The Mazda 6 Key Fob

The Mazda 2 spare key 6 carves out a niche for itself among midsized sedans with elegant design and a nimble handling. The Mazda 6's standard four-pot engine puts out 187 horsepower and 186.5 lb-ft. The engine also allows the auto-drive six-speed sedan to reach 60 mph in 7.9 seconds.

Its bold, swoopy lines and grille makes it appear more expensive than the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord which it competes against.

Keyless Entry

When the weather is a mess or you've had to run the errands, and your hands are stuffed just a push of a button is all it takes to open your Mazda 6 key fob to get on with your day. The button is located on the back of the fob under a silver keyring. You can press the small button on the front of the fob in order to pull out the accessory key manual and open the fob's panel inside.

You can have an anti-theft device fitted at the local dealership or by a reputable car locksmith if you are concerned about your keys being stolen. These devices guard against attacks via relays by disabling the remote-control key fob following several minutes of no movement. If you're worried about your key fob becoming dead, you could purchase a replacement from a retailer of auto parts.

You should see an opening on each side of the case once the keys for auxiliary metals are removed. Start with one side and slowly progress to the other side with tape-wrapped screwdrivers. Once you've removed your case, store it somewhere that you won't lose it. Replace the battery and make sure to replace the rubber ring that it rests upon. Then, put the case back together and test it to ensure everything is working.

Key Fob

The key fob is a small device that regulates your car's security system. It transmits radio waves that are detected by an interior reader. The lock is activated if the RFID (radio frequency identification) signal is compatible with the code that has been programmed into the system. Today's key fobs include many features to protect their signals from being stolen and copied by thieves.

The battery of a key fob should be replaced every year. If the battery is dead, the KEY indicator light may not light up or the KEY button will not work. You can get a replacement battery from a dealer, or you can save up to 75% by buying one from an online retailer.

To open the Mazda key fob to replace the battery push the auxiliary button on the back of the key fob. Then take out the metal auxiliary key. You'll find a slot either side of the case where the key was so use your screwdriver to pry open the key fob case gently, first one side, then the other. Once the case is opened, you are able to remove both the auxiliary part made of metal as well as the plastic battery cover.

Replace the battery, being careful not to scratch the rubber ring that it sits on. Return the auxiliary keys and then the plastic battery cap, and put the case back together until you can hear it click into place.

Remote Start

The Mazda Advanced keyless entry system included on a number of new models allows remote lock, unlock and start functions via your key fob. Certain Mazda models include a three-year no-cost trial of Mazda Connected Services which allows you to remotely lock and unlock your vehicle with an app on your smartphone as well as set temperature in your cabin, locate your car and more.

You can add an optional long-range RF kit to your Mazda 6 key fob to enable it to start your vehicle from further distances. You'll need a cellular phone with service and appropriate apps to enable this.

If the key warning light (red) illuminates or the push button start indicator light (amber) flashes, it could indicate that the engine is not able to be started by the standard starting method (for vehicles with an instrument cluster type A (Search) messages are displayed in the instrument cluster). Get your vehicle checked by an Authorized Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.

Keep your key fobs lubricated, and clear to prevent the rust. Rotate your keys regularly so that one doesn't suffer more wear than the others, and replace your battery about every year, or as often as you need. Most auto parts stores sell replacement CR2025 battery. Mazda also provides the option to order them directly through their website.
