Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial we can see how to deactivate the Start & Stop system in the Mazda 3, an extremely simple and quick operation to be carried out in case we find the system too intrusive. First of all, let's go inside the car, then insert the key and start the engine. Next, locate the button with the inscription "i-stop OFF" located on the lower external console of the dashboard, press it and check that the indicator light indicating deactivation has appeared on the dashboard.
