Driving Your Mazda

Starting and Driving

Form No. 8Q42-EA-01F

To allow engine braking when going

down a steep grade, make sure the

overdrive button is in the off position.

And for a smoother ride with less shifting,

don’t use it when:

•

Going up a steep grade.

•

Driving in stop-and-go traffic.

•

Pulling heavy loads.

To turn off the overdrive, push the

button.

The transmission will then shift through a

three-gear sequence in D.

Shift patterns without overdrive:

D = 1st, 2nd, 3rd

2 = 2nd

1 = 1st

To turn it on, push the button again.

Shift patterns with overdrive:

D = 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th

2 = 2nd

1 = 1st

O/D OFF indicator light

This light comes on when the overdrive

has been turned off.

Driving Tips

Passing

For extra power when passing another

vehicle or climbing steep grades, depress the

accelerator fully. The transmission will shift

to a lower gear, depending on vehicle speed.

Climbing steep grades from a stop

To climb a steep grade from a stopped

position:

1. Depress the brake pedal.

2. Shift to D or 1, depending on the load

weight and grade steepness.

3. Release all brakes while gradually

accelerating.

Descending steep grades

When descending a steep grade, shift to 2 or 1,

depending on load weight and grade steepness.

Descend slowly, using the brakes only

occasionally to prevent them from overheating.

Shift lever

Overdrive button

If the overdrive-off indicator light flashes,

the transaxle has an electrical problem.

Continuing to drive your Mazda in this

condition could cause damage to your

transaxle. Consult an Authorized Mazda

Dealer as soon as possible.
