lUnder the following conditions, the
KEY warning light (red) will flash
continuously when the start knob has
not been returned to the OFF/LOCK
position to notify the driver that the
advanced key has been removed from
the vehicle. It will stop flashing when
the advanced key is back inside the
vehicle.
lThe start knob has not been returned
to the OFF/LOCK position, the
driver's door is open, and the
advanced key is removed from the
vehicle.

the doors are closed after removing
the advanced key from the vehicle.

3-22).
KEY Indicator Light (Green)
When illuminated
When the start knob is pushed in from the
OFF/LOCK position, the system confirms
that the correct advanced key is inside the
vehicle, the KEY indicator light (green)
illuminates, and the start knob can be
turned to the ACC position (page 3-11).
When flashing
When the advanced key battery power is
low, the KEY indicator light flashes for 30
seconds after the start knob is turned from
the ON position to the ACC or OFF/
LOCK position. Replace with a new
battery before the advanced key becomes
unusable (page 3-7). NOTE
The advanced key can be set so that the KEY
indicator light (green) does not flash even if
the battery power is low.
Refer to Setting Change (Function
Customization) on page 3-21.
q
Security Indicator Light
This indicator light starts flashing every
two seconds when the ignition is switched
from ON to ACC and the immobilizer
system is armed.
The light stops flashing when the ignition
is switched ON with the correct ignition
key.
At this time, the immobilizer system is
disarmed and the light illuminates for
about three seconds and then turns off.
If the engine does not 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.
