Active Driving Display*
▼Active Driving Display
1. Display
2. Dust-proof sheet
WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous
as doing so could distract your attent
ion from the road ahead and lead to an
accident.
CAUTION
 Do not place beverages near the dust-proof sheet of the active driving display. If
water or other liquids are splashed on the dust-proof sheet, it could cause
damage.
 Do not place objects or apply stickers above the active driving display or to the
dust-proof sheet as they will cause interference.
NOTE
Wearing polarized sunglasses will reduce the visibility of the active driving display
due to the characteristics of the display.
If the battery has been removed and re-ins talled or the battery voltage is low, the
adjusted position may deviate.
The display may be difficult to view or temporarily affected by weather conditions
such as rain, snow, light, and temperature.
If the audio system is removed, the active driving display cannot be operated.

Tra n s m i s s i o n R a n ge s
▼Transmission Ranges
The shift position indication in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
Refer to Shift Position Indication on
page 4-40.
Shift the selector lever to the P or N
position to start the engine.
P (Park)
P locks the transmission and prevents
the front wheels from rotating.
WARNING
Always set the selector lever to P
position and set the parking brake:
Only setting the selector lever to the P
position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous.
If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
CAUTION
 Shifting into P, N or R while the
vehicle is moving can damage your
transmission.
 Shifting into a driving gear or reverse
when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the
transmission.
R (Reverse)
In position R, the vehicle moves only
backward. You must be at a complete
stop before shifting to or from R,
except under rare circumstances as
explained in Rocking the Vehicle (page
3-53).
NOTE
(With parking sensor system)
When the selector 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
4-231.
N (Neutral)
In N, the wheels and transmission are
not locked. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless the
parking brake or brakes are on.
WARNING
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
transmission 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.

Driving Tips
▼Driving Tips
WARNING
Do not let the vehicle move in a
direction opposite to the direction
selected by the selector lever:
Do not let the vehicle move backward
with the selector lever in a forward
position, or do not let the vehicle
move forward with the selector lever in
the reverse position. Otherwise, the
engine may stop, causing the loss of
the power brake and power steering
functions, and make it difficult to
control the vehicle which could result
in an accident.
Pa s s i n g
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing steep grades,
depress the accelerator fully. The
transmission will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed.
NOTE
The accelerator pedal may initially
feel heavy as it is being depressed,
then feel lighter as it is depressed
further. This change in pedal force
aids the engine control system in
determining how much the
accelerator pedal has been
depressed for performing kickdown,
and functions to control whether or
not kickdown should be performed.
Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped
position:
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Shift to D or M1, depending on the
load weight and grade steepness.
3. Release the brake pedal while
gradually accelerating.
Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift
to lower gears, depending on load
weight and grade steepness. Descend
slowly, using the brakes only
occasionally to prevent them from
overheating.

The M Hybrid battery is charged
automatically during engine operation
and by deceleration regeneration.
Therefore, it is not necessary to charge
the battery from outside of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Drive the vehicle for about 30 minutes
once every few months because
self-discharge occurs gradually if the
vehicle is not driven for a long period
of time. If the M Hybrid battery
becomes completely discharged and
M Hybrid cannot be activated, contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If the M Hybrid battery is not handled
properly, the following may occur and
cause serious injury:
 Touching an unattended or illegally
abandoned M Hybrid battery may
cause electrocution.
 If the M Hybrid battery is used on a
vehicle other than one equipped
with M Hybrid (including modified
vehicles), accidents such as
electrocution, heat generation,
smoking , combustion, and
explosions, or an electrolyte leakage
may occur.
Scrapping Your Vehicle and Disposing
