Starting a Flooded Engine
▼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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases
of serious overloading, brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep
grades. The load a tire will carry safely
is a combination of the size of the tire,
its load range, and corresponding
inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings
from the vehicle's Safety Certification
and Tire and Load Information labels.Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including a full tank of fuel
and all standard equipment. It does
not include passengers, cargo, or
optional equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it
up from your dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.

PAY LOA D
Pay l o a d is the combination weight of
cargo and passengers that the vehicle
is designed to carry. The maximum
payload for your vehicle can be found
on the Tire and Load Information label
on the driver's door frame or door
pillar. Look for “THE COMBINATION
WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND
CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX
kg or XXX lbs” for your maximum
payload. The payload listed on the tire
label is the maximum payload for the
vehicle as built by the assembly plant.
If any aftermarket or dealer installed
equipment has been installed on the
vehicle, the weight of the equipment
must be subtracted from the payload
listed on the tire label in order to be
accurate.
