If it doesn't start after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer. • If the warning light flashes continuously while you are driving, don't shut off the engine. Go to an Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it checked. If you shut off the engine while the light is flashing you won't be able to restart it.
