NOTE
y (For vehicles with type C instrument
cluster*1 ) If the engine speed is about to exceed
the permissible engine speed, the buzzer
sounds.
Refer to Over Rev. Buzzer on page 7-39 .
*1 To determine which instrument cluster is equipped on your Mazda,
Refer to Meters and Gauges on page
4-12 .
y If shifting to R is diffi cult, shift back
into neutral, release the clutch pedal,
and try again.
Gear Shift Indication *
The gear shift indication supports you to
obtain optimum fuel economy and smooth
driving. It displays the selected gear
position in the instrument cluster as well
as notifi es the driver to change to the most
suitable gear position corresponding to the
actual driving condition.
Selected gear position Suitable gear position
Indication Condition
Numeral The selected gear position is
displayed.
and numeral Shift up or down to the indicated
gear position is recommended.
CAUTION
Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving
situation might require shift operations
diff erent from indication. To avoid the
risk of accidents, the road and traffi
c
conditions have to be judged correctly
by the driver before shifting.

i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP *
On conventional vehicles, the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle is
decelerated by applying the brakes or during engine braking ends up bein\
g discarded as
heat. By utilizing this discarded kinetic energy to generate electricity and use it to power the
vehicle's electrical devices and accessories such as the A/C and audio, fuel consumption can
be reduced. Mazda's system for generating electricity from this kinetic \
energy is called the
Regenerative Braking System (i-ELOOP).

When Driving
Drive Selection
Drive Selection *
Mazda Drive Selection provides an opportunity to select a different driving characteristic
when SPORT mode is activated. By selecting SPORT mode, greater vehicle response
is achieved through automatic adjustments in transaxle shift control and\
engine throttle
control. This provides additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safel\
y make
maneuvers such as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
NOTE
If driving long distances in SPORT mode, the fuel economy will decrease due to the
frequency of driving in lower gears. Driving in SPORT mode all of the time is not
recommended. SPORT mode is best used only in situations requiring quick, responsive
driving.
