Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
Fuel Spray:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness if
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. Additionally, use of the
incorrect fuel filler cap or not using a
fuel filler cap may result in fuel leak,
which could result in serious burns or
death in an accident.
CAUTION
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel
cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. 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.

qOperation
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to
the ACC or LOCK position. The security
indicator light in the instrument cluster
flashes every 2 seconds until the system is
disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position with
the registered advanced key.
The security indicator light illuminates for
about 3 seconds and goes out.
If the engine doesn't start with the correct
ignition key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
lThe engine may not start and the
security indicator light may
illuminate or flash if the advanced
key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard, or
in the glove box. Move the advanced
key to another place, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK
position, and then restart the engine.
lSignals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or a mobile
telephone could interfere with your
immobilizer system. If you are using
the proper advanced key and the
engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light. If the
indicator light is flashing, turn the
ignition switch to the ACC or LOCK
position and wait for a while, then
restart the engine. If it doesn't start
after 3 or more tries, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
lIf the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving,
don't shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have
it checked. If the engine is shut off
while the indicator light is flashing,
you won't be able to restart it.
lSince the electronic codes are reset
when repairing the immobilizer
system, the advanced key (including
auxiliary key) are needed. Bring all
the advanced keys (including
auxiliary keys) to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
