Brake/Clutch Fluid
▼Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
WARNING
If the brake/clutch fluid level is low,
have the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch fluid level is
dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from
the same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between
the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and
clutch linings. If it is excessively low,
have the brake/clutch system
inspected by an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).

Starting a Flooded Engine
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0,
SKYACTIV-G 2.5 and
SKYACTIV-X 2.0)
▼Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within 5
seconds on the first try, wait 10
seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way
and hold it there.
4. Depress the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission), then
press the push button start. If the
engine starts, release the
accelerator immediately because
the engine will suddenly rev up.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator.
If the engine still does not start using
the previous procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
Push-Starting
▼Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Mazda.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it:
Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous. The vehicle being towed
could surge forward when its engine
starts, causing the 2 vehicles to collide.
The occupants could be injured.
CAUTION
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a
manual transmission. It can damage
the emission control system.
NOTE
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission by pushing it.
