In Case of an Emergency

Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be

flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. If the engine does not start within five

seconds on the first try, switch the

ignition off, wait ten seconds and try

2. Depress the accelerator all the way and

hold it there.

3. Switch the ignition to START and hold

it there for up to ten seconds. If the

engine starts, release the key and

accelerator immediately because the

engine will suddenly rev up.

4. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator for

up to ten seconds.

If the engine still does not start using the

above procedure, have your vehicle

inspected by an Authorized Mazda
