Downshifting

When you must slow down in heavy

traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift

before the engine starts to overwork. This

gives better acceleration when you need

more speed.

On a steep downgrade, downshifting

helps maintain safe speed and prolongs

brake life.

qDriving 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. Depre ss the brake pedal.

2. Shift to D or M1, depending on the

load weight and grade steepness.

3. Release the brake pedal while

gradually accelerating.

Descending steep grades

When descending a steep grade, shift to

lower gears, depending on load weight

and grade steepness. Descend slowly,

using the brakes only occasionally to

prevent them from overheating.

Power Steering

Power steering is only operable when the

engine is running. If the engine is off or if

the power steering system is inoperable,

you can still steer, but it requires more

physical effort.

If the steering feels stiffer than usual

during normal driving, consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION

Never hold the steering wheel to the

extreme left or right for more than 5

seconds with the engine running.

This could damage the power steering

system.
