Mazda CX-3: Automatic Transaxle / Direct Mode (Some models)
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).
The vehicle is stopped or moving at a slow speed.
Type A
Type B
Type C
NOTE
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.
Recommendations for Shifting
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...

Do not let the vehicle move in a direction

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately how much fuel is remaining in the tank when the ignition is switched ON. We recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.
If the low fuel warning light illuminates or the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance or stalling occurs due to low fuel level conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel. Refer to Taking Action.
