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

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.
 


 


 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:
 
