Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Illuminated Entry System

When the illuminated entry system operates, the overhead light (switch is in the DOOR position) turn on for:

• About 30 seconds after the driver's door is unlocked and the ignition is switched off.
• About 15 seconds after all doors are closed and the ignition is switched off.
• About 5 seconds after all doors are closed and the ignition is switched off when the key is out of the vehicle.
• Illuminates for about 15 seconds when the ignition is returned from ACC to OFF.

The light also turns off when:

• The ignition is switched on and all doors are closed.
• The driver's door is locked.

NOTE

• Battery saver If any door is left open with the overhead light switch in the DOOR position, or the liftgate/trunk lid is left open, the overhead light or luggage compartment light/trunk light turns off after about 30 minutes to prevent battery depletion.
• The operation of the illuminated entry system can be changed.
