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 has  
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 vehicle theft.  
If you have a problem with the  
immobilizer system or the key, consult  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
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  
Radio equipment like this is  
governed by laws in the United  
States.  
Changes or modifications 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 field.  
Expose the key to high  
temperatures on places such as the  
dashboard or hood, under direct  
sunlight.  
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.

NOTE  
The security indicator light in the  
instrument cluster flashes 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  
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.  
Disarming  
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

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.

has not been reset is not possible.

and then restart the engine. If the  
engine does not start after 3 or more  
tries, contact an Authorized Mazda  
Dealer.  
NOTE  
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.  
Signals from a TV or 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.
