fication and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the
immobilizer system's 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 system
or the vehicle.
Immobilizer System
▼ Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the EV
system to start only with a key the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the EV
system with an unrecognized key, the
EV system will not start, thereby
helping to prevent vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Radio equipment like this is
governed by laws in the United
States.
Changes or modi fications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
To avoid damage to the key, do not:
Drop the key.
Get the key wet.
Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
dashboard, under direct sunlight.
If the EV system does not start with
the correct key, and the security
indicator light keeps illuminating or
fl ashing, the system may have a
malfunction. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

NOTE
The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, obtaining a replacement
key requires security validation, this
will add some delays in supplying a
replacement key. They are only
available through an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
If you lose a key, an Authorized
Mazda Dealer will reset the
electronic codes of your remaining
keys and immobilizer system. Bring
all the remaining keys to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.
▼Operation
NOTE
The EV system may not start and
security indicator light may illuminate
or
flash if the key is placed in an area
where it is di fficult for the system to
detect the signal, such as on the
dashboard or in the glove
compartment. Move the key to a
location within the signal range,
switch the power switch o ff, and
then restart the EV system.
Signals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile
telephone could interfere with your
immobilizer system. If you are using
the proper key and the EV system
fails to start, check the security
indicator light.
Arming
The system is armed when the power
switch is switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes every 2
seconds until the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
power switch is switched ON with the
correct programmed key. The security
indicator light illu minates for about 3
seconds and then turns off.
If the EV system does not start with the
correct key, and the security indicator
light remains illuminated or flashing ,
try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal
transmission. Switch the power switch
o ff, and then restart the EV system. If
the EV system does not start after 3 or
more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

NOTE
When the high voltage battery
temperature is high or low, the output
may be restricted to protect the EV
system.
▼High Voltage Battery Power Gauge
The remaining power of the high
voltage battery is indicated when the
power switch is switched ON.
When the high voltage battery is fully
charged, F is indicated. As the level
lowers, the needle approaches E.
When the high voltage battery charge
decreases to 1/4 or lower, we
recommend charging the battery.
1. F (Fully charged)
2. 1/4 charged
3. E (Fully discharged)
When the remaining charge of the high
voltage battery is low, output may be
restricted. If the output is restricted,
charge the battery as soon as possible.
NOTE
After charging, it may require some
time for the needle to stabilize.
The arrow indicates that the
charging port is on the right side.
▼ Dashboard Illumination
When the lights are turned on with the
power switch switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard
illumination is dimmed. However,
when the light sensor detects that the
surrounding area is bright such as
when the lights are turned on in the
daytime, the dashboard illumination
does not dim.
NOTE
When the power switch is switched
ON in the early evening or at dusk,
the dashboard illumination is
dimmed for several seconds until the
light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area, however, the
dimming may cancel after the
brightness is detected.
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-35.
The brightness of the instrument panel
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by pressing the dashboard
illumination switch while the
dashboard illumination is dimmed.
The brightness increases by pressing
the + switch.
The brightness decreases by pressing
the - switch. If you press the - switch
while the instrument cluster is at
maximum dimness, a sound is
activated to notify you that the

CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Do not hit or apply strong force to
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or the area around it. If the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) is severely hit
or if there are cracks or damage
caused by flying gravel or debris in
the area around it, stop using the
following systems and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
installed to the windshield. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
windshield repair and replacement.
Do not remove the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) cover.
Be careful not to scratch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow
it to get dirty.
The direction in which the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has
been finely adjusted. Do not change
the installation position of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or
remove it. Otherwise, it could result
in damage or malfunction.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
regarding cleaning of the camera
lens.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard which refl ect light.
Do not apply accessories, stickers or
fi lm to the windshield near the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is
obstructed, it will cause the system
to not operate correctly.
Consequently, each system may not
operate normally which could lead
to an unexpected accident.
Always keep the windshield glass
around the camera clean by
removing dirt or fogging. Use the
windshield defroster to remove
fogging on the windshield.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windshield and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the
windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able
to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
road ahead.
When cleaning the windshield, do
not allow glass cleaners or similar
cleaning fluids to get on the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In
addition, do not touch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
regarding cleaning the interior side of
the windshield around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
If there are recognizable cracks or
damage caused by flying gravel or
debris on the windshield, always
have the windshield replaced.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for replacement.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
