WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not
find or play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
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.
CAUTION

Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may not
function correctly under the
following conditions:
 The key (transmitter) is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
 The key (transmitter) contacts or is
covered by a metal object.
 The key (transmitter) is near
electronic devices such as personal
computers.
 Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
vehicle.
 There is equipment which
discharges radio waves near the
vehicle.
 The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it
receives high-intensity radio waves.
Do not place the key (transmitter)
near electronic devices such as
televisions or personal computers.
To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
 Drop the key (transmitter).
 Get the key (transmitter) wet.
 Disassemble the key (transmitter).
 Expose the key (transmitter) to
high temperatures on places such
as the dashboard, under direct
sunlight.
 Expose the key (transmitter) to any
kind of magnetic field.
 Place heavy objects on the key
(transmitter).
 Put the key (transmitter) in an
ultrasonic cleaner.
 Put any magnetized objects close
to the key (transmitter).

NOTE
The driver must carry the key
(transmitter) to ensure the system
functions properly.
If the key (transmitter) does not
function normally, make sure that the
power saving function of the key
(transmitter) is not on. If it is on,
switch the function to off.
Refer to Transmitter on page 3-5.

ON
This is the normal running position
after the engine is started. The
indicator light (amber) turns off. (The
indicator light (amber) illuminates
when the ignition is switched ON and
the engine is not running.)
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on
page 4-29.
Refer to Indication/Indicator Lights on
page 4-31.
NOTE
When the push button start is pressed
to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can
be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.

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.
NOTE
The key must be carried because the
key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
The engine can be started when the
push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
The 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
medical device. If the system is
deactivated, you will be unable to
start the engine by carrying the key.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for details. If the push button start
system functions have been
deactivated, you can start the engine
by following the procedure indicated
when the key battery goes dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When
Key Battery is Dead on page 4-8.

▼Pre-programming the HomeLink
System
NOTE
It is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quic
ker training and
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device
you would like to program.
▼ Programming the HomeLink
System
The HomeLink system provides 3
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Press and release the HomeLink
button you would like to program.
The indicator light flashes slowly in
amber when the button is pressed.
1. Indicator light
2. HomeLink button

2. Hold the hand-held transmitter 2.5 to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the
indicator light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do
the programming by holding it 15
to 20 cm (6 to 7.8 in) away from
the HomeLink button.
3. Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the
indicator light changes from amber
(flashing) to green (on/flashing).
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage
door openers may require you to
replace this Programming Step 3
with procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
4. Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been
completed.
If the indicator light remains on in
green, the programming is
complete and the device
becomes operational.
If the indicator light flashes
rapidly in green, firmly press and
hold the Homelink button and
release it after two seconds have
passed. Repeat this process up to
three times to complete the
programming. The device
becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to
the next step.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to
the motor-head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)

NOTE
Complete the programming within
30 seconds.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the Homelink
button, and then release it after
two seconds have passed. Repeat
the “ press/hold/release ” sequence
a second time, and, depending on
the brand of the garage door
opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this
sequence a third time to complete
the programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the
HomeLink System operates.
8. If the status indicator arrows are flashing , refer to Garage Door
Two-Way Communication.

NOTE
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, go back to Step 1
of Programming the HomeLink System
and repeat the procedure.
For questions or comments, please
contact HomeLink at

HomeLinkGentex , or the HomeLink
toll-free hotline at 1-800-355-3515
(for calls placed outside of the USA,
Canada, and Puerto Rico, international
rates will apply and may differ based
on landline or mobile phone).
▼ Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or
quit) after several seconds of
transmission
― which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate
operators are designed to “time-out”
in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or are having
difficulties programming a gate
operator by using the programming
procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace Step 3 of Programming
the HomeLink System with the
following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
the device during the “cycling” process
to prevent possible overheating.
While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the
hand-held transmitter for 2 seconds
and release it repeatedly until the
indicator light changes from amber to
green.
Go back to Step 4 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
