Keyless Entry System

Keyless Entry System

This system uses the key buttons to remotely lock and unlock the doors and the liftgate/boot lid, and opens the boot lid.

The system can start the engine without having to take the key out of your purse or pocket.

Operating the theft-deterrent system is also possible on theft-deterrent system-equipped vehicles.

 

System malfunctions or warnings are indicated by the following warning lights or beeps.

For vehicles with the type A/type B instrument cluster, check the displayed message for more information and, if necessary, have the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer, according to the indication.

  • KEY Warning Light (Red)

    Refer to Contact Authorised Mazda Repairer and Have Vehicle Inspected (Search).

    Refer to Taking Action (Search).

  • Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP) Warning Beep

    Refer to Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP) Warning Beep (Search).

  • Key Removed from Vehicle Warning Beep

  • The keyless entry system operation may vary due to local conditions.

  • The keyless entry system is fully operational (door/liftgate/boot lid lock/unlock) when the ignition is switched off. The system does not operate if the ignition is switched to any position other than off.

  • If the key does not operate when pressing a button or the operational range becomes too small, the battery may be weak. To install a new battery, refer to Key Battery Replacement (Search).

  • Battery life is about 1 year. Replace the battery with a new one if the KEY indicator light (green) flashes in the instrument cluster (for vehicles with a type A/type B instrument cluster ((Search), (Search)), messages are displayed in the instrument cluster). Replacing the battery about once a year is recommended because the KEY warning light/indicator light may not illuminate or flash depending on the rate of battery depletion.

  • Additional keys can be obtained at an Authorised Mazda Repairer. Up to 6 keys can be used with the keyless functions per vehicle. Bring all keys to an Authorised Mazda Repairer when additional keys are required.
