Drive Selection

Drive selection is a system to switch

the vehicle's drive mode. When the

sport mode is selected, vehicle's

response against accelerator operation

is enhanced. This provides additional

quick acceleration which may be

needed to safely make maneuvers such

as lane changes, merging onto

freeways, or passing other vehicles.

CAUTION

Do not use the sport mode when

driving on slippery roads such as wet

or snow-covered roads. It may cause

tire slipping.

NOTE



When the sport mode is selected,

driving at higher engine speeds

increases and it may increase fuel

consumption. Mazda recommends

that you cancel the sport mode on

normal driving.
