WARNING

Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the shift lever is
in P (automatic transaxle) or in 1st gear
or R (manual transaxle):

Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the shift
lever to P (automatic transaxle) or to
1st gear or R (manual transaxle) is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to
leave the vehicle for even a short
period, it is important to switch the
ignition off, as leaving it in another
position will disable some of the
vehicle's security systems and run the
battery down.

ACC (Accessory)

Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (ACC) illuminates.

NOTE

The advanced keyless entry system does not
function while the push button start has been
pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/
unlock even if they have been locked manually.

ON

This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. The indicator light
(ON) turns off. (The indicator light (ON)
illuminates when the ignition is switched
ON and the engine is not running.)
The warning lights (except brakes) should
be inspected before the engine is started
(page 5-47).

Starting the engine

NOTE

l

The advanced key must be carried because
the advanced key carries an immobilizer
chip that must communicate with the engine
controls at short range.

l

The engine can be started when the push
button start is pressed from off, ACC, or
ON.

1. Make sure you are carrying the

advanced key.

2. Occupants should fasten their seat

belts.

3. Make sure the parking brake is on.

4. Continue to press the brake pedal

firmly until the engine has completely
started.

5. (Manual transaxle)

Continue to press the clutch pedal
firmly until the engine has completely
started.

The starter will not operate if the clutch pedal
is not depressed sufficiently.
(Automatic transaxle)
The starter will not operate if the shift lever is
not in P or N and the brake pedal is not
depressed sufficiently.

6. Verify that the KEY indicator light

(green) in the instrument cluster and
the push button start indicator light
(green) illuminate. If the KEY indicator
light (green) does not illuminate, make
sure that the advanced key is being
carried. If the KEY indicator light
(green) does not illuminate while the
advanced key is being carried, you may
have to use the auxiliary key to start
the engine instead (page 3-24).

CAUTION

If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, and the push button
start indicator light (red) illuminates,
this could indicate a problem with
the engine starting system and the
inability to start the engine or switch
the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE

l

Under the following conditions, the KEY
warning light (red) flashes to inform the
driver that the push button start will not
switch to ACC even if it is pressed from off.

l

The advanced key battery is dead.

The advanced key is placed in areas
where it is difficult for the system to
detect the signal (page 3-7).

l

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

l

(Forced engine starting method)
If the KEY warning light (red) and the push
button start indicator light (red) illuminate
when the clutch pedal (manual transaxle)
or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) is
depressed to start the engine, the engine
may not start using these methods. 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 advanced key in the cabin, and
depressing the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic
transaxle) are required.

warning light (red) remains illuminated and
the key indicator light (green) does not
illuminate.

7. Press the push button start after both

the KEY indicator light (green) in the

NOTE

l

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

l

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 7-18).

Starting the engine using the auxiliary
key

If the engine cannot be started for reasons
such as the advanced key battery is dead,
the engine can be started using the
auxiliary key.

1. Slide the auxiliary key out from the

bottom of the advanced key.

2. Use the auxiliary key to remove the

key slot cover.

3. Depress the clutch pedal (manual

transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic
transaxle) until the ring around the key
slot starts flashing.

4. Insert the auxiliary key into the slot

while it is flashing, but DO NOT
TURN THE AUXILIARY KEY IN
THE SLOT.

CAUTION

After inserting the auxiliary key, do
not attempt to turn it in the key slot.
It could damage the vehicle or the
auxiliary key.

5. Press the push button start to start the

engine.

NOTE

l

Leave the auxiliary key in the key slot while
the engine is running.

l

When leaving the vehicle, remove the

Emergency engine stop

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.

Continuously pressing the push button
start while the engine is running and the
vehicle is stopped, or quickly pressing it
any number of times will turn the engine
off immediately.
