This system locks and unlocks the doors

doors with the keyless entry system
transmitter is also possible on power

Press the button slowly and accurately.
Keyless Entry System*
To avoid damage to the transmitter, do
not:
•Drop it.
•Get it wet.
•Disassemble it.
•Expose it to heat or sunlight.
CAUTION
NOTE
•The keyless entry system is
designed to operate up to about 2.5
m (8 ft) from the center of the
vehicle, but this may vary because
of local conditions.
•The system doesn’t operate when
the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
•If the transmitter does not operate
when pressing a button or the
operation range becomes too small,
the battery may be dead. To install a
new battery, refer to Maintenance
(page 3-6).
•Additional transmitters can be
obtained at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. Up to 3 transmitters can be
used with the keyless entry system
per vehicle. Bring all transmitters to

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.
CAUTION
