#3 of 4 Autolock enable by arbalest Mar 12, 2008 (6:25 am)
Hi fellow owners I got a question regarding Smart Key In the manual, it mentioned Autolock feature, how do you know if the autolock has been enabled? I requested mine autolock to be enabled, however, when I pick up the car, I notice that after shutting of the car, step out, close the door, the car won't lock itself. The only condition that the car will lock itself is: Unlock with the remote, close all door and wait 30 sec. However, base on how I read the manual, I don't think it should be functioning that way. Can some one clarify please? e-mail to Mazda had no help what so ever. Thank you.

Probably a bit late on this but... When I went to the dealership to enable this feature they told me that it did not exist so I had to show them in the owners manual. They could not find it in their service manuals and I ended up looking it up for them. The Autolock feature the alarm beeps once when you close the door and once more when the doors lock and the alarm turns on. If the passenger closes their door first I usually have to re-open and close the drivers side door to get that first beep. Then from there walking off or standing there for 30 seconds the alarm activates.
