Starting The Engine
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The MX-5 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
efcient 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 efciency and horsepower).
• Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle is 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: Yo u can drive
the vehicle during AWS
activation, no need to wait.
START/STOP
Indicator Light
Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP button or repeatedly pushing
the button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in
case of an emergency.
NOTE: The engine may not start if the key cannot be detected. The Key
Indicator Light may ash RED or “Key not detected” may be displayed if the key
is placed in the cup holder.
If the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light ashes AMBER, this could
indicate a problem with the engine starting system. You may not be able to start
the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the MX-5 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in the
instrument cluster (pp. 31-32) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your tire
pressure (when tires are cold) and inate them to the proper pressure. Properly
inated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and rmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specied pressure
(See tire label located on the driver’s side door opening) on all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side
of dash) until the TPMS warning light
instrument cluster ashes twice and a beep sound is
heard once.
in the
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on if
the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS warning
light to turn on.
INSTANT MOBILITY SYSTEM (IMS)
The IMS emergency at tire repair
kit (located in the trunk) is for a
temporary repair of a slightly damaged
at tire, resulting from running over
nails, or similar sharp objects on the
5
road surface. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for complete details.
