When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
NOTE
Selector lever is operated while engine idling is stopped (automatic transaxle)
If the selector lever is shifted from D or M (not in second gear fi xed mode) position to
N or P position while engine idling is stopped, the engine does not restart even when the
brake pedal is released. The engine will restart if the brake pedal is depressed again or the
selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear fi xed mode), or R position. (For
the purposes of safety, always keep the brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector
lever while engine idling is stopped.)
(European model)
If the selector lever is shifted from the D or M (not in second gear fi xed mode) position
to the N or P position, and the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is
opened, the engine does not restart. Start the engine using the normal method.
(Except European model)
If the selector lever is shifted from the D or M (not in second gear fi xed mode) to the
N or P position, and the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened,
the engine restarts.
Battery terminals are disconnected
Engine idling may not stop right after the battery terminals are disconnected. In addition,
if the battery is replaced, the i-stop functions must be verifi ed. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 centre display, the i-stop operation status is displayed in the
fuel monitor control status display.
Refer to Control Status Display on page 4-90 .
