NOTE l Theft-Deterrent System í The optional theft-deterrent system is designed to prevent your vehicle or its contents from being stolen when all the doors, hood, and liftgate are locked. If forcible entry is attempted, the system sounds the horn and flashes the hazard warning lights. NOTE l The keys carry a unique electronic code. For this reason, and to assure your safety, obtaining replacement key requires some waiting time. They are only available through an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Always keep a spare key, in case one is lost. If a key is lost, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. If you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda Dealer will reset the electronic codes of your remaining keys and immobilizer system. Bring all the remaining keys to an Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset. Starting the vehicle with a key that has not been reset is not possible. l The theft-deterrent system operates with the key or the keyless entry system transmitter. The system will not function unless it is properly armed. To properly secure the vehicle, always make sure all the windows are completely closed and all doors and the liftgate are locked before leaving the vehicle. Make sure the security indicator light is flashing. Remember to take your key and transmitter. l l qModification and Add-On Equipment Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer system's operation if the system has been modified or if any add-on equipment has been installed to it. qOperation System triggering conditions The horn sounds intermittently and the hazard warning lights flash for about 3 minutes when the system is triggered by any one of the following: l CAUTION To avoid damage to your vehicle, do not modify the system or install any add-on equipment to it.
