When Driving  
Drive Selection  
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  
ꢀyꢀWhen the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases and it may  
increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends to cancel the sport mode on normal  
driving.  
ꢀyꢀDrive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:  
ꢀyꢀABS/TCS/DSC is operating  
ꢀyꢀSteering wheel is being operated abruptly  
*Some models.
