Starting The Engine

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH

ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)

The CX-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 efcient 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 efciency and horsepower).

NOTE: You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.

• Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle 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.
