Before leaving the driver's seat, always  
switch the ignition oꢀ, set the parking  
brake, and make sure the selector lever is in  
P (automatic transmission) position or in  
1st gear or R (manual transmission):  
Leaving the driver's seat without switching  
the ignition oꢀ, setting the parking brake,  
and shifting the selector lever to P  
(automatic transmission) position or to 1st  
gear or R (manual transmission) is  
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle movement  
could occur which could result in an  
accident.

Manual Transmission Shift  
Pattern  
WARNING  
Do not use sudden engine braking on  
slippery road surfaces or at high speeds:  
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy,  
or frozen roads, or while driving at high  
speeds causes sudden engine braking,  
which is dangerous. The sudden change in  
tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This  
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an  
accident.  
Neutral position  
Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R  
position and set the parking brake when  
leaving the vehicle unattended:  
Otherwise the vehicle could move and  
cause an accident.  
The shift pattern of the transmission is  
conventional, as shown.  
Depress the clutch pedal all the way down  
while shifting; then release it slowly.  
Your vehicle is equipped with a device to  
prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake.  
Push the shift lever downward and shift to  
R.  
CAUTION  
Keep your foot oꢀ the clutch pedal except  
when shifting gears. Also, do not use the  
clutch to hold the vehicle on an upgrade.  
Riding the clutch will cause needless  
clutch wear and damage.  
Do not apply any excessive lateral force  
to the shift lever when changing from  
5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the  
accidental selection of 2nd gear, which  
could result in damage to the  
transmission.  
Make sure the vehicle comes to a  
complete stop before shifting to R.  
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still  
moving may damage the transmission.

2 to 3  
3 to 4  
4 to 5  
5 to 6

53 km/h (33 mph)  
61 km/h (38 mph)  
77 km/h (48 mph)  
Selected gear position Suitable gear position  
4-33  
When Driving  
Manual Transmission Operation  
For cruising, Mazda recommends these  
shift points:  
Gear  
1 to 2  
Vehicle speed  
11 km/h (7 mph)  
2 to 3  
3 to 4  
4 to 5  
5 to 6  
31 km/h (19 mph)  
42 km/h (26 mph)  
55 km/h (34 mph)  
66 km/h (41 mph)  
Downshifting  
When you must slow down in heavy  
traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift  
before the engine starts to overwork. This  
reduces the chance of stalling and gives  
better acceleration when you need more  
speed.  
On a steep downgrade, downshifting  
helps maintain safe speed and prolongs  
brake life.

Indicates that you must hold in the lock-release button to shift.  
NOTE  
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transmission  
that gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the  
transmission to shift gears. Even if you intend to use the automatic transmission functions as  
a traditional automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into  
manual shift mode and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed  
increases. If you notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm  
you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 4-38).

WARNING  
Always set the selector lever to P position  
and set the parking brake:  
if the selector lever is not in P position.  
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.  
Shift-Lock Override  
▼
If the selector lever will not move from P  
using the proper shift procedure, continue  
to hold down the brake pedal.  
1. Remove the shift-lock override cover  
using a cloth-wrapped flat head  
screwdriver.  
CAUTION  
2. Insert a screwdriver and push it down.  
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.  
Cover  
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).  
3. Press and hold the lock-release button.  
4. Move the selector lever.

vehicle speed.  
When depressing the accelerator fully,  
the transmission will shift to a lower  
gear, depending on vehicle speed.  
However, the gears do not kickdown  
while the DSC is turned off.  
WARNING  
Do not use engine braking on slippery road  
surfaces or at high speeds:  
Second Gear Fixed Mode  
▼
When the selector lever is moved back  
while the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h  
(6.2 mph) or less, the transmission is set in  
the second gear fixed mode. The gear is  
fixed in second while in this mode for  
easier acceleration from a stop and driving  
on slippery roads such as snow-covered  
roads.  
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy,  
or frozen roads, or while driving at high  
speeds causes sudden engine braking,  
which is dangerous. The sudden change in  
tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This  
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an  
accident.  
If the selector lever is moved back or  
forward while in the second gear fixed  
mode, the mode will be canceled.  
*Some models.

Shift Gear (Shifting) Speed Limit  
▼
For each gear position while in the manual mode, the speed limit is set as follows: When the  
selector lever is operated within the range of the speed limit, the gear is shifted.  
Shift up  
The gear does not shift up while the vehicle speed is lower than the speed limit.  
Shift down  
The gear does not shift down while the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit.  
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit and the gear does not shift down, the gear  
position indication flashes 2 times to notify the driver that the gear cannot be shifted.  
Kickdown  
When the accelerator pedal is depressed fully while driving, the gear shifts down.  
However, the gears do not kickdown while the DSC is turned off.  
NOTE  
The gear also shifts down using kickdown while in the second gear fixed mode.  
Auto-shift down  
The gear shifts down automatically depending on the vehicle speed during deceleration.  
NOTE  
If the vehicle comes to a stop while in the second gear fixed mode, the gear remains in

Always observe local speed limit regulations.  
Downshifting  
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift before the  
engine starts to overwork. This gives better acceleration when you need more speed.  
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed and prolongs brake life.  
4-42  
When Driving  
Automatic Transmission  
NOTE  
Direct Mode*  
Shifting up and down while in direct mode  
may not be possible depending on the  
vehicle speed. In addition, because direct  
mode is canceled (released) depending on  
the rate of acceleration or if the  
accelerator is fully depressed, use of the  
manual shift mode is recommended if you  
need to drive the vehicle in a particular  
gear for long periods.  
Direct mode can be used for temporarily  
switching gears by operating the steering  
shift switch while the vehicle is being  
driven with the selector lever in the D  
position.  
While in direct mode, the D and M  
indication illuminate and the gear position  
in use is illuminated.  
Direct mode is canceled (released) under  
the following conditions.  
The UP switch (  
) is pulled  
rearward for a certain amount of time or  
longer.  
The vehicle is driven for a certain  
amount of time or longer (time differs  
depending on the driving conditions  
while operating).

Climbing steep grades from a stop  
Driving Tips  
To climb a steep grade from a stopped  
position:  
WARNING  
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.  
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 diꢃcult to  
control the vehicle which could result in an  
accident.  
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.  
Passing  
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.  
While the selector lever is in the M  
position and the DSC is turned off,  
manual shift mode does not switch to  
automatic shift mode even if the  
accelerator pedal is completely  
depressed. Operate the selector lever.

Reprogramming the HomeLink  
system  
▼
▼
Canadian radio-frequency laws require  
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)  
after several seconds of transmission ―  
which may not be long enough for  
HomeLink to pick up the signal during  
programming. Similar to this Canadian  
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed  
to “time-out” in the same manner.  
To program a device to HomeLink using a  
HomeLink button previously trained,  
follow these steps:  
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink  
button. DO NOT release the button.  
2. The indicator light will begin to flash  
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the  
HomeLink button, proceed with  
“Programming” - step 1.  
If you live in Canada or you are having  
difficulties programming a gate operator  
by using the “Programming” procedures  
(regardless of where you live), replace  
“Programming HomeLink” step 3 with  
the following:

Verify that the programming has been  
erased when you resell the vehicle.  
NOTE  
If programming a garage door opener or  
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the  
device during the “cycling” process to  
prevent possible overheating.  
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink  
button while you press and release ―  
every two seconds (“cycle”) your  
hand-held transmitter until the frequency  
signal has successfully been accepted by  
HomeLink. (The indicator light will flash  
slowly and then rapidly.)

Foot Brake  
▼
This vehicle has power-assisted brakes  
that adjust automatically through normal  
use.  
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.  
Increased stopping distance or the vehicle  
pulling to one side when braking could  
result in a serious accident. Light braking  
will indicate whether the brakes have been  
aꢀected.  
Should power-assist fail, you can stop by  
applying greater force than normal to the  
brake pedal. But the distance required to  
stop will be greater than usual.  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
Do not drive with your foot held on the  
clutch pedal or brake pedal, or hold the  
clutch pedal depressed halfway  
unnecessarily. Doing so could result in  
the following:  
Do not coast with the engine stalled or  
turned oꢀ, ꢁnd a safe place to stop:  
Coasting with the engine stalled or turned  
oꢀ is dangerous. Braking will require more  
eꢀort, and the brake's power-assist could  
be depleted if you pump the brake. This will  
cause longer stopping distances or even an  
accident.  
The clutch and brake parts will wear  
out more quickly.  
The brakes can overheat and adversely  
aꢀect brake performance.  
Shift to a lower gear when going down  
steep hills:  
Always depress the brake pedal with the  
right foot. Applying the brakes with the  
unaccustomed left foot could slow your  
reaction time to an emergency situation  
resulting in insuꢃcient braking  
operation.  
Driving with your foot continuously on the  
brake pedal or steadily applying the brakes  
for long distances is dangerous. This causes  
overheated brakes, resulting in longer  
stopping distances or even total brake  
failure. This could cause loss of vehicle  
control and a serious accident. Avoid  
continuous application of the brakes.

