Key Battery Replacement
If the buttons on the transmitter are
inoperable and the operation indicator
light does not flash, the battery may be
dead.
Replace with a new battery before the
transmitter becomes unusable.
CAUTION
Make sure the battery is installed
correctly. Battery leakage could occur if it
is not installed correctly.
When replacing the battery, be careful
not to touch any of the internal circuitry
and electrical terminals, bend the
electrical terminals, or get dirt in the
transmitter as the transmitter could be
damaged.
There is the danger of explosion if the
battery is not correctly replaced.
Dispose of used batteries according to
the following instructions.
Insulate the plus and minus terminals
of the battery using cellophane or
equivalent tape.
Never disassemble.
Never throw the battery into fire or
water.
Never deform or crush.
Replace only with the same type battery
(CR2025 or equivalent).
The following conditions indicate that the
battery power is low:
•The KEY indicator light (green) flashes
in the instrument cluster for about 30
seconds after the engine is turned off
(for vehicles with a type A instrument
cluster (page 4-42), messages are
displayed in the instrument cluster).
•The system does not operate and the
operation indicator light on the
transmitter does not flash when the
buttons are pressed.
•The system's operational range is
reduced.
Replacing the battery at an Authorised
Mazda Repairer is recommended to
prevent damage to the key. If replacing the
battery by yourself, fo llow the instruction.

Ty r e s
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tyre inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different types of
tyres is dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking; leading to loss
of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary
spare tyre, use only the same type tyres
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four
wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-9) is
dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tyre clearance,
and speedometer calibration. This could
cause you to have an accident. Use only
tyres that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tyre Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9.
