WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the
LOCK position and remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle.

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake
warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized Mazda dealership as soon
as possible.

Driving with an automatic overdrive transaxle

Your automatic overdrive transaxle
provides fully automatic operation in
either D (Overdrive) or with the
O/D OFF switch depressed. Driving
with the gearshift lever in D
(Overdrive) gives the best fuel
economy for normal driving
conditions.

For manual control, start in 1
(First) and then shift manually.

To put your vehicle in gear, start the
engine, depress the brake pedal,
then move gearshift lever out of P
(Park).
