WARNING
Keys and Children:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. They could play with power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move. Don't leave the
keys in your vehicle with children and
keep them in a place where your
children will not find or play with
them.
NOTE
Refer to Immobilizer System (page
3-24) for information regarding keys
and engine starting on vehicles
equipped with the immobilizer system.
Your Mazda has two kinds of keys.
Valet key
Master key
Key code number plate
Here's what the keys are used for:
Lock Operates Master key Valet key
Ignition switch and
steering column lock
Yes Yes
Driver's door Yes Yes
Glove box Yes No
Storage box Yes No
Trunk lid Yes No
If you must leave your vehicle with
another person, such as a parki ng
attendant, protect items by locking the
glove box, storage box and trunk lid with
the master key. Keep that key and give the
other person only the valet key.
A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key.
Also write down the code number and
keep it in another safe and handy place,
but not in the vehicle.
If your key is lost, consult your
Authorized Mazda Dealer with the code
number ready.
