▼Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)
The GSI supports you to obtain optimum
fuel economy and smooth driving. It
displays the selected gear position in the
instrument cluster as well as notifies 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 dis-
played.
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 traffic conditions
have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.
NOTE
The GSI turns off when the following
operations are performed.
•The vehicle is stopped.
•The vehicle is put in neutral.
•The vehicle is driven in reverse.
•The clutch is not fully engaged when
accelerating from a stop.
•The clutch pedal remains depressed for
2 seconds or longer while driving.

Recommendations for Shifting
Upshifting
For normal acceleration, Mazda
recommends these shift points:
Gear
Vehicle speed
1 to 2 24 km/h (15 mph)
2 to 3 42 km/h (26 mph)
3 to 4 60 km/h (37 mph)
4 to 5 74 km/h (46 mph)
5 to 6 79 km/h (49 mph)
For cruising, Mazda recommends these
shift points:
Gear Vehicle speed
1 to 2 13 km/h (8 mph)
2 to 3 29 km/h (18 mph)
3 to 4 48 km/h (30 mph)
4 to 5 63 km/h (39 mph)
5 to 6 69 km/h (43 mph)
Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift
before the engine starts to overwork. This
reduces the chance of stalling and gives
better acceleration when you need more
speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting
helps maintain safe speed and prolongs
brake life.

Manual Transaxle Operation

CX-3_8GR7-EA-18B_Edition1 2017-12-20 16:18:14

N (Neutral)
In N, the wheels and transaxle are not
locked. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or brakes are on.
WA R N I N G
If the engine is running faster than idle, do
not shift from N or P into a driving gear:
It's dangerous to shift from N or P into a
driving gear when the engine is running
faster than idle. If this is done, the vehicle
could move suddenly, causing an accident
or serious injury.
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle:
Shifting into N while driving is dangerous.
Engine braking cannot be applied when
decelerating which could lead to an
accident or serious injury.
CAUTION
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.
NOTE
Apply the parking brake or depress the
brake pedal before moving the selector
lever from N position to prevent the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position. From a
stop, the transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence.
M (Manual)
M is the manual shift mode position.
Gears can be shifted up or down by
operating the selector lever. Refer to
Manual Shift Mode on page 4-35.
▼ Shift Position
Indication
The selector position is indicated when the
ignition is switched ON.
Gear position indication
In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift
position indication illuminates and the
numeral for the selected gear is displayed.
▼ Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
Active Adaptive
Shift (AAS)
automatically controls the transaxle shift
points to best suit the road conditions and
driver input. This im proves driving feel.
The transaxle may s witch to AAS mode
when driving up and down slopes,
cornering, driving at high elevations, or
depressing the accelerator pedal quickly
while the selector lever is in the D
position. Depending on the road and
driving conditions/vehicle operations, gear
shifting could be delayed or not occur,
however, this does not indicate a problem
because the AAS mode will maintain the
optimum gear position.

Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)*
The LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white or yellow lines on the traffic lane using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be devia ting from its lane, it notifies
the driver using the active driv ing display (vehicles with active driving display), and by
flashing the LDWS warning light a nd activating the LDWS warning beep.
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white or yellow lines.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera on page 4-130.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The warning light illuminates whe n the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-24.
WA R N I N G
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions:
The system may not operate adequately accordin g to the actual driving conditions, resulting
in an accident.
 Driving on roads with tight curves.
 Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).

▼When the System Operates
1. The system goes on operation standby
when the LDWS OFF switch is
pressed and the LDWS OFF indicator
light in the instrument cluster turns off.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, the driving lane
(border lines) is indicated in the
display.
2. Drive the vehicle in the center of the
driving lane while the LDWS OFF
indicator light i s turned off. The
system becomes operational when all
of the following conditions are met.
•The vehicle is driven in the center of
the driving lane with the white or
yellow lines on the left and right
sides, or on either side.
•The vehicle speed is about 70 km/h
(44 mph) or faster.
•The vehicle is driven on a straight
road or road wit h gentle curves.
The LDWS does not operate in the
following cases:
•The system cannot detect white or
yellow lines.
•The vehicle speed is less than about
65 km/h (40 mph).
•The vehicle is making a sharp turn.
•The vehicle is making a curve at an
inadequate speed.
NOTE
•The LDWS does not operate until the
system detects a white or yellow line on
either the left or right.
•When the system detects a white or
yellow line on one side only, the system
will activate the warning only when the
vehicle deviates on the side where the
white or yellow line is being detected.
•The distance and warning sensitivity
(likelihood of a warning) which the
system uses to determine the possibility
of a lane departure can be changed.

automatically and the LDWS warning
light in the instrument cluster turns on.
•The temperature inside the camera is
high or low.
•The windshield around the camera is
foggy.
•The windshield around the camera is
blocked by an obstruction, causing poor
forward visibility.
The LDWS is enabled automatically when
the operation conditions are met, and the
LDWS warning light turns off.
Auto cancel warning
When the following operations are
performed, the LDWS determines that the
driver intends to make a lane change and
the LDWS warning is canceled
automatically. The LDWS is enabled
automatically after the driver performs the
operation.
•The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
•The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
•The turn signal lever is operated (after
the turn signal lever is returned, the
LDWS may not operate for about 3
seconds which is the period of time
required to make a lane correction).
NOTE
After about 30 seconds have elapsed with
the turn signal lever left operating, the
LDWS warning may operate if the vehicle
is close to a white or yellow line.
▼ Canceling the System
Press the LDWS OFF switch to cancel the
LDWS. The LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
▼Lane Departure Warning System

If the system determines that there is the
possibility of a lane
departure, the LDWS
warning beep activates and the LDWS
warning light flashes. Operate the steering
wheel appropriately and steer the vehicle
to the center of the lane.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, if there is the possibility of
a lane departure, the system indicates the
direction it determines that the vehicle is
deviating in the active driving display.
