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 MX-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).
• Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle is 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.

Auto-Dimming Mirror
• Auto-dimming will automatically darken your rearview mirror and outside
driver’s mirror to reduce headlight glare from vehicles behind you.

NOTE:
In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a
front light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the front or rear
mirror light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirror will not operate properly.
HomeLink®
• This feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.

Headrests
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that are
not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active headrest
is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close the gap
between your head and the headrest (to reduce the possibility of whiplash).
