Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Manual Shift Mode

Mazda 6 Owners Manual / When Driving / Automatic Transaxle / Manual Shift Mode

The manual shift mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transaxle vehicle by allowing you to operate the selector lever manually. This allows you to control engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels much like a manual transaxle when more control is desired.

To change to manual shift mode, shift the lever from D to M.

NOTE

Changing to manual shift mode while driving will not damage the transaxle.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift the lever from M to D.

NOTE

If you change to manual shift mode when the vehicle is stopped, the gear will shift to M1.
