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
À ash if the key is placed in an area
where it is dif¿ cult for the system
to detect the signal, such as on the
instrument panel. 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 À 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
À 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 À 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 À 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.
