Keys
WARNING:
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not find or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may find these new
kinds of keys to be an interesting toy
to play with and could cause the
power windows or other controls to
operate, or even make the vehicle
move.
NOTE:
- Refer to Immobilizer System for
information regarding keys and engine
starting.
- (With theft-deterrent system).
Refer to Theft-Deterrent System for information regarding keys and the prevention of vehicle and vehicle contents theft.
The keys operate all locks.

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.
NOTE:
- Write down the code number and keep it in
a separate safe and convenient place, but
not in the vehicle.
If your key is lost, consult your Authorized Mazda Dealer and have your code number ready.
