Turn the ignition switch to the START position and hold (up to 10 seconds at a time) until the engine starts. Brake System M 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. 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 • In extremely cold weather, below -18°C (0°F), or after the vehicle has stood idle several days, let the engine warm up without operating the accelerator. • Whether cold or warm, the engine should be started without use of the accelerator. 5-4 Form No. 8S11-EA-03G
