• In order to perform a forced ignition ON, the M-MDS is necessary. If the servicing is being done outside of an Authorized Mazda dealership, contact an Authorized Mazda dealership for instructions.
• The forced ignition ON procedure forces a power supply to each part when no power is available even after the ignition switch has been operated. However, the engine cannot be started and the steering cannot be unlocked.
• When performing a forced ignition ON procedure, remove all remote transmitters from the vehicle. If a remote transmitter is left in the vehicle, the forced ignition ON procedure cannot be done.
