When Driving- Page 137

CAUTION

If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) flashes, this
could indicate a problem with the
engine starting system. This may
prevent the engine from starting or
from switching the ignition to ACC or
ON (for vehicles with a type A/type B
instrument cluster (page 7-23),
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster). Have your vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE

•

Under the following conditions, the
KEY warning light (red) flashes 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 off (for
vehicles with a type A/type B
instrument cluster (page 7-23),
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster).

•

The key battery is dead.

•

The key is out of operational
range.

•

The key is placed in areas where it
is difficult for the system to detect
the signal (page 3-6).

•

A key from another manufacturer
similar to the key is in the
operational range.

(Forced engine starting method)

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 (for vehicles with a type A/
type B instrument cluster (page
7-23), messages are displayed in
the instrument cluster). 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.

•

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

•

(Automatic transaxle)

When the selector lever is in the
neutral (N) position, the KEY
indicator light (green) (if equipped)
and the push button start indicator
light (green) do not illuminate.

7. Press the push button start after both

the KEY indicator light (green) (if
equipped) in the instrument cluster and
the push button start indicator light
(green) illuminate.
