and I also hope not to having to disable it EVERYtime my wife start the engine .. I disabled the SS with module for her previous qashqai 1.2l.

 

I will go for cardboard fix or try disable module for pre FL mazda 6 from carousell seller.

 

Cheers.

Nope the 1k service credits is tied to your car plate. Cannot be transferred :p

Cause after a while, it become natural and u wont need to press the button, ur legs will know what to do.. the car will come to a complete stop with the istop not activated..

 

Anyway, think most bros not trying to force this idea to the car owner, just sharing there is another way of not activating the istop. U happy , just keep pressing the buttons it your car

Mazda earned the distinction of the safest automaker in the US by having every one of its models earn the coveted Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This year, a different automaker is claiming to be the safest automaker in the US, not because every model has earned the Top Safety Pick+ rating, but by virtue of earning the most Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ ratings.

Hi Budgetice,

 

Understand all for positive sharing and tks ... still, there is alternative hopefully that cardboard fix also shared by one bro else the disable SS module for preFL shared but yours truly works.

 

The fact that we need to share the need to "control braking" or "brake slowly" in the 1st place means braking prematurely on critical braking performance raises my concern.

 

Cheers.

U do not need to brake slowly or control ur brake.. brake as per normal.. when the car comes to a complete stop, release the pedal pressure by abit.. istop will not kick in..

i don't drive mazda 6, just curious the button to deactivate istop is very difficult to reach?, or it need to go thru many steps?, or it keep reactivate by itself throughout the journey?

 

sorry to ask as i see your response like it seem difficult to deactivate istop while driving?

Nope, not difficult.. some people just dont like to press..

 

I used to press it until one day i tried the braking method and from then on, no issue already.. sometime will still mis-que though... lol

Hi Budgetice,

 

Noted and thanks again .... "release pedal pressure a bit" is not normal which I do not recommend nor cordon but great to know that you do not brake prematurely to risk others which may not be the case with other bros ... hence this continued different in opinion but up to bros to consider ... whatever that rock our boats.

 

I will still try cardboard trick mentioned by one bro here or just install disable SS module if it works as I hope my CO do not get into the habit of "release the pedal pressure a bit" but just brake as normal regardless SS or not.

 

Again I am proponent of using the right tool for the right job especially on such critical braking performance and there is already alternatives ...hopefully.

 

Cheers,

Hi Contipro,

 

Not difficult to reach or many steps ... same per normal that is reachable and just one press of the button.

 

No, I am not aware any SS design will reactivates itself ... until you switch off the engine and it get activated when engine is restart by default.

 

Nevertheless, while many bros are ok with disactivating SS everytime they starts their car, I do not and same for my CO and by 84 yrs old FIL with his Harrier and hence my decision on the alternative of commonly and commercially available disable SS module.

 

However, I am adamant that bros should not play around with "brake control" as recommended by some bros here to risk others with either preamature braking or lapse in "brake control" even if they do not think there is risk to themselves or co-drivers in the families.

Hope clearer now.

Cheers,

Hi Richard, not forcing u lah.. just that every now and then go ppl come in and ask if the button is diff to press..

 

Mentioned before.. for sharing only , not forcing anyone to follow the method..

 

But do note sometimes during cold start the car will sound like a hugh explosion.. not sure if it affects all the mazda.. lol

[Hope_n_pray]

I think only Mazda owners will understand how easy and safe it actually is to control the istop with our brake pressure. Hard to explain in words but I think only when you try it out for yourself, then you will know. Releasing the brake pressure slightly still ensure that the brakes are fully engaged. Car does not continue moving. istop only kicks in when you press the brake really hard past a certain point.

 

I'm a Mazda owner myself driving Mazda 3 which I assume should not be too different from other Mazdas.

Hi Budgetice,

 

Noted and all good ... also just sharing my thoughts for alternate options which I still believe betta and not mess around with "brake control" since already with past experience with disable module for 2 recent rides ... plug and forget.

 

Waah ... huge explosion sounds a bit too much and dramatic leh ... keke !

Hi Hope,

 

Dunno leh ... just sgd100+ or 0.1% of paid 100k+ to install and forget to have less stressful ride ... not sure why not a better alternative than control this and control that especially with risky brakes ... else manually disable everytime then.

 

Again, hope bros practicing "brake control" to avoid activation of SS do not inconvenient or  even put others at risk with premature braking or lost control when timing " release a bit"

Cause TEK is very sticky on the warranty.. anything installed , they will most likely void the warranty even if there is no harm done to the car..

 

$100 is not ex but is the risk of voiding warranty lol

Hi Budgetice,

 

Got it and fully understandable for some bros.

 

Good thing is only 3 yrs warranty and I can show TEK the schematics of such disable SS module that basically act as a automated switch but sure, their call.

 

There is also no such thing as blanket void of warranty and sure, no more warranty to SS button but no chance on me to void this 3 yrs warranty of HU, gearbox, engine, suspension etc..etc. but think you got my point else you have to accept plugging in your phone charger void warranty of your HU, engine, gearbox etc.

 

Btw, MI for my forester is more stringent and do swing by the threads on my mods, continued sign up of MI's service package and also claim of bearing with arguably associated big 6/4 bbk, rims, tyres etc.

 

Cheers.
