WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not ¿ nd or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the

someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may ¿ nd these keys
to be an interesting toy to play with
and could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even make
the vehicle move.

 The key contacts or is covered by a
metal object.
 


 The key is near electronic devices
such as personal computers.
 


 Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
vehicle.
 


 There is equipment which
discharges radio waves near the
vehicle.
 
 The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it
receives high-intensity radio waves.
Do not place the key near electronic
devices such as televisions or
personal computers.
  To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
 


 Drop the key.



 Get the key wet.



 Disassemble the key.



 Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
