qEmergency Operation for
Starting the Engine
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 meter, 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

(manual transaxle) or the brake pedal
(automatic transaxle) are required.

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.

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.
