Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' operation
if the system have been modified or if any
add-on equipment has been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your 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 syst em 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 the
theft of your vehicle.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
l
Changes or modifications not
expressly approve d by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
l
To avoid damage to the key, do not:
l
Drop the key.
l
Get the key wet.
l
Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
l
Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
l
If the engine does not start with the
correct key, and the security
indicator light keeps illuminating or
flashing, the system may have a
malfunction. Consult an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
