If the KEY warning light (red) and the push
button start indicator light (red) illuminate
when the brake pedal (Automatic transaxle)

depressed to start the engine, the engine
may not start using these methods. Have
your vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. If this
occurs, the engine can be force-started.
Press and hold the push button start until
the engine starts. Other procedures
necessary for starting the engine such as
having the advanced key in the cabin, and
depressing the brake pedal (Automatic
transaxle) or the clutch pedal (Manual

forced-start method is unsuccessful, it may
be necessary to use the auxiliary key.
