Mazda CX-3: Manual Shift Mode / Indicators
Mazda CX-3 (2015-2025) Owner's Manual / When Driving / Automatic Transaxle / 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

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.
Manual Shift Mode
The manual shift mode gives you the feel

allowing you to operate the selector lever

engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels

control is desired...
Manually Shifting Up
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...
