Mazda 2: Emergency Operation for Starting the Engine

Mazda2 Owners Manual

If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates, or the push button start indicator light (amber) fl ashes, this could indicate that the engine may not start using the usual starting method. Have your vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer 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 key in the cabin, and depressing the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) are required.
