When Driving

Start/Stop Engine

ACC (Accessory)

Some electrical accessories will operate 

and the indicator light (amber) illuminates.

NOTE

The keyless entry system does not function 

while the push button start has been 

pressed to ACC, and the doors will not 

lock/unlock even if they have been locked 

manually.

ON

This is the normal running position after 

the engine is started. The indicator light 

(amber) turns off. (The indicator light 

(amber) illuminates when the ignition 

is switched ON and the engine is not 

running.)

Some indicator lights/warning lights 

should be inspected before the engine is 

started (page 4-23).

When the push button start is pressed to 

ON, the sound of the fuel pump motor 

operating near the fuel tank can be heard.

Starting the Engine

WARNING

Radio waves from the key may affect 

medical devices such as pacemakers:

Before using the key near people who use 

medical devices, ask the medical device 

manufacturer or your physician if radio 

waves from the key will affect the device.

NOTE

  The key must be carried because the key 

carries an immobilizer chip that must 

communicate with the engine controls at 

short range.

  The engine can be started when the push 

button start is pressed from off, ACC, or ON.

  The push button start system functions 

(function which can start the engine by 

only carrying the key) can be deactivated 

to prevent any possible adverse effect 

on a user wearing a pacemaker or 

other medical device. If the system is 

deactivated, you will be unable to start 

the engine by carrying the key. Consult 

an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details. 

If the push button start system functions 

have been deactivated, you can start 

the engine by following the procedure 

indicated when the key battery goes dead.

  Refer to Engine Start Function When 

Key Battery is Dead on page 4-8.

  After starting a cold engine, the engine 

speed increases and a whining sound from 

the engine compartment can be heard.

 

This is for improved exhaust gas purification 

and does not indicate any parts defect.

  Engine-starting is controlled by the 

spark ignition system.

  This system meets all Canadian 

Interference-Causing Equipment Standard 

requirements regulating the impulse 

electrical field strength of radio noise.
