Mazda CX-3: Manual Shift Mode / 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 TCS 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
second.
When the selector lever is moved back
while the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) or less, the transaxle is set in the
second gear fixed mode...
Upshifting
For normal acceleration and cruising, Mazda recommends these shift points:
*1 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...
