Mazda 2: Drive Selection
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle's drive mode. When the
sport mode is
selected, vehicle's response against accelerator operation is enhanced. Use the
sport mode
when higher vehicle response is required such as merging onto expressway or
accelerating
to overtake.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or
snow-covered
roads. It may cause tyre slipping.
NOTE
When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases
and it may
increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends to cancel the sport mode on normal
driving.
Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
- ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
- Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
Drive Selection Switch
Press the drive selection switch to the

mode.
Pull the drive selection switch to the

NOTE
- When the ignition is switched off, the
sport mode is cancelled.
- Depending on the driving conditions
when sport mode is selected, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
slightly accelerate.
Select Mode Indicator Light
When the sport mode is selected, the
select mode indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster. 
NOTE
If the mode cannot be switched to drive
mode, the select mode indicator light
fl ashes to notify the driver.
