qOperation
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to ACC or OFF. 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
is switched ON with the registered
advanced key.
The security indicator light illuminates for
about 3 seconds and goes out.
If the engine does not start with the
correct advanced 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, switch the ignition off, 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, switch the ignition to ACC or
switch the ignition off and wait for a while,
then restart the engine. If it does not start
after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
lIf the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do not
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 will not 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.

Operating Tips for Audio
System
WARNING
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle:
Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident. Always adjust the
audio while the vehicle is stopped.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level
that allows you to hear sounds
outside of the vehicle including car
horns and particularly emergency
vehicle sirens.
NOTE
lTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio system
on for a long period of time when the
engine is not running.
lIf a cellular phone or CB radio is used in
or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to
occur from the audio system, however, this
does not indicate that the system has been
damaged.
qRadio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach
longer distances than FM signals. Because
of this, two stations may sometimes be
picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.
Station 2 Station 1Ionosphere
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.

Bluetooth® Audioí
qWhat is Bluetooth® Audio?
Bluetooth®audio outline
By programming portable audio devices
equipped with the Bluetooth
®
communication function to the vehicle's
Bluetooth®unit, you can listen to music
or audio recorded on these audio devices
from the vehicle's speakers. Bluetooth
®
audio devices do not need to be plugged
into the auxiliary jack.
After programming, operate the audio
system's control panel or the 7-inch
navigation system to play/stop the music
or audio.
CAUTION
ØAlways program audio devices to
the Bluetooth®audio system
while the vehicle is stopped.
ØBecause only specified Bluetooth
®
audio devices can be used, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer when
purchasing or changing devices.
Bluetooth
®audio devices which
correspond to specified
Bluetooth
®versions and profiles
can be Bluetooth®-connected to
the vehicle's Bluetooth®unit.
However, even among these
devices are ones which cannot be
Bluetooth
®-connected or have
limited functionality. Each device
to be used with the vehicle's
Bluetooth
®unit needs to be
checked individually for
compatibility. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer
concerning device compatibility.

Bluetooth®audio device programming
Any Bluetooth
®audio device must be
programmed to the vehicle's Bluetooth®
unit before it can be listened to over the
vehicle's speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including
Bluetooth
®audio devices and hands-free
mobile phones can be programmed to one
vehicle.NOTE
lAlways perform Bluetooth®audio device
programming while the vehicle is stopped.
lIf a Bluetooth®device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a hands-free
mobile phone, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a Bluetooth
®audio device. Conversely, it
does not need to be programmed again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has already
been programmed as a Bluetooth
®audio
device.
lLook around to be sure other likely
Bluetooth®audio devices are not in range
when you start to program. If in doubt,
move your car to another location. The
transmission range of a Bluetooth
®audio
device is about 10 m (32 ft). Therefore, if
there is another Bluetooth
®audio device
within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of the vehicle,
the device may be identified and
programmed instead.
lDevice registration can also be done using
voice recognition (page 6-77).
Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth®
audio device itself, refer to its instruction
manual.
Some Bluetooth
®audio devices have PIN
codes (four digits). Refer to the audio
device's instruction manual because the
programming procedure differs depending
on whether it has a PIN code or not.
Programming a Bluetooth®audio
device which has a four-digit PIN code
1. Using the audio control dial, select the
pairing program mode
“PAIR DEVICE”in the“BT SETUP”
mode. (Refer to“Bluetooth
®audio
device set-up”for details.)

the most recently programmed device, the
Bluetooth
®unit links this device. If you
would like to use a Bluetooth®audio type
device which has been previously
programmed to the Bluetooth
®unit, the link
must be changed to this device.
