Security System
The optional immobilizer system allows
the engine to start only with a key the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent the
theft of your vehicle.
Immobilizer System*
•Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
•To avoid damage to the key, do not:
Drop the key.
Get the key wet.
Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as
the dashboard or hood, under
direct sunlight.
CAUTION
•When starting the engine do not
allow the following, as the engine
may not start due to the electronic
signal from the ignition key not
being transmitted correctly.
A key ring rests on the key grip.
Metal parts of other keys or
metal objects touch the key grip.
Spare keys or keys for other
vehicles equipped with an
immobilizer system touch or
come near the key grip.

or security passage touch or
come near the key.
CAUTION

Maintenance
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
system’s operation if the system has been
modified or if any add-on equipment has
been installed to it.
NOTE
•If the warning light comes on and
stays on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, the
engine will not start.
•Signals 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 key and your
engine fails to start, check the
warning light. If it is flashing,
remove the ignition key and wait 2
seconds or more, then reinsert it and
try starting the engine again. If it
doesn’t start after 3 or more tries,
contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
•If the warning light flashes
continuously while you are driving,
don’t shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have
it checked. If you shut off the
engine while the light is flashing
you won’t be able to restart it.
NOTE
•The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, replacement keys
require some waiting time to obtain.
They are only available through an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•Always keep a replacement key, in
case one is lost. If a key is lost,
contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
•If you lose a key, an Authorized
Mazda Dealer will reset the
electronic codes of your remaining
keys and immobilizer system.
Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, do
not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to it.
