Power Liftgate *
The power liftgate opens/closes
electrically by operating the switches in
the vehicle or the buttons on the keyless
entry system transmitter.
WARNING
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 before activating it.

Always confi rm 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
fi ngers 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.

Modifi cation and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' operation
if the system has been modi fi ed 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 system allows the
engine to start only with a key the system
recognizes.

If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
 Radio equipment like this is governed by laws in the United States.
 Changes or modifi cations 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 fi eld.
 Expose the key to high temperatures on places such as the dashboard or
hood, under direct sunlight.
 If the engine does not start with the correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or fl ashing, the
system may have a malfunction. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Security System
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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
  Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
  If you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda
Dealer will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer 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 fl ash
if the key is placed in an area where it
is diffi cult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in
the glove compartment. 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 indicator light in the
instrument cluster fl ashes 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
fl ashing, 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 does not start after
3 or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
   If the security indicator light fl ashes
continuously while you are driving,
do not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is fl ashing, 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer so that they
can be programmed.
