Starting the Engine
WA R N I N G
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who use
medical devices, ask the medical device
manufacturer or your physician if radio
waves from the key w ill affect the device.
NOTE
•The key must be carried because the key
carries an immobilizer chip that must
communicate with the engine controls at
short range.
•The engine can be started when the push
button start is pressed from off, ACC, or
ON.
•The push button start system functions
(function which can start the engine by
only carrying the key) can be
deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a
pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be
unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer for details. If the push button
start system functions have been
deactivated, you can start the engine by
following the procedure indicated when
