CAUTION

Radio equipment like this is governed 

by laws in the United States.

Changes or modifications not expressly 

approved by the party responsible 

for compliance could void the user's 

authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE



  The keyless entry system operation may 

vary due to local conditions.



  The keyless entry system is fully 

operational (door/liftgate/trunk lid lock/

unlock) when the ignition is switched 

off. The system does not operate if the 

ignition is switched to any position 

other than off.



  If the key does not operate when 

pressing a button or the operational 

range becomes too small, the battery 

may be weak. To install a new battery, 

refer to Key Battery Replacement (page 

6-38).



  Battery life is about one year. Replace 

the battery with a new one if the KEY 

indicator light (green) flashes in the 

instrument cluster. Replacing the battery 

about once a year is recommended 

because the KEY warning light/

indicator light may not illuminate or 

flash depending on the rate of battery 

depletion.



  Additional keys can be obtained at 

an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to 

6 keys can be used with the keyless 

functions per vehicle. Bring all keys 

to an Authorized Mazda Dealer when 

additional keys are required.
