While the ignition is switched ON, the
liftgate can be opened only when the
vehicle is stopped with the parking brake
applied (manual transaxle), or with the
selector lever in the P position (automatic
transaxle).
NOTE
l(With the advanced keyless function)lA locked liftgate can also be opened
while the key is being carried.
lWhen using the advanced keyless
function to open the liftgate, it may
require a few seconds for the liftgate to

doors are locked with the key left in the
vehicle. However, to prevent leaving the
key in the vehicle, the liftgate can be
opened by pressing the electric liftgate
opener.
lWhen the liftgate is unlocked by pressing
the electric liftgate opener, the liftgate
raises slightly to allow it to be opened. If
the liftgate is not operated for a certain
period of time after the electric liftgate
opener has been pressed, the liftgate cannot
be raised any more from its slightly raised
position. Press the electric liftgate opener
again to fully open the liftgate. To close the

open it first by pressing the electric liftgate
opener, and waiting for 1 second or longer
then close it.

if the liftgate is not fully closed.
lThe sound of the latch may be heard for a
few seconds after the electric liftgate
opener has been pressed, however, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Closing the liftgate
To close, lower the liftgate slowly using
the liftgate grip recess, and then push the
liftgate closed using both hands.

Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' operation
if the system has been modified or if any
add-on equipment has been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your vehicle, do
not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems or
the vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the engine
to start only with a key the system
recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent the
theft of your vehicle.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
ØRadio equipment like this is
governed by laws.
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
ØTo avoid damage to the key, do
not:
ØDrop the key.
ØGet the key wet.
ØExpose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
ØExpose the key to high
temperatures on places such as
the dashboard or hood, under
direct sunlight.
ØIf the engine does not start with
the correct key, and the security
indicator light keeps illuminating
or flashing, the system may have
a malfunction. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTElThe keys carry a unique electronic code.
For this reason, and to assure your safety,
obtaining a replacement key requires some
waiting time. They are only available
through an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
lAlways keep a spare key in case one is lost.
If a key is lost, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
lIf you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda
Dealer will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has not
been reset is not possible.
qOperation
NOTElThe engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or flash if the
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
compartment. Move the key to a location
within the signal range, switch the ignition
off, and then restart the engine.
lSignals from a TV or radio station, or from
a transceiver or mobile telephone could
interfere with your immobilizer system. If
you are using the proper key and the engine
fails to start, check the security indicator
light.
Arming
The system is armed when the push
button start is pressed from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-15.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition
is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
flashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after 3 or more tries, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
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.
lBecause the electronic codes are reset when
the immobilizer system is repaired, the keys
are needed. Make sure to bring all the keys
to an Authorized Mazda Dealer so that they
can be programmed.
