WARNING
Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from children (Saloon):
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous. Children
who fi nd their way into the boot through an unlocked rear seatback or an open boot
can become accidentally locked in the boot. This could result in death or brain damage
from heat prostration, particularly in the summer. Always lock the doors and the boot,
and as an added measure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in
your home or not.
CAUTION
When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fi ngers near the moving
parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the
cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
(Manual Seat) When returning a rear-reclined seatback of a front seat to its upright position, make
sure you hold onto the seatback with your other hand while operating the lever. If the
seatback is not supported, it will fl ip forward suddenly and could cause injury.
(Power Seat) The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation
because excessive use can damage the motors.
To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when
the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.
NOTE
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal
position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not fi nd or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may fi nd these keys
to be an interesting toy to play with
and could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even make
the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may
not function correctly under the
following conditions:
The key is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
The key contacts or is covered by a
metal object.
The key is near electronic devices
such as personal computers.
Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
vehicle.
There is equipment which
discharges radio waves near the
vehicle.
CAUTION
The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it
receives high-intensity radio waves.
Do not place the key near electronic
devices such as televisions or
personal computers.
To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
Drop the key.
Get the key wet.
Disassemble the key.
Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic fi eld.
Place heavy objects on the key.
Put the key in an ultrasonic
cleaner.
Put any magnetized objects close
to the key.
A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and convenient
place, but not in the vehicle.
If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult
your Authorised Mazda Repairer and have
your code number ready.
