Arming and Disarming the
Alarm System with Keyless
Entry

Your keyless entry system will automati-
cally arm the factory installed anti-theft
system when the doors are locked, and
automatically disarm it when the doors
are unlocked. The remote will also reset
the anti-theft alarm (when the driver’s
door is unlocked, or when 

 is pressed)

if it was triggered.

The keyless entry system may not arm
and disarm non-factory installed anti-
theft systems.

Replacing the Batteries

The keyless entry transmitter is powered
by one coin type three-volt lithium
battery CR2032 or equivalent. Typical
operating range will allow you to be up
to 33 feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle. A decrease in operating range
can be caused by:

S

weather conditions

S

nearby radio towers

S

structures around the vehicle

S

other vehicles parked next to the
vehicle.

If you notice a significant decrease in
operating range, the battery should be
replaced. Replacement batteries can be
purchased at most pharmacies, watch
stores or at your authorized Mazda
dealer.

1. Twist a thin coin between the two

halves of the transmitter near the key
ring. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT
PART OF THE TRANSMITTER
APART.

2. Remove the battery.