▼
When the disc brake pads become worn,  
the built-in wear indicators contact the  
disc plates. This causes a screeching noise  
to warn that the pads should be replaced.  
During emergency braking situations  
when it is necessary to depress the brake  
pedal with greater force, the brake assist  
system provides braking assistance, thus  
enhancing braking performance.  
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or  
depressed more quickly, the brakes apply  
more firmly.  
NOTE  
When the brake pedal is depressed hard  
or depressed more quickly, the pedal  
will feel softer but the brakes will apply  
more firmly. This is a normal effect of  
the brake assist operation and does not  
indicate a malfunction.  
When you hear this noise, consult an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as  
possible.

When Driving  
Brake  
NOTE  
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)*  
HLA does not operate on a gentle slope.  
HLA is a function which assists the driver  
in accelerating from a stop while on a  
slope. When the driver releases the brake  
pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal  
while on a slope, the function prevents the  
vehicle from rolling. The braking force is  
maintained automatically after the brake  
pedal is released on a steep grade.  
For vehicles with a manual transmission,  
HLA operates on a downward slope when  
the shift lever is in the reverse (R)  
position, and on an upward slope when the  
shift lever is in a position other than the  
reverse (R) position.  
For vehicles with an automatic  
transmission, HLA operates on a  
downward slope when the selector lever is  
in the reverse (R) position, and on an  
upward slope when the selector lever is in  
a forward gear.  
In addition, the gradient of the slope on  
which the system will operate changes  
depending on the vehicle's load.  
HLA does not operate if the parking  
brake is applied, the vehicle has not  
stopped completely, or the clutch pedal  
is released.  
While HLA is operating, the brake pedal  
may feel stiff and vibrate, however, this  
does not indicate a malfunction.  
HLA does not operate while the  
TCS/DSC indicator light is illuminated.  
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda  
Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on  
page 7-36.  
HLA does not turn off even if the DSC  
OFF switch is pressed to turn off the  
TCS/DSC.  
WARNING  
Do not rely completely on HLA:  
HLA is an auxiliary device for accelerating  
from a stop on a slope. The system only  
operates for about 2 seconds and  
therefore, relying only on the system, when  
accelerating from a stop is dangerous  
because the vehicle may move (roll)  
unexpectedly and cause an accident.  
The vehicle could roll depending on the  
vehicle's load or if it is towing something. In  
addition, for vehicles with a manual  
transmission, the vehicle could still roll  
depending on how the clutch pedal or the  
accelerator pedal is operated.  
Always conꢂrm the safety around the  
vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.

NOTE  
Antilock Brake System  
(ABS)  
Braking distances may be longer on  
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for  
example) which usually have a hard  
foundation. A vehicle with a normal  
braking system may require less  
distance to stop under these conditions  
because the tires will build up a wedge  
of surface layer when the wheels skid.

system has a malfunction.  
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda  
Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on  
page 7-36.  
WARNING  
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for safe  
driving:  
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe  
and reckless driving, excessive speed,  
tailgating (following another vehicle too  
closely), driving on ice and snow, and  
hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and  
road contact because of water on the road  
surface). You can still have an accident.

When Driving  
ABS/TCS/DSC  
Use snow tires or tire chains and drive at  
reduced speeds when roads are covered  
with ice and/or snow:  
Traction Control System  
(TCS)  
Driving without proper traction devices on  
snow and/or ice-covered roads is  
dangerous. The Traction Control System  
(TCS) alone cannot provide adequate  
traction and you could still have an  
accident.  
The Traction Control System (TCS)  
enhances traction and safety by controlling  
engine torque and braking. When the TCS  
detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers  
engine torque and operates the brakes to  
prevent loss of traction.  
NOTE  
This means that on a slick surface, the  
engine adjusts automatically to provide  
optimum power to the drive wheels,  
limiting wheel spin and loss of traction.  
To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF  
switch (page 4-68).

Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)*  
The LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.  
The system detects the white or yellow lines on the traffic lane using the Forward Sensing  
Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane, it notifies  
the driver by flashing the LDWS warning light and activating the LDWS warning beep, and  
by the multi-information display (vehicles with multi-information display).  
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white or yellow lines.  
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera on page 4-105.

When Driving  
i-ACTIVSENSE  
The functions of the LDWS have limitations:  
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not  
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it  
could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other  
maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the  
vehicle’s surroundings.  
CAUTION  
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the suspensions is  
changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.  
NOTE  
If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and  
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.  
When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is  
automatically canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever  
is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.  
If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the  
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is  
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.  
The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated  
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly  
within a short period of time.  
The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic  
lane.  
Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines  
correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)*  
The SCBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the display  
and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead and  
determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle is being  
driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the system  
reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Smart City Brake  
Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable while the  
vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It may also  
be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle in  
front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver depresses the  
brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph),  
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (Smart City Brake Support

When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also  
lower. When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS  
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tires daily before driving,  
and check tire pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures,  
use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended.  
TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of all four tires  
regularly.

