Security System

Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system allows the engine to start only with a key the system recognises.

 

If someone attempts to start the engine with an unrecognised key, the engine will not start, thereby helping to prevent vehicle theft.

If you have a problem with the immobilizer system or the key, consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

 


  • Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

  • 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 instrument panel or bonnet, under direct sunlight.

  • If the engine does not start with the correct key, and the security indicator light keeps illuminating or flashing, the system may have a malfunction. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

 


  • The keys carry a unique electronic code. For this reason, and to assure your safety, obtaining a replacement key requires some waiting time. They are only available through an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

  • Always keep a spare key in case one is lost. If a key is lost, consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.

  • If you lose a key, an Authorised Mazda Repairer will reset the electronic codes of your remaining keys and immobilizer system. Bring all the remaining keys to an Authorised Mazda Repairer to reset.

    Starting the vehicle with a key that has not been reset is not possible.

Theft-Deterrent System (Some Models)

If the theft-deterrent system detects an inappropriate entry into the vehicle or the intrusion sensor detects movement in the vehicle which could result in the vehicle (with the intrusion sensor) or its contents being stolen, the alarm alerts the surrounding area of an abnormality by sounding the siren/horn and flashing the hazard warning lights.

 

The system will not function unless it's properly armed. So when you leave the vehicle, follow the arming procedure correctly.

Intrusion sensor (Some Models)

The intrusion sensor uses ultrasonic waves to detect movement inside the vehicle and to raise an alert of an intrusion into the vehicle.

 

The intrusion sensor detects certain kinds of movement inside the vehicle, however, it may also respond to phenomenon outside the vehicle such as vibrations, loud noise, wind, and air currents.

 


In order for the intrusion sensor to operate appropriately, be aware of the following:

  • Do not hang clothing or objects from a head restraint or a coat hook.

  • Return the extension sunvisors to their original positions.

  • Do not blind the intrusion sensor by covering it or placing objects over it.

  • Do not allow the intrusion sensor to get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.

  • Do not shock or cause an impact to the intrusion sensor or the intrusion sensor bezel.

  • Do not install seats that are not Mazda genuine products.

  • To prevent obstruction of intrusion sensor, do not place objects or cargo near the intrusion sensor that are higher than the head restraints.

     

How to Arm the System

  1. Close the windows and the sunroof (Some Models) securely.

     


    (With the intrusion sensor)

    Even with a window or the sunroof (Some Models) open, the system can be armed, however, leaving the windows or the sunroof (Some Models) even partially open can invite theft, and wind blowing into the vehicle could trigger the alarm.

    The intrusion sensor function can also be cancelled.

    Refer to Cancelling the Intrusion Sensor (With Intrusion Sensor) (Search).

  2. Switch the ignition OFF.

  3. Make sure the bonnet, the doors, and the liftgate/boot lid are closed.

  4. Press the lock button on the transmitter or lock the driver's door from the outside with the auxiliary key.

    The hazard warning lights will flash once.

    (With the advanced keyless function)

    Press a request switch.

     

    The security indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes twice per second for 20 seconds.

     

  5. After 20 seconds, the system is fully armed.

     


    • The theft-deterrent system can also be armed by activating the auto relock function with all the doors, the liftgate/boot lid and the bonnet closed.

      Refer to Transmitter (Search).

    • The system will disarm if one of the following operations takes place within 20 seconds after pressing the lock button:

      • Unlocking any door.

      • Opening any door.

      • Opening the bonnet.

      • Switching the ignition ON.

      To rearm the system, do the arming procedure again.

    • When the doors are locked by pressing the lock button on the transmitter or using the auxiliary key while the theft-deterrent system is armed, the hazard warning lights will flash once to indicate that the system is armed.

To Stop the Alarm

A triggered alarm can be turned off using any one of the following methods:

  • Pressing the unlock button or the boot button (saloon) on the transmitter.

  • Starting the engine with the push button start.

  • (With the advanced keyless function)

    • Pressing a request switch on the doors.

    • Pressing the electric liftgate/boot lid opener while the key is being carried.

The hazard warning lights will flash twice.
