Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP button or repeatedly pushing the
button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in case
of an emergency.
If the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER, this
could indicate a problem with the engine starting system. You may not
be able 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: The engine may not start if the key cannot be detected. The Key
Indicator Light may flash RED or “Key not detected” may be displayed if the key
is placed in the cup holder.
Starting The Engine
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.
NOTE: Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
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).
• Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle in park (A / T) and
setting the parking brake, 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.START/STOP

Mazda Radar Cruise Control
MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following distance using
a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the
vehicle speed between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h) and the
system will maintain a safe following distance without having to turn the
cruise control off.
The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:
Constant Speed Mode When no vehicle is detected ahead,
the driver’s set speed is maintained.
Headway Control Mode When a vehicle is detected ahead,
a distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is maintained.
