If your key is lost or stolen, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible for a replacement and to 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
ï‚·The keyless entry system operation may
vary due to local conditions.
ï‚·The keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/liftgate lock/unlock)
when the ignition is switched off. The
system does not operate if the ignition is
switched to any position other than off.
ï‚·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
6-44).
ï‚·Battery life is about 1 year. Replace the
battery with a new one if the KEY
indicator light (green) flashes in the
instrument cluster (for vehicles with a
type A/type B instrument cluster (page
4-13, 4-30), 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 flash depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
ï‚·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.
