Driving Your Mazda

Starting and Driving

Form No. 8S18-EA-03I

5. Turn the ignition switch to the START

position and hold (up to 10 seconds at a

time) until the engine starts.

6. After starting the engine, let it idle for

about 10 seconds.

Foot Brake

Your Mazda has power-assisted brakes

that adjust automatically through normal

use.

Should power-assist fail, you can stop by

applying greater force than normal to the

brake pedal. But the distance required to

stop will be greater than usual.

Don’t try the starter for more than 10

seconds at a time. If the engine stalls or

fails to start, wait 10 seconds before

trying again. Otherwise, you may

damage the starter and drain the

battery.

NOTE

•

In extremely cold weather, below

–18

C (0

F), or after the vehicle has

not been driven in several days, let

the engine warm up without

operating the accelerator.

•

Whether the engine is cold or warm,

it should be started without use of

the accelerator.

CAUTION

Brake System

Coasting with the Engine Off:

Continuing to coast when the engine

is stalled or turned off is dangerous.

Braking will require more effort, and

the brake’s power-assist could be

depleted if you pump the brake. This

will cause longer stopping distances

or even an accident. Don’t continue

coasting when the engine is stalled or

turned off, find a safe place to stop.

Riding the Brakes:

Driving with your foot continuously

on the brake pedal or steadily

applying the brakes for long distances

is dangerous. This causes overheated

brakes, resulting in longer stopping

distances or even total brake failure.

This could cause loss of vehicle

control and a serious accident. Avoid

continuous application of the brakes.

Shift to a lower gear when going

down steep hills.
