your children will not find or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is

being badly injured or even killed. Children
may find 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.

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.
