2019 MAZDA MODEL 6 battery

Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from children:
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous. Children who find
their way into the trunk through an unlocked rear seatback or an open trunk can become
accidentally locked in the trunk. This could result in death or brain damage from heat
prostration, particularly in the summer. Always lock the doors and the trunk, and as an added
measure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your home or not.
CAUTION
 When operating a seat, be careful not to put yo ur hands or fingers near the moving parts of
the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
 When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo
gets caught it could damage the cargo.
 (Manual Seat)
When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its
upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If
the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury.
 When inserting your hand under the seat to clean the cabin or pick up something you
dropped under the seat, be careful not to hurt yourself. If you contact the moving parts of
the seat rail or seat frame, it could result in injury.
NOTE
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal
position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
(Power Seat)
The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation
because excessive use can damage the motors.
To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the
engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

CAUTION
(Rear)
Before folding a rear seatback, make sure
that the rear seat warmer switch is
off. If
a rear seatback is folded while the rear
seat warmer is in operation, it may heat
the seat excessively and damage the seat
surface.
 Do not use organic solvents to clean the
seat. It may damage the seat surface and
the heater.
NOTE
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.
(Rear)
When the engine is stopped while the
seat warmers are operating and then the
ignition is switched ON, the seat
warmers will not turn back on
automatically. In addition, the seat
warmer operation stops automatically
after the seat warmers have operated for
about 90 minutes.
To turn the seat warmers back on, press
the switch.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid

controlled by a thermostat.
Seat Ventilation*
The seat ventilation uses fans installed in
the seats to draw air around the seat
surface and ventilate them. The ignition
must be switched ON.
Press the seat ventilation switch while the
ignition is switched O N to operate the seat
ventilation. The indicator lights turn on to
indicate that the seat ventilation is

WA R N I N G
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find 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 find 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
field.
 Place heavy objects on the key.
 Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner.
 Put any magnetized objects close to
the key.

A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and convenient
place, but not in the vehicle.

If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult

operational (door lock/unlock) when the
ignition is switched off. The system does
not operate if the ignition is switched to

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 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
4-13, 4-30), 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.
Additional keys can be obtained at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to 6 keys
can be used with the keyless functions
per vehicle. Bring all keys to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer when
additional keys are required.
