Emergency Operation for Starting
the Engine

If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates,
or the push button start indicator light
(amber) flashes, this could indicate that
the engine may not start using the usual
starting method. 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
transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic
transaxle) are required.

Turning the Engine Off

WARNING

Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving:

Stopping the engine while the vehicle is
moving for any reason other than in an
emergency is dangerous. Stopping the
engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.

1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2.

(Manual transaxle)

Shift into neutral and set the parking
brake.

(Automatic transaxle)

Shift the selector lever to the P
position and set the parking brake.

3. Press the push button start to turn off

the engine. The ignition position is off.

CAUTION

When leaving the vehicle, make sure the
push button start is off.

NOTE



The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C
is on or off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.
