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 two vehicles to
collide. The occupants could be
injured.
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within
¿ve seconds on the ¿rst try, wait ten
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
transaxle) or the brake pedal
CAUTION
(Automatic transaxle), then press the
push button start. If the engine starts,
release the accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a
manual transaxle. It can damage the
emission control system.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator.
NOTE
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transaxle by pushing it.
If the engine still does not start using
the previous procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
