be particularly careful when using
the keyless entry system transmitter.
Be sure to view the doors opening or
closing and do not operate a door on
either side if you can’t fully see it.

Opening/closing with door handles
When the power sliding doors are
completely closed and a door is slid by the
handle slightly in the direction of
opening, the door completely opens
automatically after the buzzer sounds.When the doors are completely open and
a door is slid by the handle 5 cm (2 in) in
the direction of closing, the doors will
completely close automatically after the
buzzer sounds.
Jam-safe equipment
While a door is opening/closing
electrically and the system detects a
person or an object in the sliding door’s
path, the door will slide in the reverse
direction automatically.
When the power sliding doors are sliding
in the opening direction and an
obstruction is detected in its path, the
buzzer sounds and the doors slide in the
opposite direction approximately 10 cm
(4 in) and stop. When the doors are
sliding in the closing direction and an
obstruction is detected, the buzzer sounds
and the doors open completely.

Check Area Around Power Sliding
Doors Before Operating:
Not checking for occupants and
objects around a power sliding door
before opening/closing it is
dangerous. The jam-safe equipment
is designed to prevent jamming in the
event an obstruction is in the sliding
door’s path. However, if the jam-safe
function detects an obstruction and
slides the door in the reverse
direction, an occupant in the door’s
path could be seriously injured.
Always check the area around the
power sliding doors before opening/
closing them.

Rear Quarter WindowsFuel-Filler Lid and Cap
Fuel Spray:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness
when ingested. Fuel spray is released
when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel cap is removed too
quickly. When removing the fuel cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop. Then remove it.
Fuel Vapor:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries. Before
refueling, stop the engine, and always
keep sparks and flames away from the
filler neck.
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel
cap or an approved equivalent,
available at Authorized Mazda
Dealers. The wrong cap can result in a
serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems. It may also
cause the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.

with an unrecognized key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent the
theft of your vehicle.

properly, the light will come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON or
START position. The light will go out
when confirmation by the immobilizer
system is completed.

on, or comes on and stays on, it indicates
a system malfunction. If any of these
occur, contact an Authorized Mazda

The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and liftgate are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.
The system won’t function unless it’s
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors and the liftgate,
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
liftgate.
•Opening a door or the hood by
operating an inside door-lock button or
the hood release handle.
What it does:
•The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash.
•The alarm continues for about 3
minutes, then stops.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door or the
liftgate is unlocked with the key or with
the transmitter.

How to Arm the System
1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2. Close the hood. Then close all doors
and the liftgate and lock them from the
outside using the key in the door. If you
have the keyless entry system, press the

hazard warning lights will flash one
time to indicate that the system is
armed.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:

seconds to indicate that the system is
fully armed. It continues to flash until
the theft-deterrent system is turned off.

NOTE
The theft-deterrent system operates
without the keyless entry system
transmitter, as well.
NOTE
Locking the doors with the inside
door-lock button will not arm the
system.
