Summary
THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A PUSH BUTTON START/STOP IGNITION SYSTEM. UNLIKE SOME PREVIOUS MAZDA MODELS (A), THERE IS NO KEY CYLINDER ON THE STEERING COLUMN (B). THEREFORE, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED WITH THE AUXILIARY KEY IF THE ROOM FUSE IS REMOVED OR IF THE TRANSMITTER BATTERY IS DEAD.
