STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The Mazda6 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
p ushing the clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
Wh

at 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.



Wh
at 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).
NOT

E:
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
v
ehicle in Park (A / T), then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
•
Ac

tivate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
•
Tu

rn 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.

OTE:
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 .

Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to drop
and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire pressure
and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and warming up
the tires. Initialize system (p. 16). Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

FORWARD OBSTRUCTION WARNING (FOW)
The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system alerts the
driver of a possible collision using an indicator in the active
driving display and instrument cluster along with a warning
sound. The system operates when driving at 10 mph (15 km/h)
or faster and the system’s radar sensor determines that your
vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.
CAUTION: Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE: The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a semi truck (tractor
trailer). This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system.
NOTE: FOW can be turned off using the DSC OFF button.
WARNING: FOW is only a supplementary system designed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision. The FOW has limitations and does not detect all objects. Do not
rely solely on the FOW. Relying solely on the FOW may cause an unexpected accident
resulting in death or serious injury. Always keep your eyes on the road.
www.MazdaUSA.com
How to set the speed:
1 Adj

ust the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal.
2 He

adway control begins when the SET + or SET – switch is pushed.
The set speed and the inter-vehicle distance display filled with white
lines is displayed. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator
light (green) is indicated simultaneously.

How to set the distance between vehicles:
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance each time the\


switch is pushed. The distance between vehicles is set to a longer dista\
nce
by pushing the
switch. The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4
levels; Long, medium, short, and extremely short distance.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. Under the following
cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
•
A ti

re rotation is performed.
•
An

y tire or wheel is replaced.
•
The

vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated):
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Le
t the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side B-pillar or edge
of driver’s door frame for
specification) on all four
(4) tires.
3 Sw

itch the ignition ON, but
leave the vehicle parked.
4 Pu

sh and hold the TPMS
“Set Switch” (left side of dash)
until the TPMS warning light

in the instrument cluster flashes
twice and a beep sound is
heard once.
PERSONALIZE YOUR MAZDA6
WITH GENUINE MAZDA ACCESSORIES
Go to www.MyMazda.com, then select “Accessories” below the MyMazda
Home header for a complete listing of available accessories for your Maz\
da6.
NOTE: See Page 7 for TPMS switch location.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.
