Huh - interesting. Rented a 2016 or so Mazda6 and that did it.That might depend on which year/model Mazda. We had a 2016 Mazda3 with the 2.5L engine and it didn't work in that, at least not in the Aus-delivered variant, you'd have to wait for it to go back to auto mode or flick the lever across to manual and back again
