Knowing Your Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System NOTE l l When turning the ignition switch to the LOCK position, the ignition switch has to be pushed in from the ACC position and turned. Without being pushed in, the ignition switch stops at the ACC position and the vehicle battery may be discharged if the ignition switch is left in the ACC position. When leaving the vehicle, make sure the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. If the vehicle is left with the ignition switch not in the LOCK position, a beep sound is heard and the indicator light flashes to notify the driver. Refer to Warning Beep (page 3-17). Operation Using Advanced Key Functions qKeyless Entry System This system uses the more traditional keyless entry buttons to remotely lock and unlock the doors and the liftgate, and opens the power windows and the moonroof. It can also help you signal for attention. Press the buttons slowly and carefully. NOTE l l l l l 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 due to local conditions. The system does not operate when the auxiliary key is in the ignition switch. With the start knob installed in the LOCK position, the system is fully operational. If the ignition switch is not in the LOCK position or the start knob is pushed in, the system does not operate. All doors and the liftgate cannot be locked by pressing the lock button while any door or the liftgate is open. The hazard warning lights will also not flash. If the transmitter does not operate when pressing a button or the operational range becomes too small, the battery may be dead. To install a new battery, refer to Maintenance (page 3-5). 3-13
