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 Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
* Changes or modifications 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 instrument panel or bonnet, under direct
sunlight.
* 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.
