Security System

M o d i ¿cation and Add-On

Equipment

Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer

and the theft-deterrent systems' operation

if the system has been modi¿ed or if any

add-on equipment has been installed.

Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system allows the

engine to start only with a key the system

recognises.

If someone attempts to start the engine

with an unrecognised key, the engine

will not start, thereby helping to prevent

vehicle theft.

If you have a problem with the

immobilizer system or the key, consult an

Authorised Mazda Repairer.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not

modify the system or install any add-on

equipment to the immobilizer and the

theft-deterrent systems or the vehicle.

CAUTION

ꢀ ꢀ

Changes or modi¿cations not

expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate

the equipment.

ꢀ ꢀ

To avoid damage to the key, do not:

ꢀ ꢀ

Drop the key.

Get the key wet.

Expose the key to any kind of

ꢀ ꢀ

magnetic ¿eld.

Expose the key to high

ꢀ ꢀ

temperatures on places such as the

instrument panel or bonnet, under

direct sunlight.

ꢀ ꢀ

If the engine does not start with the

correct key, and the security indicator

light keeps illuminating or Àashing,

the system may have a malfunction.

Consult an Authorised Mazda

Repairer.

Arming

NOTE

The system is armed when the ignition is

switched from ON to off.

The security indicator light in the

instrument cluster Àashes every 2 seconds

until the system is disarmed.

ꢀ ꢀ

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.

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

Àashing, try the following:

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.

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.

Operation

NOTE

ꢀ ꢀ

The engine may not start and security

indicator light may illuminate or

Àash 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 or in the glove

compartment. Move the key to a

location within the signal range,

switch the ignition off, and then

restart the engine.

NOTE

ꢀ ꢀ

If the security indicator light Àashes

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 Àashing,

you will not be able to restart it.

ꢀ ꢀ

Signals from a TV or radio station,

Because the electronic codes are

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.

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.

Theft-Deterrent System^*

CAUTION

If the theft-deterrent system detects an

inappropriate entry into the vehicle or

the intrusion sensor detects movement

in the vehicle which could result in the

vehicle (with the intrusion sensor) or its

contents being stolen, the alarm alerts the

surrounding area of an abnormality by

sounding the siren/horn and Àashing the

hazard warning lights.

In order for the intrusion sensor to

operate appropriately, be aware of the

following:

ꢀ ꢀ

Do not hang clothing or objects from

a head restraint or a coat hook.

Return the extension sunvisors to

their original positions.

ꢀ ꢀ

Do not blind the intrusion sensor by

covering it or placing objects over it.

Do not allow the intrusion sensor to

get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.

Do not shock or cause an impact to

the intrusion sensor or the intrusion

sensor bezel.

Do not install seats that are not

Mazda genuine products.

To prevent obstruction of intrusion

The system will not function unless it's

properly armed. So when you leave the

vehicle, follow the arming procedure

correctly.

ꢀ ꢀ

sensor, do not place objects or cargo

near the intrusion sensor that are

higher than the head restraints.

The intrusion sensor detects certain kinds

of movement inside the vehicle, however,

it may also respond to phenomenon
