Keys
A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and convenient
place, but not in the vehicle.
If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult
your Authorised Mazda Repairer and have
your code number ready.
NOTE
The driver must carry the key to ensure
the system functions properly.
Auxiliary key Transmitter
Key code number plate
To use the auxiliary key, pull out the
auxiliary key from the transmitter while
pressing the knob.
Knob
Keyless Entry System
This system uses the key buttons to
remotely lock and unlock the doors and
the boot lid, fuel- ¿ ller À ap, and opens the
boot lid.
The system can start the engine without
having to take the key out of your purse or
pocket.
Operating the theft-deterrent system is
also possible on theft-deterrent system-
equipped vehicles.
System malfunctions or warnings are
indicated by the following warning lights
or beeps.
For vehicles with the type A instrument
cluster, check the displayed message for
more information and, if necessary, have
the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer, according to the indication.

Before Driving
Keys
CAUTION
Changes or modi ¿ cations not expressly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
The keyless entry system operation
may vary due to local conditions.
The keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/boot lid/fuel- ¿ ller
À ap lock/unlock) when the ignition
is switched off. The system does not
operate if the ignition is switched to
any position other than off.
If the key does not operate when
pressing a button or the operational
range becomes too small, the
battery may be weak. To install a
new battery, refer to Key Battery
Replacement (page 6-31 ).
Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one
if the KEY indicator light (green)
À ashes in the instrument cluster (for
vehicles with a type A instrument
cluster (page 4-42 ), messages are
displayed in the instrument cluster).
Replacing the battery about once
a year is recommended because
the KEY warning light/indicator
light may not illuminate or À ash
depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
Additional keys can be obtained at
an Authorised Mazda Repairer. Up to
6 keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys
to an Authorised Mazda Repairer
when additional keys are required.

Before Driving
Security System
NOTE
The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, obtaining a replacement
key requires some waiting time.
They are only available through an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible.
If you lose a key, an Authorised
Mazda Repairer will reset the
electronic codes of your remaining
keys and immobilizer system.
Bring all the remaining keys to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.
Operation
NOTE
The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or
À ash if the key is placed in an area
where it is dif ¿ cult for the system
to detect the signal, such as on the
instrument panel. Move the key to
a location within the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
Signals from a TV or radio station,
or from a transceiver or mobile
telephone could interfere with your
immobilizer system. If you are using
the proper key and the engine fails
to start, check the security indicator
light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster À ashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
À ashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
If the security indicator light À ashes
continuously while you are driving,
do not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer and have
it checked. If the engine is shut off
while the indicator light is À ashing,
you will not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system
is repaired, the keys are needed.
Make sure to bring all the keys to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer so that
they can be programmed.

Operation
Siren/Horn triggering conditions
The siren/horn sounds intermittently and
the hazard warning lights À ash for about
30 seconds when the system is triggered
by any one of the following:
Unlocking a door with an inside door-
lock knob.
Forcing open a door, the bonnet or the
boot lid.
Opening the bonnet by operating the
bonnet release handle.
Switching the ignition ON without using
the push button start.
(With the intrusion sensor)
The intrusion sensor detects a movement
in the vehicle.
The system will be triggered again (up to
10 times) if one of the above conditions

(With the intrusion sensor)
Disconnecting the battery terminal (the
hazard warning lights do not À ash).
The system will be triggered about 10
times.
NOTE

theft-deterrent system is armed,
the siren/horn will activate and the
hazard warning lights will À ash when
the battery is charged or replaced.
How to Arm the System
1. Close the windows and the convertible
top securely.
NOTE
(With the intrusion sensor)
The intrusion sensor function can be
armed only when the convertible top is
closed.
Even with a window open, the system
can be armed, however, leaving the
windows even partially open can invite
theft, and wind blowing into the vehicle
could trigger the alarm.
The intrusion sensor function can also
be cancelled.
Refer to Cancelling the Intrusion Sensor
(With Intrusion Sensor) on page 3-57 .
2. Switch the ignition OFF.
3. Make sure the bonnet, convertible top,
the doors, and the boot lid are closed.
