WARNING

Modification of the Supplemental
Restraint System:
Modifying the components or wir-
ing of the supplemental restraint
system is dangerous. You could
accidentally activate it or make
it inoperable. Don’t make any mod-
ifications to the supplemental
restraint system. This includes
installing trim, badges or anything
else over the air bag storage areas.
It also includes installing extra
electric equipment on or near sys-
tem components or wiring.

WARNING

Front Air Bag Storage Areas:
Attaching an object to a front air
bag storage area or placing some-
thing in front of it is dangerous. In
an accident, the object could inter-
fere with front air bag inflation and
injure the occupants. Always keep
the front air bag storage areas free
of objects.

WARNING

Air Bag Inspection After a 
Collision:
If your Mazda was in a collision
not strong enough to inflate the air
bag, parts on which the sensors are
mounted may be distorted, and
without repairs the system may not
operate when necessary.

Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
make a very careful inspection of
the system.
