Important limits

  • This changes request-switch unlocking behavior; it does not remove the need to carry the registered key.
  • The sequence must begin within 30 seconds after opening the driver door.
  • A single-operation all-door option can also be managed in Mazda Connect on equipped vehicles.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the behavior does not change, hold Unlock for the full five seconds before attempting the toggle.
