NOTE
  When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal
position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
  (Power Seat)  The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation
because excessive use can damage the motors.
  To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the
engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
  Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

CAUTION
Do not use organic solvents to clean
the seat. It may damage the seat
surface and the heater.

NOTE
  If the ignition is switched off while the
seat warmer is operating (High, Mid or
Low) and then switched ON again, the
seat warmer will automatically operate
at the temperature set before switching
off the ignition.
  Use the seat warmer when the engine
is running. Leaving the seat warmer
on for long periods with the engine not
running could cause the battery power
to be depleted.
  The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is
controlled by a thermostat.

Driving Position Memory *
The desired driving position can be called
up after programming the position.
The following driving positions can be
programmed.
  Driver’s seat position (seat slide, height
adjustment, front edge of seat bottom,

WARNING
Be careful when using the seat warmer: The heat from the seat warmer may be
too hot for some people, as indicated
as follows, and could cause a low-
temperature burn.
 Infants, small children, elderly people, and physically challenged
people
 People with delicate skin People who are excessively fatigued People who are intoxicated People who have taken sleep-inducing medicine such as sleeping
pills or cold medicine

Do not use the seat warmer with
anything having high moisture-
retention ability such as a blanket or
cushion on the seat: The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not use the seat warmer even when
taking a short nap in the vehicle: The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not place heavy objects with sharp
projections on the seat, or insert
needles or pins into it: This could cause the seat to become
excessively heated and result in injury
from a minor burn.

CAUTION
 Before folding a rear seatback, make sure that the rear seat warmer switch is
off . If a rear seatback is folded while the
rear seat warmer is in operation, it may
heat the seat excessively and damage
the seat surface.
 Do not use organic solvents to clean the seat. It may damage the seat surface
and the heater.

NOTE
   Use the seat warmer when the engine
is running. Leaving the seat warmer
on for long periods with the engine not
running could cause the battery power
to be depleted.
  When the engine is stopped while
the seat warmers are operating and
then the ignition is switched ON, the
seat warmers will not turn back on
automatically. In addition, the seat
warmer operation stops automatically
after the seat warmers have operated
for about 90 minutes.
 To turn the seat warmer back on, press the switch.
  The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is
controlled by a thermostat.

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not fi nd 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 fi nd 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 dashboard or
hood, under direct sunlight.
 Expose the key to any kind of magnetic fi eld.
 Place heavy objects on the key. Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner. Put any magnetized objects close to the key.

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
6-36 ).
  Battery life is about one year. Replace
the battery with a new one if the KEY
indicator light (green) fl ashes in the
instrument cluster (for vehicles with
a type A instrument cluster (page
4-32 ), 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 fl ash depending on the rate of battery
depletion.

  Additional keys can be obtained at
an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to
6 keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys
