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:
Operational Range

is in the vehicle or within operational
range while the key is being carried.

Starting the engine may be possible even
if the key is outside of the vehicle and
