Before Driving

Keys

NOTE



  The keyless entry system operation may 

vary due to local conditions.



  The keyless entry system is fully 

operational (door/fuel-filler 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.

fuel-filler lid are locked/unlocked using 

the key. If you prefer, the beep sound 

can be turned off.

  The volume of the beep sound can also 

be changed.
