Mazda CX-3: Manual Shift Mode / Manually Shifting Down
You can shift gears down by operating the
selector lever or the steering shift
switches*.
M6 → M5 → M4 → M3 → M2→ M1
Using selector lever
To shift down to a lower gear, tap the
selector lever forward once.

Using steering shift switch*
To shift down to a lower gear with the
steering shift switches, pull the DOWN switch toward you once with your
fingers.

WARNING
Do not use engine braking on slippery road
surfaces or at high speeds: Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy,
or frozen roads, or while driving at high
speeds causes sudden engine braking,
which is dangerous. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
Keep your hands on the steering wheel rim
when using fingers on the steering shift
switches: Putting your hands inside the rim of the
steering wheel when using the steering
shift switches is dangerous. If the driver's
air bag were to deploy in a collision, your
hands could be impacted causing injury.
NOTE
- When driving at high speeds, the gear
may not shift down.
- During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending on
vehicle speed.
- When depressing the accelerator fully,
the transaxle will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed. However,
the gears do not kickdown while the TCS
is turned off.
