Mazda CX-3: Emergency Starting / Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Mazda.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it: Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous.
The vehicle being towed could surge
forward when its engine starts, causing the
2 vehicles to collide. The occupants could
be injured.
CAUTION
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a
manual transaxle. It can damage the
emission control system.
NOTE
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transaxle by pushing it.
If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
If the engine does not start within 5
seconds on the first try, wait 10
seconds and try again...
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light turns on, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot...
Other information:
