Keyless Entry System
▼Keyless Entry System
This system uses the key buttons to
remotely lock and unlock the doors,
liftgate, and fuel-filler lid, and opens/
closes the liftgate.
The system can start the engine
without having to take the key out of
your purse or pocket.
It can also help you signal for attention
or help.
Operating the theft-deterrent system is
also possible on theft-deterrent
system-equipped vehicles.

System malfunctions or warnings are
indicated by the following warning
lights or beeps.
Check the displayed message for more
information and, if necessary, have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer, according to the
indication.

operational when the ignition is
switched off. The system does not
operate if the ignition is switched to
any position other than off.
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 6-29).
Battery life is about 1 year. Replace
the battery with a new one if the
messages are displayed in the
instrument cluster. Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the KEY

depending on the rate of battery
depletion.

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.

▼Emission Control System
This vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system (the catalytic
converter is part of this system) that
enables the vehicle to comply with
existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WARNING
Never park over or near anything
flammable:
Parking over or near anything
flammable, such as dry grass, is
dangerous. Even with the engine
turned off, the exhaust system remains
very hot after normal use and could
ignite anything
flammable. A resulting
fire could cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions
could cause lead to accumulate on the
catalyst inside the converter or cause
the converter to get very hot. Either
condition will dama ge the converter
and cause poor performance.
 USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
 Do not drive your Mazda with any
sign of engine malfunction.
 Do not coast with the ignition
switched off.
 Do not descend steep grades in gear
with the ignition switched off.
 Do not operate the engine at high
idle for more than 2 minutes.
 Do not tamper with the emission
control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician.
 Do not push-start or pull-start this
vehicle.
NOTE
Under U.S. federal law, any
modification to the
original-equipment emission control
system before the first sale and
registration of a vehicle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used vehicle
is also subject to penalties.
While the engine is off, the sound of
a valve opening and closing can be
heard at the rear of the vehicle,
however this does not indicate an
abnormality. The vehicle has a
self-checking device and it operates
while the engine is off.
▼ Engine Exhaust (Carbon
monoxide)
WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This
gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
which is colorless, odorless, and
poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause
loss of consciousness and death. If you
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle,
keep all windows fully open and
contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which
contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or
even death could occur.

Rocking the Vehicle
▼Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at more than
56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow
anyone to stand behind a wheel when
pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tire could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause
transmission failure, and tire damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from snow, sand or mud, depress the
accelerator slightly and slowly move
the shift lever/selector lever from 1 (D)
to R position.
Winter Driving
▼ Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper,
flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-19.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
6-17).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze ―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 6-21).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
