xAlways keep a spare key in case one is
lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.
xIf you lose a key, an Authorised Mazda
Repairer will reset the electronic codes
of your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
an Authorised Mazda Repairer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.

NOTE
xThe engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or flash if
the key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel
or in the glove compartment. Move the
key to a location within the signal
range, switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
xSignals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer
system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light.

NOTE
xIf the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is flashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
xBecause the electronic codes are reset
when the immobilizer system is repaired,
the keys are needed. Make sure to bring
all the keys to an Authorised Mazda
Repairer so that they can be
programmed.

xWhen accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set
vehicle speed can be adjusted but
acceleration is not possible. If there is

white-line display.
xThe minimum settable speed is 30 km/h
(19 mph). If the set vehicle speed
reaches 30 km/h (19 mph) using the
switch operation, constant speed travel
is maintained at about 30 km/h (19 mph)
even if the SET
switch is pressed. The
MRCC system is not cancelled.

If you must run the engine while working under the bonnet, make certain that you remove all
jewellery (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and
similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on
unexpectedly:
Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jewellery, loose clothing or have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch the ignition
off and make sure the fan is not
running before attempting to work near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could continue running
indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine compartment temperature is high.
You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured.
Do not leave items in the engine compartment:
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compartment, do not forget
and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine compartment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine damage or a fire
leading to an unexpected accident.

Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. Contact an expert repair‐
er, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer to have the brakes inspected as soon
as possible:
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indicates that
your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely fail at any time. If this
light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking brake is fully released, have
the brakes inspected immediately.
&$87,21
In addition, the
effectiveness of the braking may diminish so you may need to depress
the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop the vehicle.

pairer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible:

simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emer‐
gency stop than under normal circumstances.
