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

i-ELOOP
NOTE: • If the vehicle is jump started, leave the jumper cables connected until the
warning message is no longer displayed.
• If the vehicle is driven while the warning screen is displayed, a warning sound
will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.
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.
