Driving Your Mazda

Starting and Driving

Form No. 8R29-EA-02I

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.

Manual Shift Mode

This mode gives you the feel of driving a 
manual transaxle vehicle by tapping the 
shift lever forward and back while in this 
mode.

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

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

Indicators

Shift position indicator

In manual shift mode, the "M" of the shift 
position indicator in the instrument panel 
illuminates.

Gear position indicator

In manual shift mode, the numeral for the 
selected gear illuminates below the shift 
position indicator.

NOTE

When the ignition switch is in the 
LOCK position, the transaxle 
cannot be shifted from P.

To be sure the vehicle is in park, 

 

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

NOTE

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

If you tap the shift lever back when 
the vehicle is stopped and the gear 
is at M1, the gear will shift to M2. 
M2 is helpful for starting on 
slippery surfaces.
