NOTE
l
The key must be carried because the key
carries an immobilizer chip that must
communicate with the engine controls at
short range.
l
The engine can be started when the push
button start is pressed from off, ACC, or
ON.
l
The push button start system functions
(function which can start the engine by only
carrying the key) can be deactivated to
prevent any possible adverse effect on a
user wearing a pacemaker or other medical
device. If the system is deactivated, you will
be unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for details. If the push button start
system functions have been deactivated, you
can start the engine by following the
procedure indicated when the key battery
goes dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When Key
Battery is Dead on page 4-6.
l
After starting a cold engine, the engine
speed increases and a whining sound from
the engine compartment can be heard.
This is for improved exhaust gas
purification and does not indicate defect of
the parts.
l
Engine-starting is controlled by the spark
ignition system.
This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Standard
requirements regulating the impulse
electrical field strength of radio noise.