When Driving  
Tire Pressure Monitoring System  
CAUTION  
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and  
inꢁated to the inꢁation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle  
placard or tire inꢁation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a diꢀerent size than the  
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inꢁation pressure label, you should determine  
the proper tire inꢁation pressure for those tires.)  
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring  
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is  
signiꢂcantly under-inꢁated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you  
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inꢁate them to the proper  
pressure. Driving on a signiꢂcantly under-inꢁated tire causes the tire to overheat and can  
lead to tire failure. Under-inꢁation also reduces fuel eꢃciency and tire tread life, and may  
aꢀect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.  
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the  
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inꢁation has not  
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.  
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when  
the system is not operating properly.  
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the  
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will ꢁash for approximately one minute and then  
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle  
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,  
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS  
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement  
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.  
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on  
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to  
continue to function properly.  
To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As  
a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tire deꢁation or blow out.

System Error Activation  
Tires and Wheels  
▼
▼
When the warning light flashes, there may  
be a system malfunction. Consult an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
A system error activation may occur in the  
following cases:  
CAUTION  
When inspecting or adjusting the tire air  
pressures, do not apply excessive force to  
the stem part of the wheel unit. The stem  
part could be damaged.  
When there is equipment or a device  
near the vehicle using the same radio  
frequency as that of the tire pressure  
sensors.  
Changing tires and wheels  
The following procedure allows the TPMS  
to recognize a tire pressure sensor's unique  
ID signal code whenever tires or wheels  
are changed, such as changing to and from  
winter tires.  
When a metallic device such as a  
non-genuine navigation system is  
equipped near the center of the  
dashboard, which may block radio  
signals from the tire pressure sensor to  
the receiver unit.  
NOTE  
Each tire pressure sensor has a unique ID  
signal code. The signal code must be  
registered with the TPMS before it can  
work. The easiest way to do it is to have  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer, change your  
tire and complete ID signal code  
registration.  
When using the following devices in the  
vehicle that may cause radio  
interference with the receiver unit.  
A digital device such as a personal  
computer.  
A current converter device such as a  
DC-AC converter.  
When excess snow or ice adheres to the

are exhausted.  
When using a wheel with no tire  
pressure sensor installed.  
When using tires with steel wire  
reinforcement in the sidewalls.  
When using tire chains.

When Driving  
Tire Pressure Monitoring System  
When changing tires yourself  
Be sure to have the tire pressure sensors  
installed whenever tires or wheels are  
replaced.  
When having a tire or wheel or both  
replaced, the following types of tire  
pressure sensor installations are possible.  
If you or someone else changes tires, you  
or someone else can also undertake the  
steps for the TPMS to complete the ID  
signal code registration.  
1. After tires have been changed, switch  
the ignition ON, then back to ACC or  
OFF.  
2. Wait for about 15 minutes.  
3. After about 15 minutes, drive the  
vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h  
(16 mph) for 10 minutes and the tire  
pressure sensor ID signal code will be  
registered automatically.  
The tire pressure sensor is removed  
from the old wheel and installed to the  
new one.  
The same tire pressure sensor is used  
with the same wheel. Only the tire is  
replaced.  
A new tire pressure sensor is installed to  
a new wheel.  
NOTE  
NOTE  
If the vehicle is driven within about 15  
minutes of changing tires, the tire pressure  
monitoring system warning light will flash  
because the sensor ID signal code would  
not have been registered. If this happens,  
park the vehicle for about 15 minutes,  
after which the sensor ID signal code will  
register upon driving the vehicle for 10  
minutes.  
The tire pressure sensor ID signal code  
must be registered when a new tire  
pressure sensor is purchased. For  
purchase of a tire pressure sensor and  
registration of the tire pressure sensor  
ID signal code, consult an Authorized  
Mazda Dealer.  
When reinstalling a previously removed  
tire pressure sensor to a wheel, replace  
the grommet (seal between valve body/  
sensor and wheel) for the tire pressure  
sensor.  
Replacing tires and wheels  
CAUTION  
When replacing/repairing the tires or  
wheels or both, have the work done by  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or the tire  
pressure sensors may be damaged.  
The wheels equipped on your Mazda are  
specially designed for installation of the  
tire pressure sensors. Do not use  
non-genuine wheels, otherwise it may  
not be possible to install the tire pressure  
sensors.
