Mazda CX-5 Owners Manual: Turning the Engine Off
WARNING
Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving:
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving for any reason other than in an emergency is dangerous.
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking, which could cause an accident and serious injury.

Shift into neutral.
(Automatic transaxle)
Shift the shift lever to the P position.
3. Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition position is off.
CAUTION
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the push button start is pressed to off.
NOTE
• The electrical fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a few minutes after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
• When the push button start is pressed to off from ON, the KEY indicator light (green) flashes for approximately 30 seconds indicating that the remaining battery power of the key is low. Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Replace electrical battery .
