Security System

qOperation

Arming

The system is armed when the ignition is switched from ON to ACC or OFF. The security indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes every two seconds until the system is disarmed.

Disarming

The system is disarmed when the ignition is switched ON with the registered advanced key.

The security indicator light illuminates for about three seconds and turns off.

If the engine does not start with the correct advanced key, and the security indicator light keeps illuminating or flashing, the system may have a malfunction. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

lThe engine may not start and the security indicator light may illuminate or flash if the advanced key is placed in an area where it is difficult for the system to detect the signal, such as on the dashboard, or in the glove compartment. Move the advanced key to another place, switch the ignition off, and then restart the engine.

lSignals from a TV or radio station, or from a transceiver or a mobile telephone could interfere with your immobilizer system. If you are using the proper advanced key and the engine fails to start, check the security indicator light. If the indicator light is flashing, switch the ignition to ACC or switch the ignition off and wait for a while, then restart the engine. If it does not start after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorized

Mazda Dealer.

lIf the security indicator light flashes continuously while you are driving, do not shut off the engine. Go to an Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it checked. If the engine is shut off while the indicator light is flashing, you will not be able to restart it.

lSince the electronic codes are reset when repairing the immobilizer system, the advanced key (including auxiliary key) are needed. Bring all the advanced keys (including auxiliary keys) to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
