Starting The Engine
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The CX-5 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology.
This technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for
optimal emission performance during cold starting conditions.
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).
NOTE: Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
• 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.
