Security System
NOTE
  The 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
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible.
  If you lose a key, an Authorised
Mazda Repairer will reset the
electronic codes of your remaining
keys and immobilizer system.
Bring all the remaining keys to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to reset.
 Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.
Operation
NOTE
  The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or
fl ash if the key is placed in an area
where it is diffi cult for the system
to detect the signal, such as on the
instrument panel or in the glove
compartment. Move the key to a
location within the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
  Signals 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 ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster fl ashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.
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
fl ashing, 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 Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
  If the security indicator light fl ashes
continuously while you are driving,
do not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer and have
it checked. If the engine is shut off
while the indicator light is fl ashing,
you will not be able to restart it.
  Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system
is repaired, the keys are needed.
Make sure to bring all the keys to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer so that
they can be programmed.

Operation
Siren triggering conditions
The siren/horn sounds intermittently and
the hazard warning lights fl ash for about
30 seconds when the system is triggered
by any one of the following:
 


 Unlocking a door with an inside door-
lock knob.
 


 Forcing open a door, the bonnet or the
liftgate.
 


 Opening the bonnet by operating the
bonnet release handle.
 


 Switching the ignition ON without using
the push button start.
 


(With the intrusion sensor)
 The intrusion sensor detects a movement
in the vehicle.
The system will be triggered again (up to
10 times) if one of the above conditions
remains.
 


(With the intrusion sensor)
 Disconnecting the battery terminal (the
hazard warning lights do not fl ash).
The system will be triggered about 10
times.
NOTE
  The liftgate does not open while the
theft-deterrent system is operating.
  If the battery goes dead while the
theft-deterrent system is armed, the
siren will activate and the hazard
warning lights will fl ash when the
battery is charged or replaced.
How to Arm the System
1. Close the windows securely.
NOTE
(With the intrusion sensor)
Even with a window open, the system
can be armed, however, leaving the
windows even partially open can invite
theft, and wind blowing into the vehicle
could trigger the alarm.
The intrusion sensor function can also
be cancelled.
Refer to Cancelling the Intrusion/Tilt
Sensor on page 3-44 .
2. Switch the ignition OFF.
3. Make sure the bonnet, the doors, and
the liftgate are closed.
4. Press the lock button on the transmitter
or lock the driver's door from the
outside with the auxiliary key.
The hazard warning lights will fl ash
once.
(With the advanced keyless function)
Press a request switch.
The security indicator light in the
instrument panel fl ashes twice per
second for 20 seconds.
5. After 20 seconds, the system is fully
armed.

NOTE
When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.
Full

Empty
If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-36 .
NOTE
  After refuelling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
  The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
  The direction of the arrow ()
indicates that the fuel-fi ller fl ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Instrument panel Illumination
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON,
the brightness of the instrument panel
illumination is dimmed.
NOTE
When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-58 .

dimmer
The illumination dimmer can be
cancelled by rotating the instrument panel
illumination knob to the right until a beep
sound is heard while the instrument cluster
is dimmed with the ignition switched
ON. If the instrument cluster's visibility
is reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
NOTE
  When the illumination dimmer is
cancelled, the instrument cluster
cannot be dimmed even if the
position lights are turned on.
  When the illumination dimmer is
cancelled, the screen in the centre
display switches to constant display
of the daytime screen.
Outside Temperature Display *
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and
vehicle conditions:

NOTE
  If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the
gear position indication will fl ash
twice to signal that the gears cannot
be shifted down (to protect the
transaxle).
  If the automatic transaxle fl uid
(ATF) temperature becomes too
high, there is the possibility that the
transaxle will switch to automatic
shift mode, cancelling manual
shift mode and turning off the gear
position indication illumination.
This is a normal function to protect
the AT. After the ATF temperature
has decreased, the gear position
indication illumination turns back on
and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.
