It can also help you signal for attention in an emergency. Press the button slowly and accurately. NOTE • The keyless entry system is designed to operate up to about 2.5 m (8 ft) from the center of the vehicle, but this may vary because of local conditions. • The system doesn't operate when the key is in the ignition switch. • Doors cannot be locked by pressing the LOCK button while any other door is open. The hazard warning lights will also not flash. • If the transmitter does not operate when pressing a button or the operation range becomes too small, the battery may be dead. To install a new battery, refer to Maintenance (page 3-5). • Additional transmitters can be obtained at an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to 3 transmitters can be used with the keyless entry system per vehicle. Bring all transmitters to an Authorized Mazda Dealer when the electronic codes need to be reset. CAUTION To avoid damage to the transmitter, do not: • Drop it. • Get it wet. • Disassemble it. • Expose it to heat or sunlight. 3-3 Form No. 8R65-EA-03C
