qSystem Malfunction Warning Beep

If any malfunction occurs in the advanced keyless function, the KEY warning light (red) in the instrument cluster illuminates continuously and beep sounds will be heard.

CAUTION

If the KEY warning light (red) remains illuminated, do not continue to drive the vehicle with the advanced keyless function. Park the vehicle in a safe place and use the auxiliary key to continue driving the vehicle. Have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Refer to Ignition Switch (page 5-2).

qStart Knob Not in LOCK Warning Beep

If the ignition is switched to ACC and the driver's door is opened, a continuous beep sound will be heard to notify the driver that the ignition has not been switched off. In this case, the keyless entry system does not operate, the car cannot be locked, and the battery will run down.

qAdvanced Key Removed from Vehicle Warning Beep

Under the following conditions, a beep sound will be heard and the KEY warning light (red) will flash continuously when the ignition has not been switched off to notify the driver that the advanced key has been removed. The KEY warning light (red) will stop flashing when the advanced key is back inside the vehicle:

lThe ignition has not been switched off, the driver's door is open, and the advanced key is removed from the vehicle. (A beep sound will be heard 3 times.)

However the beep sound will be heard continuously when the ignition is switched to ACC and the door is open due to the activation of the warning beep sound indicating that the ignition is not switched off.

lThe ignition has not been switched off and all the doors are closed after removing the advanced key from the vehicle. (A beep sound will be heard 6 times.)

NOTE

Because the advanced key utilizes low-intensity radio waves, the Advanced Key Removed From Vehicle Warning may activate if the advanced key is carried together with a metal object or it is placed in a poor signal reception area within the vehicle.

qRequest Switch Inoperable Warning Beep

If the request switch for a front door is pressed under the following conditions while the advanced key is being carried, a beep will be heard 6 times to indicate that the front doors cannot be locked.
