Theft-Deterrent System - Mazda Mazda5 Owner's Manual

NOTE
If the security indicator light flashes
l
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 flashing,
you will not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
l
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.
qModification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
system's operation if the system has been
modified or if any add-on equipment has
been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your vehicle, do
not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
system or the vehicle.
