Operating the power folding outside
mirror while the vehicle is moving is

The ignition must be switched to ACC
or ON position.
To fold the mirrors, press the outside
mirror folding switch.
To return the mirrors to their on-road

Modification and
Add-On Equipment
▼Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the
immobilizer and the theft-deterrent
systems' operation if the system has
been modified or if any add-on
equipment has been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not
modify the system or install any add-on
equipment to the immobilizer and the
theft-deterrent systems or the vehicle.
Immobilizer System
▼Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key the
system recognises.
If someone attempts to start the
engine with an unrecognised key, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
CAUTION
¾Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
¾To avoid damage to the key, do not:
¾Drop the key.
¾Get the key wet.
¾Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
¾Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
¾If the engine does not start with the
correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or flashing,
the system may have a malfunction.
Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
