Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

Form No. 8S18-EA-03I

Air Bag/Front Seat Belt 
Pretensioner System Warning 
Light

If the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner 
system is normal, the warning light 
illuminates when the ignition switch is 
turned to the ON position or after the 
engine is cranked. After about 6 seconds it 
goes out.

A system malfunction is indicated when 
the warning light illuminates or doesn

illuminate at all when the ignition switch 
is turned to the ON position. If any of 
these occur, consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer as soon as possible. The system 
may not work in an accident.

Pretensioner System Disposal:
Improper disposal of the pretensioner 
system or a vehicle with non-
deactivated pretensioners is 
dangerous. Unless all safety 
procedures are followed, injury could 
result. Ask an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer how to safely dispose of the 
pretensioner system or how to scrap a 
pretensioner-equipped vehicle.

NOTE

The pretensioner system will only 
activate in a moderate or greater 
frontal or near-frontal collision. It 
will not activate in most rollovers, 
side or rear impacts.

Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be 
released when the air bags and 
pretensioners deploy. This does not 
indicate a fire. This gas normally 
has no effect on occupants, 
however, those with sensitive skin 
may experience light skin irritation. 
If residue from the deployment of 
the air bags or the front pretensioner 
system gets on the skin or in the 
eyes, wash it off as soon as possible.

WARNING

Self-Servicing the Air Bag/
Pretensioner Systems:
Self-servicing or tampering with the 
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally 
activate or become disabled. This 
could cause serious injuries. Never 
tamper with the systems and always 
have an Authorized Mazda Dealer 
performs all servicing and repairs.
