NOTE
• The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, replacement keys
require some waiting time to obtain.
They are only available through an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
• Always keep a replacement key, in
case one is lost. If a key is lost,
contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
• If you lose a key, an Authorized
Mazda Dealer will reset the
electronic codes of your remaining
keys and immobilizer system.
Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.
M Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the system's
operation if the system has been modified
or if any add-on equipment has been
installed to it.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your vehicle, do
not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to it.

Security System

Theft-Deterrent System*

The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and trunk lid are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.
NOTE
The theft-deterrent system operates
with the key or the keyless entry
system transmitter.
The system won't function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors, close all the
windows, take your key, your transmitter.
M Operation
What turns it on:
• Forcing open a door, the hood or the
trunk lid.
• Opening a door, the hood or the trunk
lid by operating an inside door-lock
knob, the hood release handle or the
trunk lid release button.
What it does:
• The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash.
• The alarm continues for about 3 minutes,
then stops.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door is
unlocked or the trunk lid is opened with
the key or with the transmitter.
