WARNING

  Do not leave the key in your vehicle with 
children and keep them in a place where 
your children will not fi nd or play with 
them:

  Leaving children in a vehicle with the 
key is dangerous. This could result in 
someone being badly injured or even 
killed. Children may fi nd these keys to 
be an interesting toy to play with and 
could cause the power windows or 
other controls to operate, or even make 
the vehicle move.

CAUTION

¾

  Because the key (transmitter) uses 

low-intensity radio waves, it may not 
function correctly under the following 
conditions:

¾

  The key is carried with 

communication devices such as 
cellular phones.

¾

  The key contacts or is covered by a 

metal object.

¾

  The key is near electronic devices such 

as personal computers.

¾

  Non-Mazda genuine electronic 

equipment is installed in the vehicle.

¾

  There is equipment which discharges 

radio waves near the vehicle.

¾

  The key (transmitter) may consume 

battery power excessively if it receives 
high-intensity radio waves. Do not place 
the key near electronic devices such as 
televisions or personal computers.

¾

  To avoid damage to the key 

(transmitter), DO NOT:

¾

  Drop the key.

¾

  Get the key wet.

¾

  Disassemble the key.

¾

  Expose the key to high temperatures 

on places such as the dashboard or 
hood, under direct sunlight.

¾

  Expose the key to any kind of 

magnetic fi eld.

¾

  Place heavy objects on the key.

¾

  Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner.

  Put any magnetized objects close to 

the key.

    A code number is stamped on the plate 
attached to the key set; detach this plate 
and store it in a safe place (not in the 
vehicle) for use if you need to make a 
replacement key (auxiliary key).
  Also write down the code number and 
keep it in a separate safe and convenient 
place, but not in the vehicle.

  If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult 
your Authorized Mazda Dealer and have 
your code number ready.
