Knowing Your Mazda
Security 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 the theft of your vehicle.
If you have a problem with the immobilizer system or the key, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
