Modification and Add-On

Equipment

Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' operation
if the system has been modified 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

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 modifications 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
field.



Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the dashboard or
hood, under direct sunlight.



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