Immobilizer System

▼ Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key the
system recognizes.
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
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, 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.

Dealer.
