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.

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.

  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
