Remote Trunk Lid Release
To release the trunk lid from inside the
vehicle, push the button.





Trunk Security
In some situations you may want to
prevent the trunk from being opened with
the remote trunk lid release button.
If you must leave your Mazda with
another person, such as a parking
attendant, protect valuables in the trunk
by locking the rear seatbacks and trunk.
Give the other person only the secondary
key, which does not open the trunk.
To secure the trunk lid, lock the rear
seatbacks (page 2-7), push the left side of
the trunk-lock switch, and close the trunk. To cancel the security feature, insert the
primary key into the lock, turn the key
clockwise to open the trunk, and push the
right side of the trunk-lock switch.





Trunk Light
The trunk light is on when the lid is open
and off when it ’s closed.
NOTE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the trunk open
for a long period when the engine is
not running.

Your vehicle is equipped with a trunk
release handle that provides a means of
escape for children and adults in the event
they become locked inside the trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars, parents
should be aware that children may be
tempted to play around vehicles and use
the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle so that all
children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles don’t have such handles.
Trunk Release Handle
Open Trunk Lid and Children:Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure. Close the trunk lid, lock the
rear seatbacks and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle.
Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving children or animals
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. Babies left sleeping and
kids who lock themselves in cars or
trunks can die very quickly from heat
prostration. Don ’t leave your children
or pets alone in a car at any time.
Don’ t leave the car, the rear folding
seats or the trunk unlocked. Always
keep the car from being a tempting
place to play by locking rear seats,
doors and the trunk, and keeping the
keys where children won ’t play with
them.

Security System
Form No. 8Q50-EA-01G
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 and headlights.
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,
and make sure the security indicator light
is flashing.





Operation
What turns it on:
• Forcing open a door, the hood or the
trunk lid.
• Opening the hood or the trunk lid by
operating the hood release lever or
remote trunk lid release button.
• Opening a door after unlocking the
doors with the key or an inside door-
lock button. What it does:
•
The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights and headlights
flash.
• The alarm continues for about 3
minutes, then stops.
When it is triggered, the warning lights
and horn will activate. They will shut off
when:
• The doors are unlocked with the
keyless entry system transmitter.
• The trunk lid is opened with the key or
the keyless entry system transmitter.
• The ignition is turned to the ON
position.





How to Arm the System
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Close the hood and the trunk lid. Then
close the doors and press the
button on the keyless entry system
transmitter.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood and the trunk lid. Press the
area on the door-lock switch marked
"DOOR LOCK" once. Close all the doors.
The hazard warning lights will flash for
about 2 seconds to indicate the system is
armed.
Theft-Deterrent System
NOTE
The theft-deterrent system has been
designed to operate mainly with the
keyless entry system transmitter.
NOTE
The alarm will activate about 15
seconds after a door has been opened.
The indicator light flashes rapidly for
about 15 seconds.
NOTE
Locking the doors with a key will not
arm the system.
