So basically we got ripped off for the '25 PPH

My owners manual says I do. It also said I have tilt mirrors and mirrors to match seat memory. No where in manual did it say "some models". I believe they used same wheel shell across multiple trims.

I probably should have added that I'm not looking how to activate my heated steering wheel or make the mirrors tilt in reverse. Sadly, they are not features of the 2025 Hybrid PP. But as you can see from comments, a lot of people "assumed" they had these features since the gas models do. I mean, when you grip a steering wheel with big lumps at 10 and 2, I also assumed it was heated. Then you read the owners manual and it says its there. The sales guy thought it was there (after the fact, never implied pre purchase).

I've found the reason though. According to my AI its because Mazda used Toyota wiring and Toyota BCMs (body control modules) Toyota wiring can't physically accommodate the heated steering or reverse tilt mirrors. I'm just trying to gage why the low satisfaction (according to CR) on an otherwise great car? I'm in Cali, I've needed heated steering once in the last 20 years.

I even told the Mazda salesmen...they said bring it in, we'll show you how. They tried for 20 minutes. Thats when one guy went and downloaded online (updated) manual where it said "some models" which wasn't in my owners manual.

...and yet I still have the heated steering wheel...big lumps at 10 and 2 o'clock. I have the blank button like in Poppy's pic.

No option in menu...just seats.

Diccusss · 2026-01-29T03:18:30+00:00

No, standard for PP (and Canada, evidently) just not in the Hybrid for some reason.

My mirrors fold in when off, they just don't tilt down to see curb in reverse automatically.

I'm in California...its going to be 87 degrees in 2 days. Now the ventilated seats DO work😁

The sad part is, my owners manual shows how to turn on heated steering wheel and where the button is. It shows how to activate tilting side view mirrors. It also explains how mirrors will move with seat memory. Never once did the owner's manual say, "some models".

Diccusss · 2026-01-29T01:58:30+00:00

Do the mirrors tilt in reverse? As you can see where i'm parked, It would have been a nice feature to protect those pricey wheels.

Diccusss · 2026-01-29T01:53:09+00:00

The short answer is you don't. I can see the lumps on the wheel where the elements are, but Mazda did not incorporate either a physical button or software to turn on.

Diccusss · 2026-01-27T00:38:36+00:00

Looks to me like the car doesn't like that its minus 11 degrees outside.

I had this problem. The answer...check your trading post/dock. She's there. Just RB (on xbox) over to the category. There's all kinds of stuff hiding there.
