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.

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
NOTE
 


 The key must be carried because the key
carries an immobilizer chip that must
communicate with the engine controls at
short range.
 


 The engine can be started when the
push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
 


 The push button start system functions
(function which can start the engine
by only carrying the key) can be
deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a
pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be
unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for details. If the push button
start system functions have been
deactivated, you can start the engine by
following the procedure indicated when
the key battery goes dead.
  Refer to Engine Start Function When
Key Battery is Dead on page 4-8 .
 


 After starting a cold engine, the engine
speed increases and a whining sound
from the engine compartment can be
heard.
  This is for improved exhaust gas
purifi cation and does not indicate any
parts defect.
 


 Engine-starting is controlled by the
spark ignition system.
  This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment
Standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical fi eld strength of radio
noise.

1. Make sure you are carrying the key.
2. Occupants should fasten their seat
belts.
3. Make sure the parking brake is on. 4. Continue to press the brake pedal
fi rmly until the engine has completely
started.
5. Put the vehicle in park (P). If you must
restart the engine while the vehicle is
moving, shift into neutral (N).
NOTE
The starter will not operate if the selector
lever is not in P or N and the brake pedal
is not depressed suffi ciently.

6. Verify that the KEY indicator light
(green) (if equipped) in the instrument
cluster and the push button start
indicator light (green) illuminate.

When Driving
Switches and Controls
Pre-programming the HomeLink
System
NOTE
It is recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink
for quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
 


 Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
 


 Disconnect the power to the device.
Programming the HomeLink
System
CAUTION
When programming a garage door
opener or a gate, disconnect the power
to these devices before performing
programming. Continuous operation
of the devices could damage the
motor.

The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons
which can be individually selected and
programmed using the transmitters for
current, on-market devices as follows:

1. Disconnect the power to the garage
door opener or gate programmed to the
hand-held transmitter.
2. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 2.5—7.5 cm (1—3 inches)
away from the HomeLink button you
wish to program while keeping the
indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the chosen HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter buttons. Do not release
the buttons until step 3 has been
completed.
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace this
Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian
Programming” section.

4. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
NOTE
If the HomeLink indicator light does not
change to a rapidly blinking light, contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or call
1-800-355-3515 for assistance.

5. Connect the power to the garage door
opener or gate programmed to the
hand-held transmitter.

When Driving
Switches and Controls
Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission
— which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed
to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having
diffi culties programming a gate operator
by using the “Programming” procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
“Programming HomeLink” step 3 with
the following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release
— every two seconds (“cycle”) your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has successfully been accepted by
HomeLink. (The indicator light will fl ash
slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to
complete.
Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device. The
code will continue being transmitted for a
maximum of 20 seconds.
Reprogramming the HomeLink
system
To program a device to HomeLink using
a HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to fl ash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing
the HomeLink button, proceed with
“Programming” - step 1.

Erasing Programmed HomeLink
Buttons
To erase the existing programming from
all three operating channels, press and
hold the two outside buttons (
, ) on
the auto-dimming mirror until the
HomeLink indicator light begins to fl ash
after approximately 10 seconds.
Verify that the programming has been
erased when you resell the vehicle.
