When Driving  
Start/Stop Engine  
Ignition Switch  
WARNING  
Push Button Start Positions  
Before leaving the driver's seat, always  
switch the ignition off, set the parking  
brake, and make sure the selector lever is in  
P position:  
Leaving the driver's seat without switching  
the ignition off, setting the parking brake,  
and shifting the selector lever to P position  
is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle  
movement could occur which could result  
in an accident.  
The system operates only when the key is  
within operational range.  
Each time the push button start is pressed,  
the ignition switches in the order of off,  
ACC, and ON. Pressing the push button  
start again from ON switches the ignition  
off.  
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.

pedal. To switch the ignition position,  
press the push button start without  
depressing the pedal.  
Do not leave the ignition switched ON  
while the engine is not running. Doing  
so could result in the battery going  
dead. If the selector lever is in the P  
position, and the ignition is in ACC, the  
ignition switches off automatically after  
about 25 minutes.  
ON  
This is the normal running position after  
the engine is started. The indicator light  
(amber) turns off. (The indicator light  
(amber) illuminates when the ignition is  
switched ON and the engine is not  
running.)

Some indicator lights/warning lights  
should be inspected before the engine is  
started (page 4-11).  
The power supply to electrical devices  
turns off and the push button start  
indicator light (amber) also turns off.

When Driving  
Start/Stop Engine  
NOTE  
Starting the Engine  
When the push button start is pressed to  
ON, the sound of the fuel pump motor  
operating near the fuel tank can be heard.  
This does not indicate an abnormality.  
WARNING  
Radio waves from the key may affect  
medical devices such as pacemakers:  
Before using the key near people who use  
medical devices, ask the medical device  
manufacturer or your physician if radio  
waves from the key will affect the device.  
NOTE  
The key must be carried because the key  
carries an immobilizer chip that must  
communicate with the engine controls at  
short range.  
The engine can be started when the push  
button start is pressed from off, ACC, or  
ON.  
The push button start system functions  
(function which can start the engine by  
only carrying the key) can be  
deactivated to prevent any possible  
adverse effect on a user wearing a  
pacemaker or other medical device. If  
the system is deactivated, you will be  
unable to start the engine by carrying  
the key. Consult an Authorized Mazda  
Dealer for details. If the push button  
start system functions have been  
deactivated, you can start the engine by  
following the procedure indicated when  
the key battery goes dead.  
Refer to Engine Start Function When  
Key Battery is Dead on page 4-8.

When Driving  
Start/Stop Engine  
(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  
7-22), 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 brake pedal are  
required.  
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 7-22),  
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 7-22),  
messages are displayed in the  
instrument cluster).  
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.  
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.

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.  
Emergency Engine Stop  
Continuously pressing the push button  
start or quickly pressing it any number of  
times while the engine is running or the  
vehicle is being driven will turn the engine  
off immediately. The ignition switches to  
ACC.  
1. Stop the vehicle completely.  
2. 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.  
If the system detects that the remaining  
battery power of the key is low when the  
ignition is switched from ON to ACC or  
OFF, the following is indicated.  
Replace with a new battery before the  
key becomes unusable.
