Ignition Switch
qPush Button Start Positions
The system operates only when the driver
is in the vehicle or within operational
range while the key is being carried.
Each time the push button start is pressed,
the ignition switches in the order of off,
ACC, and ON. Pressing the push button
start again from ON switches the ignition
off.
Indicator light
Push button start
NOTElThe engine starts by pressing the push
button start while depressing the clutch
pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake
pedal (automatic transaxle). To switch the
ignition position, press the push button start
without depressing the pedal.
lDo not leave the ignition switched ON
while the engine is not running. Doing so
could result in the battery going dead. If the
ignition is left in ACC (For automatic
transaxle, the shift lever is in the P position,
and the ignition is in ACC), the ignition
switches off automatically after about 25
minutes.
Off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the push button start
indicator light (amber) also turns off.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the shift lever is
in P (automatic transaxle) or in 1st gear
or R (manual transaxle):
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the shift
lever to P (automatic transaxle) or to
1st gear or R (manual transaxle) is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to
leave the vehicle for even a short
period, it is important to switch the
ignition off, as leaving it in another
position will disable some of the
vehicle's security systems and run the
battery down.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates.
NOTE
The keyless entry system does not function
while the push button start has been pressed to
ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even
if they have been locked manually.

switched ON and the engine is not
running.)
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine is
started (page 4-20).

When the push button start is pressed to ON,
the sound of the fuel pump motor operating
near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.

vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.NOTE
lUnder the following conditions, the KEY

cluster).
lThe key battery is dead.lThe key is out of operational range.lThe key is placed in areas where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal (page 3-7).
lA key from another manufacturer similar
to the key is in the operational range.
l(Forced engine starting method)
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

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 button start until the engine starts.
Other procedures necessary for starting the
engine such as having the key in the cabin,
and depressing the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic

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

Turning the Engine Off
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.
1. Stop the vehicle completely.

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.

lAfter refueling, it may require some time for
the indicator to stabilize. In addition, the
indicator may deviate while driving on a
slope or curve since the fuel moves in the
tank.
lThe display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to show
the remaining fuel level in greater detail.

that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side of
the vehicle.

NOTElEven though the distance-to-empty display
may indicate a sufficient amount of
remaining driving distance before refueling
is required, refuel as soon as possible if the
fuel level is very low or the low fuel
warning light illuminates.
lThe display will not change unless you add
more than approximately 10 L (2.6 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
lThe distance-to-empty is the approximate
remaining distance the vehicle can be
driven until all the graduation marks in the
fuel gauge indicating the remaining fuel
supply disappear.
lIf there is no past fuel economy information
such as after first purchasing your vehicle
or the information is deleted when the
battery cables are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from the
amount indicated.
Average fuel economy mode
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total traveled
distance since purchasing the vehicle, re-
connecting the battery after disconnection,
or resetting the data. The average fuel
economy is calculated and displayed
every minute.
