GAUGES
Speedometer:Indicates the
current vehicle speed.
Engine coolant temperature
gauge:Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the needle will be in
the normal range (between ªHº and
ªCº).If it enters the red section,
the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.Refer to
Engine coolantin theMaintenance and Specificationschapter.
WARNING: When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding
coolant and steam may shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury. Do not remove the cooling system cap when the
engine and radiator are hot.
NOTE:This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not
the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge
indication will not be accurate.

SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless acoded key programmed to your vehicleis used.
The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is not compatible with
non-Mazda aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keysfor instructions on how to program the coded
key.
Note:A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
²When the ignition is in the OFF position, the indicator will flash once
every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLockysystem is functioning as
a theft deterrent.
²When the ignition is in the ON position, the indicator will glow for 3
seconds, then turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLockysystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized Mazda dealer for
service.

Programming spare keys
You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.
Tips:
²Only use Securilockykeys.
²You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that
already operate your vehicle's engine) and the new unprogrammed
key(s) readily accessible.
²If you do not have at least 2 previously programmed keys, you must
take your vehicle to your authorized Mazda dealer to have the spare
key(s) programmed.
1. Insert a previously programmed
coded keyinto the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (ON) position for at least one second, but
no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove thecoded
keyfrom the ignition.
4. Within ten seconds, insert the second previouslycoded keyinto the
ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (ON) position for at least one second, but
no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the second
previously programmedcoded keyfrom the ignition.
7. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed
coded key,insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition.

8. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (ON) position for at least one second but
not more than 10 seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle's
engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and
then go out.
If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your
vehicle's engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off, or stay
on for more than three seconds. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to
your authorized Mazda dealer to have the new key(s) programmed.
To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure
from step 1 for each additional key.
PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
headlamps, parking lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever key is removed from the ignition.
Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
²Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
²Lock the doors using the key.
NOTE:If a door is open, the system is not armed.
²The system will become prearmed, when all doors are closed. When
the system becomes prearmed the flashers will flash to confirm the
prearming.
²Once the system is prearmed, the system will arm in 20 seconds. If
any door is opened during these 20 seconds, the arming will be
canceled.

STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. LOCK, locks the gearshift lever
and allows key removal.
2. ACCESSORY, allows the
electrical accessories such as
the radio to operate while the
engine is not running.
3. ON, all electrical circuits
operational. Warning lights
illuminated. Key position when
driving.
4. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system.
Note:This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment
standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of
radio noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have
difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the
vehicle, refer toStarting the enginein this chapter.
WARNING: Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.
WARNING: Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING: Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in
other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine. SeeGuarding
against exhaust fumesin this chapter for more instructions.
