Parking in an Emergency
▼Parking in an Emergency
The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.
Depress the hazard warning flasher
and all the direction indicators will
flash. The hazard warning indicator
lights in the instrument cluster flash
simultaneously.
NOTE
xThe direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are
on.
xCheck local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed to verify
that it is not in violation of the law.

▼Spare Tyre*
Your Mazda has a temporary spare
tyre.
The temporary spare tyre is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tyre, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tyres should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare
tyre on the front wheels (driving
wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tyre
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tyre to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tyre to the rear.
CAUTION
¾When using the temporary spare
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
¾To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tyre or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:

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.

Towing Description
▼Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done
only by an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) or a commercial tow-truck
service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing a AWD
vehicle, where all the wheels are
connected to the drive train, proper
transporting of the vehicle is absolutely
essential to avoid damaging the drive
system. Government and local laws
must be followed.
1. Wheel dollies
A towed FWD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels)
off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
When towing a FWD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground, release the
parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-70.
A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels
off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow a AWD vehicle with all
four wheels
off the ground:
Towing a AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail
away from the tow truck and cause an
accident. If the drive train has been
damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
CAUTION
¾Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
¾Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
