new battery, refer to Key Battery
Replacement (page 6-31 ).
  Battery life is about one year.

if the KEY indicator light (green)
À ashes in the instrument cluster (for
vehicles with a type A instrument
cluster (page 4-42 ), messages are
displayed in the instrument cluster).
Replacing the battery about once
a year is recommended because
the KEY warning light/indicator
light may not illuminate or À 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
