Keys
NOTE
  The keyless entry system operation
may vary due to local conditions.
  The keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/liftgate 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 dead. To install a new battery,
refer to Key Battery Replacement
(page 6-39 ).
  Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one
if the KEY indicator light (green)
fl ashes in the instrument cluster.
Replacing the battery about once
a year is recommended because
the KEY warning light/indicator
light may not illuminate or fl ash
depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
  Additional keys can be obtained at
an Authorised Mazda Repairer. Up to
6 keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys
to an Authorised Mazda Repairer
when additional keys are required.

Before Driving
Doors and Locks
NOTE
 

 When the liftgate latch is released by
pressing the electric liftgate opener,
the liftgate raises slightly to allow
it to be opened. If the liftgate is not
operated for a certain period of time
after the electric liftgate opener has
been pressed, the liftgate cannot be
raised any more from its slightly
raised position. Press the electric
liftgate opener again to fully open
the liftgate. To close the liftgate from
its slightly raised position, open it
fi rst by pressing the electric liftgate
opener, and waiting for 1 second or
longer then close it.
 If the liftgate is not fully closed,
the driver is notifi ed by a warning
indicated in the instrument cluster.
 
 If the vehicle battery is dead or there
is a malfunction in the electrical
system and the liftgate cannot be
unlocked, the liftgate can be opened
by performing the emergency
procedure.
 Refer to When Liftgate Cannot be
Opened on page 7-55 .

Before Driving
Security System
NOTE
  The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, obtaining a replacement
key requires some waiting time.
They are only available through an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible.
  If 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.
Operation
NOTE
  The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or
fl ash if the key is placed in an area
where it is diffi cult 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.
  Signals 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.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster fl ashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
fl ashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
  If the security indicator light fl ashes
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 fl ashing,
you will not be able to restart it.
  Because 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.
