Knowing Your Mazda

Form No. 8R09-EA-02G

Doors and Locks

The keys operate all locks.

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.

Also write down the code number and 
keep it in another safe and handy place, 
but not in the vehicle.

If your key is lost, consult your 
Authorized Mazda Dealer with the code 
number ready.
