6. Press the push button start to start the
engine.
NOTE
The engine cannot be started unless
the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(manual transaxle) or the brake

again. If it does not illuminate,
have the vehicle checked at an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
To switch the ignition position
without starting the engine, perform
the following operations after the
push button start indicator light
(green) turns on.
1. Release the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle) or brake pedal
(automatic transaxle).
2. Press the push button start to

Emergency Operation for Starting
the Engine
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates,
or the push button start indicator light
(amber)
À ashes, this could indicate that
the engine may not start using the usual

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

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
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.
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.
When the push button start is pressed
from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY
indicator light (green) may
À ash for
approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of
the key is low.
Replace with a new battery before
the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on
page 6-41 .
(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
off immediately. The ignition switches to
ACC.

Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle roll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle from rolling, such as when releasing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:
While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)
When starting from a stop (prevents the vehicle's sudden movement due to vehicle creep)
When the brake pedal is released, the braking force is maintained automatically depending
on the grade of the road.

4–23
When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates
for a maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the
vehicle from an engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result
in an unexpected accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting
to drive the vehicle, always con
¿ rm the safety of the surroundings and operate the
selector lever, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle
may move suddenly depending on the grade of the road, the vehicle's load, or if it is
towing something.
Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
The selector lever is in the N position.
If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released
while the i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To
accelerate the vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift
the selector lever to a position other than the N position.
NOTE
When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does
not operate because engine idling is not stopped.
The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the
brake pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
