Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
NOTE
xThe keyless entry system operation may
vary due to local conditions.
xThe keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/liftgate/boot lid lock/
unlock) when the ignition is switched
off. The system does not operate if the
ignition is switched to any position other
than off.
xIf 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
6-47).
xBattery life is about 1 year. Replace the
battery with a new one if the KEY
indicator light (green) flashes in the
instrument cluster (for vehicles with a
type A/type B instrument cluster (page
4-23, 4-44), 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 flash depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
xAdditional keys can be obtained at an
Authorised Mazda Repairer. Up to 6
keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys to
an Authorised Mazda Repairer when
additional keys are required.

If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) flashes, this
could indicate a problem with the
engine starting system. This may
prevent the engine from starting or
from switching the ignition to ACC or
ON (for vehicles with a type A/type B
instrument cluster (page 7-45),
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster). Have your vehicle
inspected at an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
NOTE
xUnder the following conditions, the
KEY warning light (red) flashes after
the push button start is pressed. This
informs the driver that the push
button start will not switch to ACC,
even if it is pressed from off (for
vehicles with a type A/type B
instrument cluster (page 7-45),
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster).
xThe key battery is dead.
xThe key is out of operational
range.
xThe key is placed in areas where it
is difficult for the system to detect
the signal (page 3-6).
xA key from another manufacturer
similar to the key is in the
operational range.
x(Forced engine starting method)
If the KEY warning light (red)
illuminates, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) flashes, this
could indicate that the engine may
not start using the usual starting
method (for vehicles with a type A/
type B instrument cluster (page 7-
45), messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster). Have your
vehicle inspected at an expert
repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible. If this occurs, the engine
can be force-started. Press and hold
the push button start until the engine
starts. Other procedures necessary
for starting the engine, such as
having the key in the cabin, and
depressing the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle) or the brake pedal
(automatic transaxle) are required.
xWhen the engine is force-started, the
KEY warning light (red) (if
equipped)remains illuminated and
the push button start indicator light
(amber) remains flashing.
x(Automatic transaxle)
When the selector lever is in the
neutral (N) position, the KEY
indicator light (green) (if
equipped)and the push button start
indicator light (green) do not
illuminate.

NOTE
xEven though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refuelling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.
xThe display may not change unless you
add more than approximately 9 L (2.3
US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
xThe distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
(indicating the remaining fuel supply)
disappear.
xIf there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the battery
leads are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from
the amount indicated.
