Drive Selection (Automatic Transaxle)
í
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 manoeuvres 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-cover ed
roads. It may cause tyre slipping.

increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends to cancel the sport mode on normal
