MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER

Windshield wiper:

Rotate the end

of the control away from you to
increase the speed of the wipers
(from desired interval to low or high
speed position); rotate towards you
to decrease the speed of the wipers.

Note:

Heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades and overheat the

wiper motor. If this happens, the motor will automatically stop the
operation of the blades for a short period of time. If this happens while
driving, turn off the wiper switch, park off the right-of-way, and remove
the snow and ice. After a short period of time, turn the switch on and
the blades should operate normally. If they don’t resume functioning,
consult an authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.

Windshield washer:

Push the end

of the stalk:
• briefly: causes a single swipe of

the wipers without washer fluid.

• a quick push and hold: the wipers

will swipe several times with
washer fluid.

• a long push and hold: the wipers

and washer fluid will be activated
for up to ten seconds.

Courtesy wipe feature:

One extra wipe will occur a few seconds after

washing the front window to clear any excess washer fluid remaining on
the windshield.

Note:

Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.

This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid
level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,
always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.

SECURILOCK™ PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The
use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.

Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized 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:

The SecuriLock™ 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.

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.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

Locks and Security

Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.

Vehicles equipped with the
SecuriLock™ Passive Anti-theft
system behave as follows:
• When the ignition is in the off

position, the indicator will flash once every two seconds for a total of
10 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock™ system is functioning as a
theft deterrent.

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

three seconds to indicate a programmed key has been validated and
the SecuriLock™ Passive Anti-theft system has enabled the engine.

Vehicles without the SecuriLock™ Passive Anti-theft system behave as
follows:
• When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will not flash.

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

three seconds to indicate the engine is enabled.

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 an authorized dealer. 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 SecuriLock™ 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.

• If no previously programmed coded keys are available, you must take

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