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
vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
Changes or modifi cations 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 fi eld.
Expose the key to high
      
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
If the engine does not start with the
    
correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or fl ashing,
the system may have a malfunction.
