Knowing Your Mazda Security System NOTE l l l l The engine may not start and the security indicator light may illuminate or flash if the advanced key is placed in an area where it is difficult for the system to detect the signal, such as on the dashboard, or in the glove box. Move the advanced key to another place, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, and then restart the engine. Signals from a TV or radio station, or from a transceiver or a mobile telephone could interfere with your immobilizer system. If you are using the proper advanced key and the engine fails to start, check the security indicator light. If the indicator light is flashing, turn the ignition switch to the ACC or LOCK position and wait for a while, then restart the engine. If it does not start after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the security indicator light flashes continuously while you are driving, do not shut off the engine. Go to an Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it checked. If the engine is shut off while the indicator light is flashing, you will not be able to restart it. Since the electronic codes are reset when repairing the immobilizer system, the advanced key (including auxiliary key) are needed. Bring all the advanced keys (including auxiliary keys) to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. 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. CAUTION To avoid damage to your vehicle, do not modify the system or install any add-on equipment to the immobilizer system or the vehicle. 3-52
