WARNING

Radio waves from the key may affect medical devices such as pacemakers: Before using the key near people who use medical devices, ask the medical device manufacturer or your physician if radio waves from the key will affect the device.

NOTE

1. Make sure you are carrying the key.

This may prevent the engine from starting or from switching the ignition to ACC or ON (for vehicles with a type A instrument cluster, messages are displayed in the instrument cluster). Have your vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
