When the ignition is switched ON, the
wrench indicator light turns on and then
turns off after a few seconds.

The wrench indicator light turns on
when the preset maintenance period
arrives. Verify the content and perform
maintenance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on page
6-15 .
SKYACTIV-D 1.5

the following conditions:
 


 The engine oil has deteriorated.



 The engine oil level is around the MIN
mark on the dipstick or it is less than the
MIN mark.
*  


 The engine oil level is around the X
mark on the dipstick or it exceeds the X

*
Check the engine oil. Refer to Inspecting
Engine Oil Level on page 6-28 .
Replace the engine oil if the wrench
indicator light does not turn off even
though the engine oil level is in the normal
range.
NOTE
  Depending on the vehicle use
conditions, the wrench indicator light
may turn on for reasons other than
the preset maintenance period.
  Whenever the engine oil is replaced,
a reset of the vehicle engine control
unit is necessary.
 Your Authorised Mazda Repairer
will be able to reset the engine
control unit or see page 6-27 for
the Vehicle engine control unit reset
procedure.
Low Engine Coolant Temperature
Indicator Light (Blue)

The light illuminates continuously when
the engine coolant temperature is low and
turns off after the engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant temperature
indicator light remains illuminated after
the engine has been suf¿ ciently warmed
up, the temperature sensor could have a
malfunction. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

When Driving
Manual Transaxle Operation
Manual Transaxle Shift
Pattern

5-speed transaxle
6-speed transaxle Neutral position
Neutral position

The vehicle is equipped with either a
5-speed or 6-speed transaxle. The shift
pattern for each is shown above.

Depress the clutch pedal all the way down
while shifting; then release it slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a device to
prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake.
Push the shift lever downward and shift
to R.



WARNING
Do not use sudden engine braking
on slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine
braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tyre speed could
cause the tyres to skid. This could
lead to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.

Always leave the shift lever in 1 or
R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended:
Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.
CAUTION
  Keep your foot off the clutch pedal
except when shifting gears. Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
on an upgrade. Riding the clutch
will cause needless clutch wear and
damage.
  Do not apply any excessive lateral
force to the shift lever when
changing from 5th to 4th gear. This
could lead to the accidental selection
of 2nd gear, which could result in
damage to the transaxle.
  Make sure the vehicle comes to a
complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the transaxle.

4–47
When Driving
Manual Transaxle Operation
NOTE
  If shifting to R is dif¿ cult, shift back
into neutral, release the clutch pedal,
and try again.
  (With i-stop function)  If the engine has stopped due to
stalling, it can be restarted by
depressing the clutch pedal within 3
seconds of the engine stopping.
 The engine cannot be restarted even
if the clutch pedal is depressed under
the following conditions:
 


 The driver's door is open.



 The driver's seat belt is unfastened.



 The clutch pedal is not released
completely after the engine stalled.
 


 The clutch pedal is depressed with
the engine not stopped completely.
 
 (With parking sensor system)  When the shift lever is shifted to the
R position with the ignition switched
ON, the parking sensor system is
activated and a beep sound is heard.
 Refer to Parking Sensor System on
page 4-204 .
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) supports
you to obtain optimum fuel economy and
smooth driving. It displays the selected
gear position in the instrument cluster as
well as noti¿ 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 different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traf¿ c conditions
have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.

Indicates that you must hold in the lock-release button to shift.
Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal and hold in the lock-release

Various Lockouts:

NOTE
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle that
gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to
shift gears. Even if you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional
automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift
mode and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you
notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, con¿ rm you have not
accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 4-53 ).
