NOTE
lEngine-starting is controlled by the
spark ignition system.
This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment
Standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field strength of
radio noise.
lThe advanced key must be carried
because the advanced key carries an
immobilizer chip that must
communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
lWhen starting the engine, be sure the
start knob is securely attached before
trying to operate it. If the knob
becomes detached from the ignition
switch, re-attach it by pushing it on
to the ignition switch.
1. Make sure the advanced key is being
carried.
2. Occupants should fasten their seat
belts.
3. Make sure the parking brake is on.
4. Depress the brake pedal.5. Depress the clutch pedal all the way
and shift into neutral.
Keep the clutch pedal depressed while
cranking the engine.

qOpening and Closing the Trunk Lid
WARNING
Close the trunk lid, lock the rear
seatbacks and do not allow children to
play inside the vehicle:
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure.
Always keep the car from being a
tempting place to play by locking rear
seats, doors and the trunk, and
keeping the keys where children can
not play with them:
Leaving children or animals
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. Babies left sleeping and
children who lock themselves in cars
or trunks can die very quickly from
heat prostration. Do not leave your
children or pets alone in a car at any
time. Do not leave the car, the rear
folding seats or the trunk unlocked.
CAUTION
For vehicles equipped with a rear
spoiler, do not lift the trunk lid by the
spoiler. Lifting up the trunk lid by the
rear spoiler could cause damage to the
rear spoiler and the trunk lid.
Opening the trunk lid
Pull up on the handle.
Closing the trunk lid
Grasp the inner handle and pull the trunk
lid down, then push the trunk lid down
until it locks securely. Be careful not to
slam it. Pull up on the trunk lid to make
sure it is secured.

qTrunk Security
In some situations you may want to
prevent the trunk from being unlocked
when the doors are unlocked with the key.
If you must leave your Mazda with
another person, such as a parking
attendant, protect valuables in the trunk
by locking the trunk with the master key,
or the request switch (with advanced key)
on the trunk lid and giving the other
person only the valet key, which does not
open the trunk.
With master key
To secure the trunk lid, close the trunk,
insert the master key and turn it
counterclockwise. Remove the key.
To cancel the security feature, insert the
master key into the lock, turn the key
clockwise to the center position and
remove it.
With request switch (with advanced
key)
NOTE
The trunk lid cannot be secured when
any door or the trunk lid is open.
To secure the trunk lid, press the request
switch on the trunk lid for about 3
seconds. This will lock only the trunk lid.
Request switch
To cancel the security feature, press the
request switch on the trunk lid for about 3
seconds again.

Auto-Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very
hot car, we have introduced a way to get a
head start on cooling it, even before you
put your seat belts on and insert your key
in the ignition. If you see the vehicle is in
a secure area, you can open the all
windows as you approach the vehicle to
get the air moving before you even step
into the hot vehicle.
WARNING
Use the auto-window function only
when you can see the vehicle and it is
in a secure area:
Do not let children play with your
keys. If they open the window without
your knowing, the open windows are
an even bigger invitation to a thief
than leaving the doors unlocked.
The windows can be opened for
ventilating the cabin before getting in the
vehicle.
With unlock button (Keyless entry
system)
Press and hold the unlock button on the
transmitter. After the doors and the trunk
lid are unlocked, the windows fully open

Make sure the fuel-filler cap is
tightened securely. The check engine
light may illuminate when the cap isn't
tightened securely. If the light remains
on (even after you have tightened the
cap securely, driven, and restarted the

different problem. Contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
Hood
WARNING
Always check that the hood is closed
and securely locked:
A hood that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and
block the driver's vision which could
result in a serious accident.
qOpening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood.
2. Slide the hood latch to the right and lift
the hood.

WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or
extend part of the body through the
open moonroof while the vehicle is
moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the
moonroof is dangerous. The head or
arms could hit something while the
vehicle is moving. This could cause
serious injury or death.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof:
A closing moonroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person
―especially a child―could be caught
in it as it closes, causing serious injury
or even death.

qOperation
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to
the ACC or LOCK position. The security
indicator light in the instrument cluster
flashes every 2 seconds until the system is
disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position with
the registered advanced key.
The security indicator light illuminates for
about 3 seconds and goes out.
If the engine doesn't start with the correct
ignition key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
lThe engine may not start and the
security indicator light may
illuminate or flash if the advanced
key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard, or
in the glove box. Move the advanced
key to another place, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK
position, and then restart the engine.
lSignals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or a mobile
telephone could interfere with your
immobilizer system. If you are using
the proper advanced key and the
engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light. If the
indicator light is flashing, turn the
ignition switch to the ACC or LOCK
position and wait for a while, then
restart the engine. If it doesn't start
after 3 or more tries, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
lIf the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving,
don't shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have
it checked. If the engine is shut off
while the indicator light is flashing,
you won't be able to restart it.
lSince the electronic codes are reset
when repairing the immobilizer
system, the advanced key (including
auxiliary key) are needed. Bring all
the advanced keys (including
auxiliary keys) to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

qMaintenance
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
lThe advanced keys (including
auxiliary key) carry a unique
electronic code. For this reason, and
to assure your safety, obtaining a
replacement advanced key (including
auxiliary key) requires some waiting
time. They are only available
through an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
lAlways keep a spare advanced key
in case one is lost. If an advanced
key is lost, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
lIf you lose an advanced key
(including auxiliary key), an
Authorized Mazda Dealer will reset
the electronic codes of your
remaining advanced keys (including
auxiliary keys) and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining
advanced keys (including auxiliary
keys) to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.

system's operation if the system has been
modified or if any add-on equipment has
been installed to it.
