Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be

fl

ooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. If the engine does not start within 5

seconds on the 

fi

rst 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 clutch pedal (manual

transmission) or the brake pedal

(automatic transmission), 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.

The occupants could be injured.

CAUTION

Do not push-start a vehicle that has a

manual transmission. It can damage
