(Forced engine starting method)

If the KEY warning indication (red)
is displayed, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) flashes, this
could indicate that the engine may
not start using the usual starting
method (page 7-32). Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. If
this occurs, the engine can be
force-started. Press and hold the
push button start until the engine
starts. Other procedures necessary
for starting the engine, such as
having the key in the cabin, and
depressing the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission) are
required.



When the engine is force-started, the
KEY warning indication (red)
remains displayed and the push
button start indicator light (amber)
remains flashing.



When the selector lever is in the
neutral (N) position, the push button
start indicator light (green) does not
turn on.

push button start indicator light (green)
turns on.

button start indicator light (amber)
turns off and the ignition switches to
the ON position.



After pressing the push button start
and before the engine starts, the
operation sound of the fuel pump
motor from near the fuel tank can be
heard, however, this does not
indicate a malfunction.

8. After starting the engine, let it idle for

about 10 seconds.

NOTE



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



If the engine does not start the first
time, refer to Starting a Flooded
Engine under Emergency Starting. If
the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer (page
