Automatic Transaxle Controls - Mazda 2008 Mazda5 Owner's Manual

Various Lockouts:
NOTE
This Sport AT has an option that is not included in traditional automatic transaxle - giving the driver
the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if you
intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate gear may be retained as
you change speeds. If you notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm
you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 5-13).
