Foot Brake

Your Mazda has power-assisted brakes 
that adjust automatically through normal 
use.

Should power-assist fail, you can stop by 
applying greater force than normal to the 
brake pedal. But the distance required to 
stop will be greater than usual.

NOTE

The starter will not operate if the shift 
lever is 

not

 in P or N.

Don’t try the starter for more than 10 
seconds at a time. If the engine stalls or 
fails to start, wait 10 seconds before 
trying again. Otherwise, you may 
damage the starter and drain the 
battery.

NOTE

•

In extremely cold weather, below 

−

18°C (0°F), or after the vehicle has 

stood idle several days, let the 
engine warm up without operating 
the accelerator.

•

Whether cold or warm, the engine 
should be started without use of the 
accelerator.

CAUTION

Brake System

Driving with the Engine Off:
Continuing to drive when the engine 
is stalled or turned off is dangerous.
Braking will require more effort, and 
the brake’s power-assist could be 
depleted if you pump the brake. This 
will cause longer stopping distances 
or even an accident. Don’t continue 
driving when the engine is stalled or 
turned off, find a safe place to stop.

Riding the Brakes:
Driving with your foot continuously 
on the brake pedal or steadily 
applying the brakes for long distances 
is dangerous. This causes overheated 
brakes, resulting in longer stopping 
distances or even total brake failure. 
This could cause loss of vehicle 
control and a serious accident. Avoid 
continuous application of the brakes. 
Shift to a lower gear when going 
down steep hills.
