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

 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

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.

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
