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
