Locks and Security WARNING: If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a "no start" condition. Programming spare keys A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only SecuriLock keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle's engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure. If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must bring your vehicle to your authorized Mazda dealership to have the spare coded key(s) programmed. NOTE: Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin. NOTE: This procedure must be completed within the specified times. If not completed within the specified time period, the reprogramming procedure must be restarted from the beginning. 1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (ON) for at least one second). 2. Turn ignition to 1 (LOCK) and remove the first coded key from the ignition. 3. Within ten seconds of turning the ignition to 2 (ACC), insert the second previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (ON) for at least one second but no more than ten seconds). 4. Turn the ignition to 1 (LOCK) and remove the second coded key from the ignition. 5. Within 20 seconds of turning the ignition to 2 (ACC), insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (ON) for at least one second). This step will program your new key to a coded key. 84
