Mazda CX-3: Manual Shift Mode / Indicators
Manual shift mode indication
In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift
position indication in the instrument panel
illuminates.
Gear position indication
The numeral for the selected gear
illuminates.
Type A

Type B

Type C

NOTE
- If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the gear
position indication will flash twice to
signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down (to protect the transaxle).
- If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF)
temperature becomes too high, there is
the possibility that the transaxle will
switch to automatic shift mode,
canceling manual shift mode and
turning off the gear position indication
illumination. This is a normal function
to protect the AT. After the ATF
temperature has decreased, the gear
position indication illumination turns
back on and driving in manual shift
mode is restored.
The manual shift mode gives you the feel
of driving a manual transaxle vehicle by
allowing you to operate the selector lever
manually. This allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired...
You can shift gears up by operating the
selector lever or the steering shift
switches*.
M1 → M2 → M3 → M4 → M5 → M6
Using selector lever
To shift up to a higher gear, tap the
selector lever back once...
Other information:
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
Slightly depress the brake pedal.
(Manual transaxle)
Depress the clutch pedal.
Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the switch is pressed when the
vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher, the system reverts to the
previously
set speed...
If several devices have been paired, the
Bluetooth® unit links the device last
paired. If you would like to link a different
paired device, it is necessary to change the
link. The order of device priority after the
link has been changed is maintained even
when the ignition is switched off...
