Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP ENGINE 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: You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP
EN
GINE button while pushing the clutch pedal
(M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
•
Wha

t you will notice? On start-up, the engine
speed and sound are higher (1500 RPM) for less
than one 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).
•
Shu

t 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.
•
Act

ivate Accessories (ACC ) by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE
button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
