HOV Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Greetings, everyone. I would want to determine which mode, either the (pure)EV mode or the (regular) mode, offers superior acceleration from 0 to 100. While I acknowledge that the 'sport' mode may provide the highest performance, I prefer to focus on the aforementioned modes to avoid excessive resource consumption. Therefore, I am primarily enquiring about the acceleration capabilities of these two modes. How can I off the car's lane departure correction feature completely? Although I have disabled it in my menu settings, I still see the vehicle making efforts to steer and adjust my position when changing lanes. This carries a significant level of risk. Is there a method to completely and permanently deactivate this feature? Is there a location where I can see the current firmware version loaded in the car? Thank you for any help provided.

Needsnewtyres2 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It is not possible to permanently deactivate the safety systems, since they are designed to reset with each drive. This limitation might be attributed to European bureaucratic regulations. To access the developer/diagnostics menu on the Connect system, you may hit a certain sequence of buttons. However, Mazda does not provide the current Firmware information to the public, making this process somewhat futile. Manipulating your automobile might potentially result in rendering it inoperable. To see the release numbers of your Infotainment software, go to the Info section of the Connet Menu. To determine whether you have the most recent version loaded, use the 'check for updates' feature. Are you unable to determine whether acceleration technique is faster by seeing your own car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOV Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Thank you. It is not possible to permanently deactivate the safety systems, since they are designed to reset with each drive. This is due to regulations imposed by European bureaucrats. This situation is quite disappointing, especially considering the presence of overcompensated individuals who are unproductive in Brussels. Engaging in unauthorised modifications to your vehicle might potentially result in rendering it inoperable. Unable to comply. Are you unable to determine whether acceleration technique is faster by observing your own car? This would include aggressively pressing the accelerator and conducting a test in a location with less traffic and suitable conditions. However, I was under the impression that the wheel had already been developed in this location, and maybe I might use a lift. Thank you for the advice, it is quite beneficial.

blueWING007 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Given that accelerating rapidly in an electric vehicle (EV) would automatically convert the vehicle to Normal mode, the solution to your question is rather clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOV Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 (edited) Wow, all of you have been invaluable sources of knowledge and guidance for me. Thank you.Before departing, I would want to provide some information for the records, as a precautionary measure. If another individual arrives seeking information similar to mine. (By the way, the off-road mode, which is often overlooked, completely astonished me! It was courtesy of 'Dread'.) ...May I attempt it now? :sly:...hahaha heh Edited June 7 by HOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeycut_mazda5 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It is important to note that using the off-road mode on regular roads for everyday driving is not recommended, since it puts excessive strain on the automobile and might accelerate its deterioration compared to other driving modes. While I am not an authority on the subject, I would suggest refraining from using it in any context other than off-road situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOV Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Thank you, honeycut_mazda5...I use it just to scatter dirt onto those Teslas, starting from the headlights. Today, there was a clever and mischievous individual driving a Tesla Model S or Model 3. I disguised myself and drove off-road, taking advantage of the green lights. We were evenly matched for the first three seconds or so, and I can only imagine the agony he had thereafter. LOL.Laughing out loudThe sound of Homura's growl still evokes a strong emotional response, causing goosebumps. I am aware that I should not engage in this behaviour... nevertheless, it is undeniably irrational.In my opinion, we are likely the quickest vehicles on the road, with the exception of a Model X or a modified Porsche. It is rather impressive! -(excluding McLaren and other similar vehicles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
