This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s 
front/side airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a 
collision. The reason for this is that the weight in the seat is less than  approximately 66 lbs. Always wear your seat belt, and if a front-facing 
child seat must be used, you must deactivate the passenger's airbag.  See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
This system allows you to lock and unlock the doors without taking the key out of your pocket or purse.  
While Carrying the Advanced Key…•   
Unlock the driver’s door by pushing 
the driver’s door request switch once.
•   
Unlock all doors by pushing the 
driver’s door request switch once or  twice (depending on personalization 
setting, p. 15) OR by pushing the  passenger’s door request switch once.
•   
Lock all doors (and liftgate) by 
pushing any request switch once.
NOTE: Only vehicles equipped with the 
Advanced Keyless Entry System allow  you to lock and unlock the doors with the 
door request switches (without taking  the key out of your purse or pocket).
Vehicles equipped with the Keyless Entry  System do not have request switches on the doors/liftgate. To lock and unlock 
the doors, the corresponding transmitter button must be pushed.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for additional   
details about “Personalization Features”.
CAUTION: 
The RED KEY  indicator light 
may illuminate on  the instrument 
cluster (p. 45) if  the advanced key is placed in the 
cup holder. The  key may not be 
detected in the 
cup holder.
CAUTION: 
Make sure the 
engine is OFF and  take the key with 
you when leaving  the vehicle.
When locking  the doors using 
the inside door 
switches, be 
careful not to  leave the key 
inside the vehicle 
to prevent  lock-out.

S TA RTING THE ENGINE   
WITH ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The CX-5 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 Advanced Key… •   
START THE ENGINE by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE 
button while pushing the brake pedal. 
•   
WHAT WILL YOU NOTICE? On start-up, the engine speed 
and sound are elevated (1500 RPM) for less than one  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.
•   
WHAT DOES THIS DO? This reduces emissions and allows Mazda to improve efficiency.
•   
SHUT THE ENGINE OFF by making sure the vehicle is in Park and setting the electric 
parking brake, then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
•   
ACTIVATE ACCESSORIES (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button once 
without pushing the brake pedal.
•   
TURN THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button 
twice without pushing the brake pedal.
EMERGENCY ENGINE STOP 
Pushing and holding the START/STOP ENGINE button or repeatedly pushing the START/
STOP ENGINE button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in case 
of an emergency.
NOTE: The engine may not start if the key cannot be detected. The key indicator light 
may flash RED or “Key not detected” may be displayed if the key is placed in the   
cup holder.
If the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER, this could indicate a 
problem with the engine starting system. You may not be able 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.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the CX-5 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire pressure in one 
or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in one or more tires, the system 
alerts the driver by turning on a light in the instrument cluster (pp. 45-46) and  sounding an alarm.
WHAT TO DO?  Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your tire pressure for all tires (when tires are cold) and inflate 
the tires to the proper air pressure. Properly inflated tires 
are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude can affect the air pressure in the 
tires, and may cause the TPMS warning light to turn on.
