Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP button or repeatedly pushing
the button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in
case of an emergency.
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.
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.
Starting The Engine
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The MX-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 Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/
STOP ENGINE button while pushing the
clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
• What 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.
• What 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).
• Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle is in park (A / T) and
setting the parking brake, then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC ) by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE
button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the MX-5 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low i\
n
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in\
the
instrument cluster (pp. 31-32) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your tire
pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure. Properly
inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the syst\
em can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure
(See tire label located on the driver’s side door opening) on all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side
of dash) until the TPMS warning light
in the
instrument cluster flashes twice and a beep sound is
heard once.
Tires
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on if
the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS warning
light to turn on.
INSTANT MOBILITY SYSTEM (IMS)
The IMS emergency flat tire repair
kit (located in the trunk) is for a
temporary repair of a slightly damaged
flat tire, resulting from running over
nails, or similar sharp objects on the
road surface. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for complete details.

be edited by selecting
other options.
7 If Go is selected or if no operation is performed with 10 seconds, the
route guidance is started. The set route can be checked by selecting MAP .
Planning A Route Using Voice Commands
You can navigate to any of the following places using your voice:
• An address, including home
• Favorites
• Cities and towns
• POI (Point of Interest) categories •
POIs for named brands of, for
example, restaurants, gas stations,
car rental and gyms.
• A recent destination
NOTE: POI searches for points of interest near your present location.
To plan a route to an address using your voice, do the following:
1 Push the TA L K button on the steering wheel.
2 When you hear the tone, you can say, for example “Address”.
3 When on the enter an address screen say the full address (without zip code)
for your destination, for example “123 Main St., Los Angeles, California”.
The system does not recognize zip codes.
NOTE: • For best results, say the full address without pausing between words.• Voice guidance can be skipped by pushing the talk button.• When prompt voice guidance is muted you will need to go into navigation settings
to turn the volume back on for the NAVI button to repeat the last instructions.
4 Say “Yes” if the address is correct. If shown a list of addresses, say the
list number for the correct address or say “none of these”.
SD card slot

Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or more, the BSM
will warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
easy to follow resetting instructions.
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
