CAUTION

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.

6. After starting the engine, let it idle for

about 10 seconds.

NOTE

l

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.

l

Whether the engine is cold or warm,

it should be started without use of

the accelerator.

l

To protect the engine, when the

engine coolant temperature is low,

the engine does not run at high

speeds. The fuel supply will be cut at

an rpm lower than the red zone.

Brake System

qFoot Brake

Your Mazda has power-assisted brakes

that adjus t 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.

WARNING

Coasting with the Engine Off:

Continuing to coast when the engine

is stalled or turned off is dan gerous.

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.
