Have your vehicle inspected at an

Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon

as possible.

NOTE

Under the following conditions,

the KEY warning indication (red)

is displayed after the push button

start is pressed. This informs the

driver that the push button start

will not switch to ACC, even if it

is pressed from o

 (page 7-33).

The key battery is dead.

The key is out of operational

range.

The key is placed in areas where

it is di

cult for the system to

detect the signal (page 3-7).

A key from another

manufacturer similar to the key

is in the operational range.

(Forced engine starting method)

If the KEY warning indication

(red) is displayed, or the push

button start indicator light

(amber) 

fl

ashes, this could

indicate that the engine may not

start using the usual starting

method (page 7-33). 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 

fl

ashing.

neutral (N) position, the push

button start indicator light (green)

does not turn on.

push button start indicator light

button start indicator light

 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

Do not use high engine speeds

until reaching the operating

temperature.

Whether the engine is cold or

warm, it should be started

without the use of the

accelerator.

If the engine does not start the

fi

rst 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 7-20).
