otherwise, you will not be able to start the engine using the advanced keyless start system once the
battery is completely dead. Refer to KEY Warning Light (Red)/KEY Indicator Light (Green) (with
Advanced Key) on page 5-49. If this occurs, you will have to use the auxiliary key if you need to
start the engine immediately. Refer to Advanced Key Battery Dead Warning on page 3-20.
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.
lAdditional advanced keys can be obtained at an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to 6 advanced keys
can be used with the advanced keyless functions per vehicle.

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 compartment. Move the advanced key
to another place, switch the ignition off,
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, switch the ignition to ACC or
switch the ignition off and wait for a while,
then restart the engine. If it does not start

Operating Tips for Audio
System
WARNING
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle:Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident. Always adjust the
audio while the vehicle is stopped.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level
that allows you to hear sounds
outside of the vehicle including car
horns and particularly emergency
vehicle sirens.
NOTE
lTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio system
on for a long period of time when the
engine is not running.
lIf a cellular phone or CB radio is used in
or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to
occur from the audio system, however, this
does not indicate that the system has been
damaged.
q Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach
longer distances than FM signals. Because
of this, two stations may sometimes be
picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.
Station 2
Station 1 Ionosphere
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40
―50 km (25 ―30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.

Bluetooth® Hands-Freeí
qWhat is Bluetooth® Hands-Free?
Bluetooth®Hands-Free Outline
By connecting a Bluetooth
®equipped
mobile telephone to the hands-free unit
equipped on the vehicle, making and
receiving calls are possible using the
voice recognition/hands-free switch
located on the steering wheel, and saying
the voice commands.
WARNING
Perform phonebook registration related
operations while the vehicle is parked: Performing phonebook registration
while driving the vehicle could be a
distraction to your driving and result
in an unexpected accident. In
addition, a mistake in performing the
phonebook operation could result in
the loss of important data.
Bluetooth®equipped mobile telephone
A Bluetooth
®equipped mobile telephone
communicates with the hands-free unit
equipped on the vehicle using radio
transmission (Bluetooth
®).
For example, if the mobile telephone is
placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls
can be made through your mobile service
without taking out and handling the
mobile telephone.
CAUTION
The types of mobile phones which
can be connected to the hands-free
unit are limited. Therefore, before
purchasing or changing your mobile
phone model, consult Mazda
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Customer
Service or visit www.MazdaUSA.com/
bluetooth for a complete list of
compatible phones.
Mobile phones which can be
connected to the hands-free system
need to be compliant with
Bluetooth
®specifications and the
appropriate profile. However, even
among these Bluetooth
®phones are
some which will not connect with
your Mazda or will have limited
function. Therefore, consult Mazda

To prevent the deterioration in voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points must be observed:
lIt is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
lClose the windows and/or the
moonroof to reduce loud noises from

deteriorate under the following
conditions.
lA passenger is speaking.lDriving with the window and/or the
moonroof open.
lDriving on bumpy roads.lNoise outside of the vehicle is loud.
(Construction sites, inside tunnels,
excess oncoming traffic, or heavy

lOperation noise from turn signals,
wipers, or the horn is heard.
lA/C airflow is strong or wind is
blowing on the microphone.
lThere is noise coming from cargo
loaded in the vehicle.
lVoice commands may not be
recognized depending on the voice. If
the voice commands are not recognized
correctly, repeat the commands in a
louder voice, at a natural pace, as if
speaking to another person.
lDialects or different wording other than
hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording specified by the voice
commands.
