The immobilizer system is a vehicle theft prevention device that only allows remote transmitters that have been previously programmed to the vehicle to start the engine.
The start stop unit performs immobilizer system fail-safe. (See START STOP UNIT.)
The immobilizer system-related parts programmed to the immobilizer system have a programmed key ID number, and starting the engine is only permitted when the key ID number matches.
Immobilizer system-related parts can be programmed using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).
A maximum 6 remote transmitters can be programmed to one vehicle.
If the following parts are replaced, it is necessary to program them to the immobilizer system.
