Starting The Engine; Emergency Engine Stop - Mazda CX-3 Smart Start Manual

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 1 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 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.

button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in case of
