Security System

Immobilizer System

Modification and Add-On

Equipment

The immobilizer system allows the engine

to start only with a key the system

recognizes.

Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer

and the theft-deterrent systems' operation

if the system have been modified or if any

add-on equipment has been installed.

If someone attempts to start the engine

with an unrecognized key, the engine will

not start, thereby helping to prevent the

theft of your vehicle.

If you have a problem with the

immobilizer system or the key, consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to your vehicle, do

not modify the system or install any

add-on equipment to the immobilizer

and the theft-deterrent systems or

the vehicle.

CAUTION

Ø Radio equipment like this is

governed by laws.

Changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to

operate the equipment.

Ø To avoid damage to the key, do

not:

Drop the key.

Get the key wet.

Expose the key to any kind of

magnetic field.

Expose the key to high

temperatures on places such as

the dashboard or hood, under

direct sunlight.

Ø If the engine does not start with

the correct key, and the security

indicator light keeps illuminating

or flashing, the system may have

a malfunction. Consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Security System

NOTE

Arming

The keys carry a unique electronic code.

The system is armed when the push

button start is pressed from ON to off.

The security indicator light in the

instrument cluster flashes every 2 seconds

until the system is disarmed.

For this reason, and to assure your safety,

obtaining a 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, consult an Authorized

Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page

4-20.

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 an

Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.

Starting the vehicle with a key that has not

been reset is not possible.

Disarming

qOperation

The system is disarmed when the ignition

is switched ON with the correct

NOTE

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

flashing, try the following:

The engine may not start and security

indicator light may illuminate or flash if the

key is placed in an area where it is difficult

for the system to detect the signal, such as

on the dashboard or in the glove

compartment. Move the key to a location

within the signal range, switch the ignition

off, and then restart the engine.

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

Signals from a TVor 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.

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

If the security indicator light flashes

continuously while you are driving, do not

shut off the engine. Go to an Authorized

Mazda Dealer and have it checked. If the

engine is shut off while the indicator light is

flashing, 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer so that they

can be programmed.
