It is necessary to haveall(maximum of four Ð original and/or new) of
your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure.
NOTE:This procedure must be completed within the specified times. If
not completed within the specified time period, reprograming procedures
must be restarted from the beginning.
To program the transmitters yourself:
²Insert a key in the ignition and
turn from 1 (LOCK) to 3 (RUN)
eight times in rapid succession
(within 10 seconds) with the
eighth turn ending in the 3

remote transmitter by pressing
any button on a transmitter. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that
the remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20
seconds pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, the
programming mode will exit and the procedure will have to be
repeated.)
²Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters.
The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has
been programmed.
²When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn
the ignition to 1 (LOCK) or wait 20 seconds. Again the doors will
lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.

SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless acoded keyis used.
NOTE:The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is not compatible
with non-Mazda aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems
may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
THEFT INDICATOR
The theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
²When the ignition is in the OFF position, the indicator will flash once
every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLockysystem is functioning as
a theft deterrent.
²When the ignition is in the ON position, the indicator will glow for 3
seconds to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLockysystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.

can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the
same key ring as thecoded keymay cause vehicle starting issues.
NOTE:If present, you need to keep these objects from touching the
coded keywhile starting the engine.
NOTE:These objects and devices cannot damage thecoded key,but
can cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key during
engine start.
