Shift-Lock System

The shift-lock system prevents shifting
out of P unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

To shift from P:

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine.

3. Move the shift lever.

NOTE

l

When the ignition switch is in the ACC or
LOCK position, the shift lever cannot be
shifted from P.

l

To be sure the vehicle is in park,

the

ignition key cannot be removed unless the
shift lever is in P.

q

Shift-Lock Override

If the shift lever will not move from P
using the proper shift procedure, continue
to hold down the pedal.

1. Remove the shift-lock override cover

using a cloth-wrapped flat head
screwdriver.

2. Insert a screwdriver and push it down.

3. Move the shift lever.

4. Take the vehicle to an Authorized

Mazda Dealer to have the system
checked.

q

Manual Shift Mode

This mode gives you the feel of driving a
manual transaxle vehicle by operating the
shift lever and allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the front wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired.

To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.

NOTE

Changing to manual mode can be done while
driving the vehicle with no damage occurring
to the transaxle.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift
the lever from M to D.
