Knowing Your Mazda

Security System

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

The optional theft-deterrent system is 
designed to prevent your vehicle or its 
contents from being stolen when all the 
doors, hood, and trunk lid are locked.

If forcible entry is attempted, the system 
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard 
warning lights.

Operation

System triggering conditions

The horn sounds intermittently and the 
hazard warning lights flash for about 3 
minutes when the system is triggered by 
any one of the following:

•

Forcing open a door, the hood or the 
trunk lid.

•

Opening a door, the hood or the trunk 
lid by operating an inside door-lock 
knob, the hood release handle or the 
trunk lid release button.

If the system is triggered again, the lights 
and horn will activate until a door is 
unlocked or the trunk lid is opened with 
the key or with the transmitter.

How to Arm the System

1. Remove the key from the ignition 

switch.

2. Close the hood. Then close and lock all 

doors and the trunk lid from the outside 
using the key or press the LOCK 
button on your keyless entry system 
transmitter. The hazard warning lights 
will flash once to indicate that the 
system is armed.

theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood and the trunk lid . Press 
the area on the door-lock switch 
marked "LOCK" once. Close all doors.

Theft-Deterrent System*

NOTE

•

The theft-deterrent system operates 
with the key or the keyless entry 
system transmitter.

•

The system will not function unless 
it is properly armed. To properly 
secure the vehicle, always make 
sure all the windows are completely 
closed and all doors are locked 
before leaving the vehicle. 
Remember to take your key and 
transmitter.

NOTE

Locking the doors with the inside 
door-lock knob will not arm the 
system.
