WA R N I N G
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed. Children
may find 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.
CAUTION
Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may not
function correctly under the following
conditions:
 The key is carried with communication
devices such as cellular phones.
 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.

CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst inside the
converter or cause the converter to get very ho t. Either condition will damage the converter
and cause poor performance.
 Do not drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
 Do not coast with the ignition switched
off.
 Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
 Do not operate the engine at hi gh idle for more than 2 minutes.
 Do not tamper with the emission control syst em. All inspections and adjustments must be
made by a qualified technician.
 Do not push-start or pull-start this vehicle.
▼ Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WA R N I N G
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colourless, odourless, and poisonous. When i
nhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness and
death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehi cle, keep all windows fully open and contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an Au thorised Mazda Repairer immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust gas,
which contains poisonous carbon monoxide , could easily enter the cabin. Loss of
consciousness or even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw fresh air when idling the
engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and the
engine running for a long time even in an op en area, exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe, before
starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehi cle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust pipe
could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to
occupants in the cabin.

Theft-Deterrent System*
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry in to the vehicle or the
intrusion sensor detects movement in the
vehicle which could result in the vehicle
(with the intrusion sensor) or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren/horn and flashing the
hazard warning lights.

The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
*
The intrusion s ensor uses ultrasonic waves
to detect movement inside the vehicle and
to raise an alert of an intrusion into the
vehicle.

The intrusion s ensor detects certain kinds
of movement inside the vehicle, however,
it may also respond to phenomenon
outside the vehicle such as vibrations, loud
noise, wind, and air currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to operate
appropriately, be aware of the following:
 Do not hang clothing or objects from a
head restraint or a coat hook.
 Return the extension sunvisors to their
original positions.
 Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
 Do not allow the intrusion sensor to get
soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
Do not shock or cause an impact to the
intrusion sensor or the intrusion sensor
bezel.
 Do not install seats that are not Mazda
genuine products.
 To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are higher
than the head restraints.
