Transmission
MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if equipped)
Manual Shift Mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transmission by
allowing you to manually shift to control engine rpm and torque when more
control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode:
• Shift the lever from D to M.
To Shift Up
To A Higher Gear:
• Pull the steering UP
switch (+) once or
tap the shift lever
back (+) once.
To Shift Down
To A Lower Gear:
• Pull the steering DOWN
switch (-) once or tap
the shift lever forward
(-) once.
- DOWN Shift Switch+ UP Shift Switch
(if equipped)
DRIVE SELECTION (if equipped)
By selecting Sport mode, greater vehicle
response is achieved through automatic
adjustments in transmission shift control
and engine throttle control. This provides
additional quick acceleration which may
be needed to safely make maneuvers such
as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or
passing other vehicles.
Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT
mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.
NOTE:
• If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT
mode is switched off. SPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
• When the ignition is switched off, SPORT mode is also switched off.
• Fuel consumption increases slightly when using SPORT mode.
NOTE: Steering Shift
Switches can be used in
“D” or “M”.

ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission shifts gears
based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may stay
in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or down hills or driving
around corners. This feature gives you better control and a more connected
driving experience.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a
kickdown switch designed to allow optimal
engine performance while accelerating.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the
way, you will feel an increase in resistance.
Push harder, and you will feel a click as you
activate the kickdown switch. The transmission
will usually downshift (depending on engine
speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is
the same in both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
I M P O R TA N T: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0
seconds while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when
accelerating the vehicle from
a stop while on a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released
and the accelerator pedal is pushed, HL A prevents the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope when the shift lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is
in a position other than the reverse (R) position. www.MazdaUSA.com
