WARNING
2 This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags
and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for this is that the
weight in the seat is less than approximately 66 lbs. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear
seats in appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.
NOTE:
Indicator light turns of f when conditions have been met for necessar y airbag deployment. See

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The Mazda3 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology.
This technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for
optimal emission performance during cold starting conditions.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button while
pushing the clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
What you will notice? On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for less than 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to efficient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
What this does? This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine
(to improve efficiency and horsepower).
NOTE:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Key
• Shut the engine OFF by setting the parking brake/placing the
vehicle in Park (A / T), then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light
in the instrument cluster will show GREEN
(engine ready to start) when the key is detected and the clutch pedal (M/ T)
or the brake pedal (A / T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RED , or the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER ,
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:
RED Key Indicator Light may flash if the key is placed in the cup holder.
The key may not be detected in the cup holder .

i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (if equipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates
and stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through
efficient energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is
improved. To view i-ELOOP information, select Applications from
the Home screen, then scroll down to Fuel Economy Monitor.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is
parked for long periods of time), the i-ELOOP indicator in the instrume\
nt
cluster will flash and a
warning screen appears
on the screen of the
infotainment system.
When this warning screen appears, do not drive the
vehicle. Allow the engine to idle until the warning
screen disappears. This time is needed for normal
generator operation.
