Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' 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 and the
theft-deterrent systems or the vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the engine
to start only with a key the system
recognises.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognised key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent
vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
CAUTION
¾Changes or modications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
¾To avoid damage to the key, do not:
¾Drop the key.
¾Get the key wet.
¾Expose the key to any kind of magnetic
eld.
¾Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the instrument panel
or bonnet, under direct sunlight.
¾If the engine does not start with the
correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or ashing, the
system may have a malfunction. Consult
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
