What to Do in Case of Emergency
Engine Does Not Start
Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine stops unexpectedly, it
may be flooded (excessive fuel in the
engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within 5
seconds on the first try, wait 10
seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way
and hold it there.
4. Depress the brake pedal, then press
the push button start. If the engine
starts, release the accelerator
immediately because the engine
will suddenly rev up.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator.
If the engine still does not start using
the previous procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
