Maintenance
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
•
If the warning light comes on and
stays on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, the
engine will not start.
•
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 key and your engine fails
to start, check the warning light. If it
is flashing, remove the ignition key
and wait 2 seconds or more, then
reinsert it and try starting the engine
again. If it doesn’t start after 3 or
more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
•
If the warning light flashes
continuously while you are driving,
don’t shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have
it checked. If you shut off the
engine while the light is flashing
you won’t be able to restart it.
•
To avoid damage to the key, do not:
• Drop the key.
• Get the key wet.
• Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
• Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as
the dashboard or hood, under
direct sunlight.
•
When starting the engine, do not let
the following materials touch or
come near the key grip. The engine
may not start:
• Spare keys.
• Keys for other vehicles equipped
with an immobilizer system.
• Metal objects that touch or pass
through the hole in the key.
• Devices for electronic purchases,
and security passage.
