Key
ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (if equipped)
This system allows you to lock and unlock the doors without taking
the key out.
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)
OR by pushing the passenger's
door request switch once.
• Lock all doors (and liftgate) by
pushing any request switch once.
• To open the liftgate from outside
the vehicle: Open the power liftgate
using the liftgate opener.
CAUTION: RED KEY indicator light
may illuminate if advance key
is placed in the cup holder. The key
can sometimes not be detected in
the cup holder.
CAUTION:
• Make sure vehicle is OFF and
take the keyless entry system key
with you when leaving the vehicle.
• When locking doors using inside
door switches or inside door
lock knobs, be careful not to
leave the key inside the vehicle.
NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System and the Keyless
Entry System both use the same type of keyless entry transmitter. However, 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
3
doors/liftgate. To lock and unlock the doors, the corresponding transmitter button must
be pushed.

Starting the Engine
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The CX-3 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 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 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.
NOTE:
You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP ENGINE button or repeatedly pushing
the 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.
