A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this
plate and store it in a safe place (not in
the vehicle) for use if you need to
make a replacement key.
Also write down the code number and
keep it in another safe and handy
place, but not in the vehicle.
If your key is lost, consult your
Authorized Mazda Dealer with the
code number ready.

only available through an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

key, in case one is lost. If a key
is lost, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.

Mazda Dealer will reset the
electronic codes of your

the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.
