qEmergency Operation for
Starting the Engine
If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, or the push button start
indicator light (amb er) flashes, this could
indicate that the engine may not start
using the usual starting method (for
vehicles with a type A meter, messages
are displayed in the instrument cluster).
Have your vehicle inspected at an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer as soon as possi ble. If
this occurs, the engine can be force-
started. Press and hold the push butt on
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.

Shift into neutral.
(Automatic transaxle)
Shift the shift lever to the P position.
3. Press the push button start to turn off
the engine. The ignition position is off.
