Keyless Entry System
▼Keyless Entry System
This system uses the key buttons to
remotely lock and unlock the doors,
liftgate, and fuel-filler lid, and opens
the trunk lid.
The system can start the engine
without having to take the key out of
your purse or pocket.
It can also help you signal for attention
or help.
Operating the theft-deterrent system is
also possible on theft-deterrent
system-equipped vehicles.

System malfunctions or warnings are
indicated by the following warning
lights or beeps.
Check the displayed message for more
information and, if necessary, have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer, according to the
indication.
KEY Warning Indication/Warning

If you have a problem with the key,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If your key is lost or stolen, consult an

make the lost or stolen key inoperative.
CAUTION
Radio equipment like this is governed
by laws in the United States.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
The keyless entry system operation
may vary due to local conditions.
The keyless entry system is fully
operational 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 weak. To install a new
battery, refer to Key Battery
Replacement (page 6-30).
Battery life is about 1 year. Replace
the battery with a new one if the
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster. Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the KEY
warning indication may not display
depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
Additional keys can be obtained at
an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to
6 keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys
to an Authorized Mazda Dealer
when additional keys are required.

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
