Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. If the engine does not start within five

seconds on the first try, wait ten
seconds and try again.

2. Make sure the parking brake is on.

3. Depress the accelerator all the way and

hold it there.

4. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual

transaxle) or the brake pedal
(Automatic transaxle), then press the
push button start. If the engine starts,
release the accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.

5. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator.

If the engine still does not start using the
above procedure, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Push-Starting

Do not push-start your Mazda.

WARNING

Never tow a vehicle to start it:

Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous. The vehicle being towed
could surge forward when its engine
starts, causing the two vehicles to
collide. The occupants could be
injured.

CAUTION

Do not push-start a vehicle that has
a manual transaxle. It can damage
the emission control system.

NOTE

You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle by pushing it.
