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 key programmed to your vehicleis used.
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.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keysfor instructions on how to program the coded
key.
Note:A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
Locks and Security
74

Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
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, then turn off, 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 Mazda dealer for
service.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 2
(ACC) position.
The light in the instrument cluster
will flash every two seconds when
the vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with acoded keydisarms

²The indicator will illuminate for
three seconds and then go out.
²If the indicator stays on for an
extended period of time or
flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your authorized Mazda
dealer.
Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you don't have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes
need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys and key codes
will need to be programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized Mazda dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
WARNING: If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it
will cause a ªno startº condition.
Programming spare keys
You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.
Tips:
²Only use Securilockykeys.
²You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that
already operate your vehicle's engine) and the new unprogrammed
key(s) readily accessible.
²If you do not have at least 2 previously programmed keys, you must
take your vehicle to your authorized Mazda dealer to have the spare
key(s) programmed.
