Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Manually Shifting Up
You can shift gears up by operating the selector lever or the steering shift switches (some models).
M1 → M2 → M3 → M4 → M5 → M6
Using selector lever
To shift up to a higher gear, tap the selector lever back (+)
once.
Using steering shift switch (some models)
To shift up to a higher gear with the steering shift switches, pull the UP switch (+/OFF
) toward you once with your fingers.
WARNING
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 slowly, the gears may not shift up.
- Do not drive the vehicle with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE while
in manual shift mode. In addition, manual shift mode switches to automatic shift
mode while the accelerator pedal is completely depressed.
This function is canceled while the DSC is turned off. However, if the vehicle is continuously driven at a high rpm, the gears may automatically shift up to protect the engine.
- The steering shift switch can be used temporarily even if the selector
lever is in the D position while driving. In addition, it returns to automatic
shift mode when the UP switch (+/OFF
) is pulled rearward for a sufficient amount of time.
