Shift-Lock System
The shift-lock system prevents shifting
out of P unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

2. Start the engine.
3. Push and hold the lock-release button.
4. Move the shift lever.

Shift-Lock Override
If the shift lever won’t move from P with
the brake pedal depressed, continue to
hold down the pedal.
1. Remove the shift-lock override cover
with a screwdriver.
2. Insert a screwdriver and push it down.
3. Push and hold the lock-release button.
4. Move the shift lever.
5. Take the vehicle to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer to have the system
checked.

Overdrive
Overdrive operation
In D, the transmission automatically shifts
to overdrive, which improves fuel
economy and reduces noise.
Sudden Engine-Braking:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or 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. Do not use sudden engine
braking on slippery road surfaces or
at high speeds.
NOTE
•
When the ignition switch is in the
ACC or LOCK position, the
transmission cannot be shifted from
P.
•
If the brake is pumped with the shift
lever in P, a chattering near the shift
lever may be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
•
To be sure the vehicle is in park,
the ignition key cannot be
removed unless the shift lever is in
P.
