Equipment

Mazda cannot guarantee the

immobilizer and the theft-deterrent

system's operation if the system has

been modi

fi

ed or if any add-on

equipment has been installed.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not

modify the system or install any add-on

equipment to the immobilizer and the

theft-deterrent systems or the vehicle.

Immobilizer System

Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system allows the

engine to start only with a key the

system recognizes.

 

If someone attempts to start the

engine with an unrecognized key, the

engine will not start, thereby helping to

prevent vehicle theft.

If you have a problem with the

immobilizer system or the key, consult

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION

Radio equipment like this is

governed by laws in the United

States.

Changes or modi

fi

cations not

expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate

the equipment.

To avoid damage to the key, do not:

Drop the key.

Get the key wet.

Expose the key to any kind of

magnetic 

fi

eld.

Expose the key to high

temperatures on places such as the

dashboard, under direct sunlight.

If the engine does not start with the

correct key, and the security indicator

light keeps illuminating or 

fl

ashing,

the system may have a malfunction.

Consult an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.
