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.

WARNING
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.

xThe key must be carried because the
key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
xThe engine can be started when the
push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
xThe 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

recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) for details. If the push
