STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The Mazda6 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button while
p ushing the clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
Wh

at you will notice? On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for less than 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to efficient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.



Wh
at this does? This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine (to
improve efficiency and horsepower).

or the brake pedal (A / T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RED , or the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER ,
this could indicate a problem with the engine starting system and the
inability to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
