with non-Mazda aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems
may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
THEFT INDICATOR

rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.

can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the
same key ring as thecoded keymay cause vehicle starting issues.
NOTE:If present, you need to keep these objects from touching the
coded keywhile starting the engine.

head or as close to that position as possible. Refer to the following to
raise and lower the head restraints.
The head restraints can be moved
up and down.
Push side control and push down on
