NOTE

The keys carry a unique electronic

code. For this reason, and to assure

your safety, obtaining a replacement

key requires some waiting time. They

are only available through an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Always keep a spare key in case one

is lost. If a key is lost, consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as

possible.

If you lose a key, an Authorized

Mazda Dealer will reset the

electronic codes of your remaining

keys and immobilizer system. Bring

all the remaining keys to an

Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.

Starting the vehicle with a key that

has not been reset is not possible.

Operation

NOTE

The engine may not start and security

indicator light may illuminate or 

fl

ash

if the key is placed in an area where

it is di

cult for the system to detect

the signal, such as on the dashboard

or in the glove compartment. Move

the key to a location within the signal

range, switch the ignition o

, and

then restart the engine.

Signals from a TV or radio station, or

from a transceiver or mobile

telephone could interfere with your

immobilizer system. If you are using

the proper key and the engine fails to

start, check the security indicator

light.

Arming

The system is armed when the ignition

is switched from ON to o

.

The security indicator light in the

instrument cluster 

fl

ashes every 2

seconds until the system is disarmed.

 

Disarming

The system is disarmed when the

ignition is switched ON with the

correct programmed key. The security

indicator light illuminates for about 3

seconds and then turns o

.

If the engine does not start with the

correct key, and the security indicator

light remains illuminated or 

fl

ashing,

try the following:

Make sure the key is within the

operational range for signal

transmission. Switch the ignition o

,

and then restart the engine. If the

engine does not start after 3 or more

tries, contact an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.
