When Driving
Transmission
Take the vehicle to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to have the system checked.

Manual Shift Mode
The manual shift mode gives you the feel
of driving a manual transmission vehicle
by allowing you to operate the selector
lever manually. This allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels
much like a manual transmission when
more control is desired.
To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.



N O T E
Changing to manual shift mode while
driving will not damage the transmission.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift the
lever from M to D.
N O T E
 


y If you change to manual shift mode
when the vehicle is stopped, the gear
will shift to M1.
 


y If you change to manual shift mode
without depressing the accelerator
pedal when driving in D range, 5th
gear/6th gear, the gear will shift to M4/
M5.

Indicators
Manual shift mode indication
In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift
position indication in the instrument panel
illuminates.
Gear position indication
The numeral for the selected gear
illuminates.


Manual shift mode indication
Gear position indication

N O T E
If the gears cannot be shifted down when
driving at higher speeds, the gear position
indication will À ash twice to signal that
the gears cannot be shifted down (to
protect the transmission).

Interior Features
Climate Control System
O p e r a t i n g T i p s
 












y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
 


y To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with the
ignition switched ON when the engine is
not running.
 


y Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system ef¿ ciency.




y Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 


y The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traf¿ c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 


y Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
 


y If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
 


y Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
 


y Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
ef¿ cient.

 The refrigerant speci¿ cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re¿ lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
  For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
