Published availability and qualifications
Verified for 2025 U.S. Mazda3 models that physically have the Driving Position Memory controls; Mazda identifies the function as 'Some Models,' so the controls and equipment are the final check.
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Switch vehicle power ON and park the Mazda3 safely.
- 02
Adjust the driver's seat, Active Driving Display and outside mirrors to the desired positions.
- 03
Press and hold SET until the confirmation sound is heard.
- 04
Within five seconds of that sound, press Unlock on the transmitter you want to link.
- 05
Wait for the completion sound, then test by unlocking the driver door with that key and opening the door within the recall period.
Important limits
- The recall can move the seat automatically; keep hands, feet and loose objects away from the seat tracks.
- A mirror adjusted near the end of its travel may not store correctly.
- Vehicle movement, shifting an automatic model out of P, releasing the parking brake on a manual model, or operating an adjustment control cancels an active recall.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the key is not linked, repeat the sequence and press transmitter Unlock within the five-second window after the SET sound.
- ✓If only part of the position recalls, re-adjust all three supported items and store the position again.
- ✓To delete a key link, switch power OFF, hold SET until the sound and press the key's Lock button within five seconds.
