Manual Shift Mode; Drive Selection - Mazda CX-9 2016 Owner's Manual

Transmission

MANUAL SHIFT MODE

Manual Shift Mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transmission by
allowing you to manually shift to control engine rpm and torque when more
control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode:
• Shift the lever from D to M.

DRIVE SELECTION

SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for
increased acceleration response. It will also
hold a lower gear/delay upshifting when
it detects you are braking or cornering
because it anticipates that you will want
to accelerate out of the turn more quickly.
Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT
mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.

using SPORT mode.
