Mazda CX5 anti-theft system disabling method is: Use the key to open the car door, and the alarm will stop after a few minutes; Open the engine hood and locate the alarm; Find the fuse box and remove the alarm fuse; Install a switch on the anti-theft device to disable it. The Mazda CX5 is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4555mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of powertrain, the Mazda CX5 is equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L inline-four naturally aspirated engines, delivering maximum horsepower of 155hp and 196hp, maximum output power of 114kw and 144kw, and peak torque of 200nm and 252nm, respectively. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Last time I encountered this situation, it was caused by a dead car key battery. I took out the mechanical key to manually open the door, immediately sat in the driver's seat, placed the key against the start button, and pressed the brake to start the car, which instantly deactivated the anti-theft system. Once, a friend modified the circuit, causing the system to trigger falsely, and we had to remove and reinsert the anti-theft system fuse in the fuse box to restore it. It's best to regularly replace the key battery and avoid leaving the mechanical key in the trunk. If you get locked out, call Mazda's 400 hotline and provide the VIN; the manufacturer can remotely unlock it. When the anti-theft system is triggered, the hazard lights will flash rapidly, and the horn will sound continuously—never try to break the window forcefully.
