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 transmission)
Shift into neutral and set the
parking brake.
(Automatic transmission)
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.
If the system detects that the
remaining battery power of the key is
low when the ignition is switched
from ON to ACC or OFF, the
following is indicated.
Replace with a new battery before
the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on
page 6-30.
A message is indicated in the display
of the instrument cluster.
Refer to KEY Warning Indication/

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 2
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 confirm 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 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.
▼ i-stop Warning Light (Amber)/
i-stop Indicator Light (Green)
To ensure safe and comfortable use of
the vehicle, the i-stop system
constantly monitors the driver's
operations, the vehicle's interior and
exterior environment, and the
operational status of the vehicle, and
uses the i-stop warning light (amber)
and i-stop indicator light (green) to
inform the driver of various cautions
and warnings.
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with the center
display, the i-stop operation status is
displayed in the fuel efficiency monitor
display.
Refer to the Fuel Efficiency Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
i-stop warning light (amber)
The light turns on/flashes continuously
if the system has a problem. Have the

filled.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter can be reset by pressing
the TRIP switch for 1.5 seconds or

▼Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Displays the engine coolant
temperature. The blue range of the
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is low, and the red range
of the gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is high and
overheating.

CAUTION
When the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle is in the red range, the
engine coolant temperature is
extremely high. Drive slowly to reduce
engine load. If the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle is in the red
range, there is the possibility of
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe
place immediately and take
appropriate measures.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-21.
NOTE
If the engine or engine coolant
temperature is high or low, the
engine output may be restricted to
protect the engine.
▼Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4
full.

If the low fuel warning light illuminates
or the fuel level is very low, refuel as
soon as possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon
as possible and add at least 10 L (2.7
US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Low Fuel Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-35.
NOTE
After refueling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
The direction of the arrow ()
indicates that the fuel-filler lid is on
the left side of the vehicle.
▼ Dashboard Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the
ignition switched ON, the brightness of
the dashboard illumination is dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the
ignition switched ON, the brightness of
the dashboard illumination is dimmed.
However, when the light sensor
detects that the surrounding area is
bright such as when the lights are
turned on in the daytime, the
dashboard illumination does not dim.
NOTE
(With auto-light control)
When the ignition is switched ON in
the early evening or at dusk, the
dashboard illumination is dimmed
for several seconds until the light
sensor detects the brightness of the
surrounding area, however, the
dimming may cancel after the
brightness is detected.
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-57.
