Security System; Immobilizer System - Mazda Mazda5 Owner's Manual

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 the
theft of your vehicle.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not
l
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:
l
Drop the key.
l
Get the key wet.
l
Expose the key to any kind of
l
magnetic field.
Expose the key to high
l
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
If the engine does not start with the
l
correct key, and the security
indicator light keeps illuminating or
flashing, the system may have a
malfunction. Consult an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
