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.
• Since the electronic codes are reset
when repairing the immobilizer
system, the keys are needed. Bring
all the existing keys to the
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
•The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, obtaining replacement
key requires some waiting time.
They are only available through an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
• Always keep a spare 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. Bring
all the remaining keys to the
Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
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.
