Locks and Security Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the 2 (ACC) position. The light in the instrument cluster will flash every two seconds when the vehicle is armed. Automatic disarming Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a coded key disarms the vehicle. • The indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. • If the indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your authorized Mazda dealer. Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don't have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys and key codes will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized Mazda dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys. WARNING: If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a "no start" condition. 76
