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 5

seconds on the first try, wait 10
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 brake pedal, 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
previous 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
2 vehicles to collide. The occupants could
be injured.

NOTE

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