Theft-Deterrent System*
▼Theft-Deterrent System
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle or
the intrusion sensor detects movement
in the vehicle which could result in the
vehicle (with the intrusion sensor) or
its contents being stolen, the alarm
alerts the surrounding area of an
abnormality by sounding the siren/
horn and flashing the hazard warning
lights.
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
*
The intrusion sensor uses ultrasonic
waves to detect movement inside the
vehicle and to raise an alert of an
intrusion into the vehicle.
The intrusion sensor detects certain
kinds of movement inside the vehicle,
however, it may also respond to
phenomenon outside the vehicle such
as vibrations, loud noise, wind, and air
currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to
operate appropriately, be aware of the
following:
¾Do not hang clothing or objects from
a head restraint or a coat hook.
¾Return the extension sunvisors to
their original positions.
¾Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
¾Do not allow the intrusion sensor to
get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
¾Do not shock or cause an impact to
the intrusion sensor or the intrusion
sensor bezel.
¾Do not install seats that are not
Mazda genuine products.
¾To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are
higher than the head restraints.
