▼ Power Liftgate*
The power liftgate opens/closes
electrically by operating the switches in

tons on the keyless
entry system transmitter.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it
opens or closes, and make sure that it
closes completely:
Opening or closing the power liftgate while
not watching it move is dangerous.
Because of unseen obstacles and the
jam-safe feature, a liftgate may not close
completely and, if left unnoticed, could
result in serious injury or death if an
occupant were to fall out of the vehicle.
Always be sure that the area around the
liftgate is clear be fore activating it.
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before operating
it electrically.
Not checking the area around the liftgate
for people before operating it using the
power liftgate switch or the button on the
keyless entry system is dangerous. A person
could become caught between the liftgate
and an obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious injury.

Never allow children to operate the power
liftgate system:
Allowing children to operate the power
liftgate switch and the keyless entry system
is dangerous. Children are not aware of the
dangers of people getting fingers and
hands caught in a moving liftgate. If
someone's neck, head or hands get caught
in a closing door, it could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
 When closing the power liftgate, make
sure there are no foreign objects around
the striker. If foreign objects are
obstructing the striker, the liftgate may
not close properly.
Striker
Do not install accessories to the power
liftgate other than specified accessories.
Otherwise, it cannot be opened/closed
automatically and could result in a
malfunction.

liftgate from electrical to manual
operation. The power liftgate may open/
close unexpectedly depending on its
position which could result in injury.
NOTE
•Do not apply unnecessary force to the
power liftgate when it is opening/closing
electrically. Unnecessary force on the
liftgate may cause it to reverse direction
of movement automatically. Also, it
could result in a malfunction.
•The power liftgate may not open/close
electrically if the vehicle is parked on an
incline, or there is strong wind, or the
liftgate is laden with snow.

automatically after the battery is
reconnected. If this happens, fully close
the liftgate manually to restore the auto
full open/close function.
•If the system detects weight such as that
caused by a snow-laden liftgate when it
is opened electrically, after the beep
activates three times, the liftgate stops
after reversing.
•If the power liftgate is snow-laden,
remove the snow before operating the
liftgate.

Modification and Add-OnEquipment
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 the 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 syste m allows the engine
to start only with a key the system
recognises.

If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognised key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent
vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
 Changes or
modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
 To avoid damage to the key, do not:
 Drop the key.
 Get the key wet.
 Expose the key to any kind of magnetic
field.
 Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the instrument panel
or bonnet, under direct sunlight.
 If 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 Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 flash if
the key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel
or in the glove comp
artment. 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 indica tor light in the
instrument cluster flashes 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
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 d oes not start after 3
or more tries, contact an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
•If the security indicator light flashes
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 flashing, 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.

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.

Intrusion sensor and
intrusion sensor bezel

or 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

battery is charged or replaced.
▼ How to Arm the System
1. Close the windows and the sunroof*
securely.
NOTE
(With the intrusion sensor)
Even with a window or the sunroof
*
open, the system can be armed,
however, leaving the windows and the
sunroof
* even partially open can invite
theft, and wind blowing into the
vehicle could trigger the alarm.
The intrusion sensor function can also
be cancelled.

5. After 20 seconds, the system is fully armed.
NOTE
•The theft-deterrent system can also
be armed by activating the auto
relock function with all the doors,
the liftgate and the bonnet closed.
Refer to Transmitter on page 3-4.
•The system will disarm if one of the
following operations takes place
within 20 seconds after pressing the
