Knowing Your Mazda

Form No. 8R29-EA-02I

Security 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 the 
theft of your vehicle.

Operation

Arming

The system is armed when the ignition 
switch is turned from the ON to the ACC 
position.
The security indicator light in the 
instrument panel flashes every 2 seconds 
until the system is disarmed.

Disarming

The system is disarmed when the ignition 
switch is turned to the ON position with 
the correct ignition key.
The security indicator light illuminates for 
about 3 seconds and goes out.

If the engine doesn’t start with the correct 
ignition key, and the security indicator 
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the 
system may have a malfunction. Consult 
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
