battery CR2032 or equivalent. The typical operating range for your
remote entry transmitter is approximately 10 meters (33 feet). A
decrease in the operating range could be caused by:
• weather conditions,
• nearby radio towers,
• structures around the vehicle and
• other vehicles parked next to the vehicle.

To replace the battery:

1. Twist a thin coin between the

two halves of the remote entry
transmitter near the key ring.
DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT
PART OF THE REMOTE

operation failure.

2. Remove the old battery.

3. Insert the new battery. Refer to the diagram inside the remote entry

transmitter for the correct orientation of the battery.

4. Snap the two halves back together.

Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the remote transmitter
to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote transmitter
should operate normally after battery replacement.

Replacing lost remote entry transmitters

If you would like to have your remote entry transmitter reprogrammed
because you lost one, or would like to buy additional remote entry
transmitters, you can either reprogram them yourself, or take all
remote entry transmitters to your authorized dealer for
reprogramming.

How to reprogram your remote entry transmitters

You must have all remote entry transmitters (maximum of four)
available before beginning this procedure.

position. The instrument lights in the cluster will come on for a bulb
check in the 4 (ON) position.

5. The doors will lock, then unlock, to confirm that the programming

mode has been activated.

6. Within 20 seconds press any button on the remote entry transmitter.

Note: If more than 20 seconds have passed you will need to start
the procedure over again.

7. The doors will lock, then unlock, to confirm that this remote entry

transmitter has been programmed.

8. Repeat Step 6 to program each additional remote entry transmitter.

9. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position after you have finished

programming all of the remote entry transmitters.

10. The doors will lock, then unlock, to confirm that the programming

mode has been exited.

SECURILOCK

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

SecuriLock

y passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization

system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used.

The SecuriLock

y passive anti-theft system is not compatible with

non-Mazda aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the coded
key.

Note: A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.

Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.

Theft indicator

The theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
• When the ignition is in the OFF position, the indicator will flash once

every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock

y system is functioning as

a theft deterrent.

• When the ignition is in the ON position, the indicator will glow for 3

seconds, then turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock

y system, the indicator will flash

rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.

Locks and Security

Automatic arming

The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 3
(OFF) position.

The

THEFT

indicator will flash

every two seconds when the vehicle
is armed.

Automatic disarming

Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with a coded key disarms
the vehicle.
• The

THEFT

indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go

out.

• If the

THEFT

indicator stays on for an extended period of time or

flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealer.

Replacement keys

If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes
need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be
programmed.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.

Programming spare keys

You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.

Tips:
• A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
• Only use Securilocky keys.
• You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that

already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed
key(s) readily accessible.

Locks and Security

• If you do not have at least 2 previously programmed keys, you must

take your vehicle to your dealer to have the spare key(s)
programmed.

1. Insert a previously programmed

coded key into the ignition.

2. Turn the ignition from the 3

(OFF) position to the 4 (ON)
position. Keep the ignition in
the 4 (ON) position for at least
one second, but no more than
10 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF)

position, and remove the coded
key from the ignition.

4. Within ten seconds of removing the previously programmed coded

key, insert the other previously programmed coded key into the
ignition.

5. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.

Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second but
not more than 10 seconds.

6. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position, and remove the second

key from the ignition.

7. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed

coded key, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key) into the
ignition.

8. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.

Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second.

9. Your new unprogrammed key is now programmed.

If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle’s
engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and
then go out. If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start
your vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off. If
failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealer to have the new key(s)
programmed.

To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure
from step 1 for each additional key.
