How to Use the Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive)

  1. Push the Mi-Drive switch forward or pull it toward you.

  2. While checking the list displayed in the instrument cluster, push the Mi-Drive switch forward or pull it toward you to select a drive mode.

    When the drive mode is set, the display in the instrument cluster changes.

    (TOWING Mode) (Some Models)

    (SPORT Mode)

    (NORMAL Mode)

    (EV Mode)

    (OFF-ROAD Mode)

 

  • TOWING mode can be selected only when electrically connected to the trailer using a Mazda genuine trailer hitch. In addition, it may take some time until the connection is detected and TOWING mode is displayed. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.

  • Depending on driving conditions when selecting TOWING mode/SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode, the vehicle may perform shift-down or accelerate slightly.

  • When SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode is selected, driving the vehicle at higher engine speeds increases and fuel economy may worsen. Canceling SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode during normal driving is recommended.

  • When setting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) while driving in SPORT mode, the mode is switched to NORMAL mode. In addition, while the MRCC is being used, the mode cannot be switched to SPORT mode.

  • Switching to EV mode may not be possible depending on the driving operations, driving conditions, and high voltage battery condition.

  • When the system determines that the engine needs to be started while the vehicle is being driven in EV mode, the mode is switched to NORMAL mode.

  • The remaining distance-to-full discharge for EV mode may decrease, even when the vehicle is being driven in a mode other than EV mode.

  • The maximum speed in EV mode is 140 km/h (86 mph).

  • The drive mode cannot be switched in the following cases.

    • The Antilock Brake System (ABS) is operating.

    • The Traction Control System (TCS) is operating.

    • The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating.

    • The steering wheel is being operated abruptly.

  • The driving mode in which the display in the instrument cluster is grayed out cannot be selected.

  • When the vehicle power is switched OFF, the mode returns to NORMAL mode. However, TOWING mode before switching the vehicle power OFF is maintained only when the trailer is connected in TOWING mode.
