1. Indicator light
2. Push button start
NOTE
The engine starts by pressing the push
button start while depressing the clutch
pedal (manual transmission) or the
brake pedal (automatic transmission).
To switch the ignition position, press the
push button start without depressing the
pedal.
Do not leave the ignition switched ON
while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going
dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transmission, the selector
lever is in the P position, and the
ignition is in ACC), the ignition switches
off automatically af ter about 25 minutes.
Off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the indicator light (amber)
also turns off.
WA R N I N G
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the selector lever is in
P (automatic transmission) position or in
1st gear or R (manual transmission):
Leaving the driver's seat without switching
the ignition off, setting the parking brake,
and shifting the selector lever to P
(automatic transmission) position or to 1st
gear or R (manual transmission) is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle movement
could occur which could result in an
accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave the
vehicle for even a short period, it is
important to switch the ignition off, as
leaving it in another position will disable
some of the vehicle's security systems and
run the battery down.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber) illuminates.
NOTE
The keyless entry system does not function
while the push button start has been
pressed to ACC, and the doors will not
lock/unlock even if they have been locked
manually.

WA R N I N G
Never tamper with the air bag/
pretensioner systems and always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer perform all
servicing and repairs:
Self-servicing or tampering with the
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally activate or
become disabled causing serious injury or
death.
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Flashing)
If there is a problem with the TPMS or the
voltage of a tire pressu
re sensor decreases,
the TPMS warning light flashes and a
message is displayed on the
multi-information display. Have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if
the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the
TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing
is dangerous because the brake
performance and the steering wheel
operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is
driven at high speeds or the brakes are
suddenly applied, it could lead to an
accident. Gradually apply the brakes to
lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
