Start/Stop Engine
NOTE
  If the push button start indicator light
(green) fl ashes, make sure that the key is
being carried.
   If the push button start indicator light
(green) fl ashes with the key being
carried, touch the key to the push
button start and start the engine. Refer
to Engine Start Function When Key
Battery is Dead on page 4-8 .

CAUTION
If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) fl ashes, this
could indicate a problem with the
engine starting system. This may
prevent the engine from starting or
from switching the ignition to ACC or
ON. Have your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.

NOTE
   Under the following conditions, the
KEY warning light (red) fl ashes after
the push button start is pressed. This
informs the driver that the push button
start will not switch to ACC, even if it is
pressed from off.
   The key battery is dead.  The key is out of operational range.  The key is placed in areas where it is
diffi cult for the system to detect the
signal (page 3-8 ).
  A key from another manufacturer
similar to the key is in the
operational range.
  (Forced engine starting method)  If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) fl ashes, this
could indicate that the engine may not
start using the usual starting method.
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 transaxle) are required.
   When the engine is force-started, the
KEY warning light (red) (if equipped)
remains illuminated and the push button
start indicator light (amber) remains
fl ashing.
   (Automatic transaxle)  When the selector lever is in the neutral
(N) position, the KEY indicator light
(green) (if equipped) and the push
button start indicator light (green) do
not illuminate.

Emergency Operation for Starting the Engine
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates,
or the push button start indicator light
(amber) fl ashes, this could indicate that
the engine may not start using the usual
starting method. Have your vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer
as soon as possible. If this occurs, the

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.
2. (Manual transaxle)
Shift into neutral and set the parking brake.
(Automatic transaxle)
Shift the selector lever to the P position and set the parking brake.
3. Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition position is off.

CAUTION
When leaving the vehicle, make sure
the push button start is off .

Start/Stop Engine
NOTE
  The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the
A/C is on or off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.
  If the system detects that the remaining
battery power of the key is low when the
ignition is switched from ON to ACC or
OFF, the following is indicated.
 Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
 Refer to Key Battery Replacement on page 6-36 .
 (Vehicle equipped with Type A
instrument cluster)
 A message is indicated in the display of
the instrument cluster.
 (Vehicle equipped with Type B
instrument cluster)
 The KEY indicator light (green) fl ashes
for approximately 30 seconds.
 Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-32 .
  (Automatic transaxle)  If the engine is turned off while the
selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.

Emergency Engine Stop
Continuously pressing the push button
start or quickly pressing it any number of
times while the engine is running or the
vehicle is being driven will turn the engine

Instrument Cluster and Display
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge (Without Multi-information
Display)
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The white gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.


CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicator fl ashes, there is a
possibility of overheating. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately
and take appropriate measures. If the
vehicle continues to be driven, it could
cause damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-18 .

NOTE
  The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with
the temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
 Refer to Personalization Features on page 9-11 .
  During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at
100 °C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge
indicates a range lower than 100 °C
(210 °F).
  If the engine load increases and the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
100 °C (210 °F), the gauge indicates the
engine coolant temperature.

Fuel Gauge (Without Multi-information Display)
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.


Full
1/4 Full
Empty

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-33 .

Distance-to-empty mode
This mode displays the approximate
distance you can travel on the remaining
fuel based on the fuel economy.

The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.


NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf fi cient 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.
   The display may not change unless you
add more than approximately 9 L
(2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
  The 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.
  If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after fi rst
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.



To clear the data being displayed, press the
INFO switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
After pressing the INFO switch,
- - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be displayed
for about 1 minute before the fuel
economy is recalculated and displayed.
Current fuel economy mode
This mode displays the current fuel
economy by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance traveled.

Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every 2 seconds.



When you've slowed to about 5 km/h
(3 mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
