Knowing Your Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System Starting the engine NOTE l NOTE The starter will not operate if the shift lever is not in P or N. l l Engine-starting is controlled by the spark ignition system. This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise. The advanced key must be carried because the advanced key carries an immobilizer chip that must communicate with the engine controls at short range.
