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
Park and enable the walk-away or proximity auto-lock option in Mazda Connect Settings.
- 02
Switch power off, exit and keep the registered key with you.
- 03
Close all doors and the liftgate and wait for the initial beep.
- 04
Leave the key's operating range and wait for the vehicle's lock confirmation.
- 05
Pull a handle or check the lock status before walking away for good.
Important limits
- A second registered key left inside can keep the vehicle from locking as expected.
- Walking out of range before the last door or liftgate is closed can interrupt the sequence.
- Always verify the lock instead of relying only on an audible signal.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the vehicle does not lock, confirm every opening is fully latched and repeat the sequence without a spare key inside.
- ✓If no initial beep occurs, check the Mazda Connect setting and the transmitter battery.
- ✓If behavior changes after service, review the personalization setting because it may have been reset.
