How to Activate/Deactivate the Start/Stop Function in a Mazda CX-3

Model: Mazda Cx 3 MK 1 - Years 2015-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

To activate or deactivate the Start/Stop function in a Mazda CX-3, use the dedicated button marked with the letter "A" enclosed in a circular arrow, located on the driver's dashboard. Then, get in the vehicle and with the engine running, pressing the button temporarily disables the system and the relevant indicator light illuminates on the instrument cluster. Pressing the button again reactivates the function. The deactivation is only valid until the engine is turned off: upon the next start, the Start/Stop system is automatically re-enabled.
