Step by step.
- 01
Locate the Panic button on the registered Mazda transmitter.
- 02
Press and hold Panic for at least one second.
- 03
Confirm that the horn sounds and the hazard lamps flash.
- 04
Allow the alarm to run only as long as necessary; it stops automatically after about two minutes and thirty seconds.
- 05
To cancel immediately, press any button on the transmitter.
Important limits
- Use the panic alarm responsibly because the horn can disturb people nearby and may be restricted by local rules.
- The automatic duration is approximate and should not be used as a security timer.
- A depleted transmitter battery can prevent both activation and cancellation.
Quick checks.
- ✓If a quick press does nothing, hold Panic for the full one second.
- ✓If the alarm will not stop, press another transmitter button while moving closer to the car.
- ✓If the transmitter remains unresponsive, use the vehicle's normal entry procedure and replace its battery according to the manual.
