If the key warning light (red) is on or the START/STOP button indicator light (orange) is flashing, the engine may not start using the normal method.

Consult a qualified workshop as soon as possible. We recommend an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If this situation occurs, the engine can be started using the forced start method.

Press and hold the START/STOP button until the engine starts. The other conditions must also be met to start the engine, such as the key being within operating range and pressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission) or brake pedal (automatic transmission).
