2022 CX-5 - IS IT POSSIBLE TO TURN OFF DRLs ?
Have a 2022 CX-5 just over a year. This is low priority but , I cannot locate any way to turn off the DRLs, even for one driving cycle -like SCBS which will reactivate after turing the ignition off -then back on. The only way Ive found to do this , is removing the fuse - which is not happening since the headlights run thru the same fuse- and its absurd unless its an emergency . Any suggestions would be appreciated .

You can pull the fuse , install an off/on switch or a possible sequence using the brakes, light and ignition switch etc., that may work to turn them completely off. I tried it and it did not work for me or a couple Mazda's I attempted the procedure . So cant recommend it but you can find it on the WWW.

On my 2021 I pulled the DRL relay from the fuse box under the hood. No more DRL

Why disable daytime running lights?
Uh, by DRL, you are referring to daytime running lights, right? They seem to me to be a good safety feature. Different owners, different needs--I get that. But why disable them?

There are circumstance that you don't want to be seen!!
Also if you are competitively driving in some track regulations, they do not allow DDL.
Personal preference, of controlling that which appears not to be controllable. Which is my favorite
The FORSscan(*limited ECU/TCM access) nor will *Soleus (*waaaaay better for diagnostic work, no limitation accept ECU, PID individual calibrating) will not do this to all the VIN model Mazda's and basically goes back to forcing a protocol, same thing as attempting to manually doing the procedure I mentioned looking for earlier.

Not sure why you want to turn them off, they are a proven safety feature.
It's required for motorcycles in my state (and others) and also required in Canada which borders Maine.
The US is always behind in safety measures, we generally prefer to have people injured, maimed or killed over enacting safety regulations.

I do agree that they are a proven safety feature.

Yes, sure... Advise your insurer! NOT!
