The loss of your key fob during an excursion around Manhattan or Bronx can be really annoying. Fortunately, there are simple tricks to get you back on the road in a flash!

Keyless Entry

It is a very popular method to unlock your car without having to reach for the door handle or take off your key fob. It works by sending out short-range radio signals which are detected by your car's main fob when it's in range. The signals are encrypted to ensure they cannot be intercepted.

The key fob will then transmit a signal to the car that unlocks the doors or trunk. The system also can activate the hazard warning lights, and turn on the audio system to deter thieves. You can alter the volume of these features.

Certain Mazdas have an advanced version of keyless entry, that allows you to push an icon from your key fob to lock or unlock the vehicle. This is ideal when you have children in the backseat. This is referred to as proximity key entry.

Keep your Mazda's battery for keyless entry charged to make the most of it. If the key fob's buttons fail to work or its operating range shrinks, it might require an upgrade to the battery. To replace the battery you must take off the auxiliary metal part and open the case. Use a tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver to pry the case open by removing one side at a time. The battery for the key fob is hidden behind a slot inside the case, and it is possible to see it when the auxiliary key is removed.

Keyless Start

To reactivate the fob, turn off the engine and enter the vehicle using a functioning key. Press the start button two times after entering the vehicle until the green indicator lights up. If this does not work, then contact an authorized Mazda dealer.

Remote Start

The remote starter will begin the engine of your vehicle for a couple of seconds before shutting it off automatically. This can reduce wear and tear, and will extend the lifespan of your vehicle.

Security

The 2022 Mazda 3 offers anti-theft protection through two main sources: a theft-deterrent alarm and an immobilizer system. The alarm will sound and flash if someone attempts to break into your vehicle. The immobilizer will stop the engine from running. Additionally, you'll get a 3-year trial of Mazda Connected Services, which includes emergency call-outs that are automatic and remote engine starting.

The alarm will also sound in the event that you, or anyone else, attempts to open the trunk without a key or start the car. Once the alarm has been activated it will remain on for about two seconds after you press the unlock button or the trunk release lever. You can deactivate the car alarm by pressing the lock or turning the key in the ignition.

If the security indicator light on your Mazda continues to blink or flash, call an authorized repairer as fast as you can. This indicates that the key, the transmitter, or the immobilizer is malfunctioning. A technician who is authorized by the manufacturer can reset the codes of the keys and immobilizers to stop any misuse.

A new battery in your Mazda key fob is yet another method to safeguard it from misuse. Remove the tape from the case of the key fob, then remove the cover and replace it. Be careful not to scratch the rubber ring which holds the new battery.
