WARNING Do not leave the key in your vehicle with children and keep them in a place where your children will not fi nd 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 fi nd these 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.

The key contacts or is covered by a metal object.
The key is near electronic devices such as personal computers.
Non-Mazda genuine electronic equipment is installed in the vehicle.
There is equipment which discharges radio waves near the vehicle.

Disassemble the key.
Expose the key to high temperatures on places such as the dashboard or hood, under direct sunlight.

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 (auxiliary key).

If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult your Authorized Mazda Dealer and have your code number ready.
