2017 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 battery replacement

Keys
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.
 Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the instrument panel
or bonnet, under direct sunlight.
 Expose the key to any kind of magnetic
field.
 Place heavy objects on the key.
 Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner.
 Put any magnetized objects close to
the key.

A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and convenient
place, but not in the vehicle.

If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult
your Authorised Mazda Repairer and have
your code number ready.
NOTE
The driver must carry the key to ensure the
system functions properly.

CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
NOTE
•The keyless entry system operation may
vary due to local conditions.
•The keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/liftgate lock/unlock)
when the ignition is switched off. The
system does not operate if the ignition is
switched to any position other than off.
•If the key does not operate when
pressing a button or the operational
range becomes too small, the battery
may be weak. To install a new battery,
refer to Key Battery Replacement (page
6-41).
•Battery life is about one year. Replace
the battery with a new one if the KEY
indicator light (green) flashes in the
instrument cluster (for vehicles with a
type A instrument cluster (page 4-42),
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster). Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the KEY warning
light/indicator light may not illuminate
or flash depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
•Additional keys can be obtained at an
Authorised Mazda Repairer. Up to 6
keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys to
an Authorised Mazda Repairer when
additional keys are required.

Turning the Engine Off
WA R N I N G
Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving:
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is
moving for any reason other than in an
emergency is dangerous. Stopping the
engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2.(Manual transaxle)
Shift into neutral and set the parking
brake.
(Automatic transaxle)
Shift the selector lever to the P
position and set the parking brake.
3. Press the push button start to turn off
the engine. The ignition position is off.
CAUTION
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the
push button start is off.
NOTE
•(SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5)
The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C
is on or off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.
•If the system detects that the remaining
battery power of the key is low when the
ignition is switched from ON to ACC or
OFF, the following is indicated.
Replace with a new battery before the
key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on
page 6-41.
(Vehicle equipped with Type A
instrument cluster)
A message is indicated in the display of
the instrument cluster.
(Vehicle equipped with Type B
instrument cluster)
The KEY indicator li ght (green) flashes
for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on
page 4-42.
•(Automatic transaxle)
If the engine is turned off while the
selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.
▼Emergency Engine Stop
Continuously pressing the push button
start or quickly pressing it any number of
times while the engi

Do not use the front bumper to push other vehi cles or obstructions such as when pulling
out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its position
deviated.
 Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).
 For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 Do not modify the suspension. If the suspensi on are modified, the vehicle's posture could
change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle ahead or
an obstruction.
NOTE
•Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions
correctly and each system may not
operate normally.
•The rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not reflect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
•Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.
•Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle
ahead casting off water, snow, or
sand from its tyres and onto your
windscreen.
•The luggage compartment is loaded
with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
•Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
•During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
•When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
•Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
•The beginning and end of a curve.
•Roads with continuous curves.
•Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
•The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
•The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
•Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
•Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
•The distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
•A vehicle suddenly comes close such
as by cutting into the lane.
•To prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tyres of the same specified
size, manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern on all four wheels. In addition,
do not use tyres with significantly
different wear patterns or tyre
pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
•If the battery power is weak, the system
may not operate correctly.

▼Inspecting Electrolyte Level
A low level of electrolyte fluid will cause
the battery to discharge quickly.

Upper level
Lower level
Inspect the electrolyte level at least once a
week. If it is low, re move the caps and add
enough distilled water to bring the level
between the upper and lower level
(illustration).

Do not overfill.
Examine the specific gravity of the
electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially
during cold weather. If it is low, recharge
the battery.
▼ Battery Recharging
NOTE
•Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
•To disconnect the battery, remove the
negative lead first. Install it last when
connecting the battery.
•Be sure to remove the caps before
recharging the battery.
•(With i-stop system)
Do not quick-charge the battery.
•If the battery quickly discharges
because, for example, the lights were
left on too long with the engine off,
slow-charge it as required by battery
size and charger capacity.
•If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it as
required by battery
size and charger
capacity.
