Controls and features Key information Your vehicle is supplied with two coded keys. Only a coded key will start your vehicle. Spare coded keys can be purchased from your authorized Mazda dealership. Your dealership can program your key or you can "do it yourself", refer to Programming spare keys. The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is not compatible with aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. NOTE: Large metallic objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the coded key may cause vehicle starting issues. NOTE: If present, you need to keep these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. NOTE: These objects and devices cannot damage the coded key, but can cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key during engine start. NOTE: If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the encoded ignition key is an approved Mazda encoded ignition key. 62
