ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:
Your vehicle is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green
push the START/STOP button.
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for 30 seconds to 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.
NOTE:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Normal Start
(Emission components within optimal temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green
push the START/STOP button.

STARTING THE ENGINE
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP button, while
pushing the clutch pedal (manual transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission).
• Shut the engine OFF by placing the vehicle in Park, then push the
S TA R T/ S TO P b u t t o n .
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP button
once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• To turn the ignition to the ON position, push the START/STOP
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 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
inspecte d at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission shifts gears
based on road conditions and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer than usual when going up
or down hills or driving around corners. This feature gives you better control
and a more connected driving experience.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
• Push the clutch pedal completely down
to start the engine and to shift gears.
• To place the transmission in Reverse, place
shifter in the neutral position, push the shifter
knob down, move to the left and push forward.

HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when accelerating
the vehicle from a stop while on a hill
or slope.
When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is pushed,
HL A prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates
on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position,
and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than
the reverse (R) position.
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a kickdown
switch to give the driver more control and to improve
fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the way,
you will feel an increase in resistance. Push harder,
and you will feel a click as you activate the kickdown
switch. The transmission will usually downshift (depending
on engine speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is the same in
both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
