Thanks for that jtonline.
I will sleep easier tonight.
The handbook is very confusing on many of the features, especially the door lock procedures.
When I nip out of the car for a minute or two (with the keys in my pocket, I have Advanced Keyless Entry) to run into the newsagent for a paper and I leave Mrs. Tax in the car, the car locks and if she so much as moves a muscle the alarm goes off.
I cant figure out how to set things up, other than by taking the keys out of my pocket and leaving them in the car, so that she can choose whether to lock the car or not by pressing the door lock button.
Sometimes the technology that make things so much easier and convenient, can just as easily become an annoying inconvenience, and mastering the unruly beast can be a frustrating experience.
Hands up if....
And I thought I understood its purpose, so before saying so on this forum I went and tried it, and I was wrong, it didn't do what I expected at all. What I had read somewhere was that with the tailgate open and being potentially distracted loading shopping, you could press the button to lock all the other doors to prevent a bag theft from within the car for example. But that is not what it does.

Yep, I leave the advanced keyless entry and walk away locking enabled coz I like them. On the odd occasion that I leave someone in the car, I just give them the keys or put the keys in the centre console.
You could keep the key and temporarily disable the interior alarm sensors with the button on the fob, but the downside is that it would still leave the doors deadlocked which isn't very safe for the occupant/s as they wouldn't be able to get out in the event of an emergency.

Not read the manual, I don't know how to open the glove box. I'm told that's where I will find it.

You haven't downloaded the online version or used the My Mazda app to work out how to use the glovebox then

I've got an MX5, they don't have a glove box, so I'm very confused.
