*1  The occupant classification sensor may not detect a child seated on the seat, in a child-restraint system, or a 

junior seat depending on the child's physical size and seated posture.

*2  If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the person as being a child depending 

on the person's physique.

The curtain air bag is ready for inflating regardless of what the front passenger air bag 

deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart indicates.

If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on when the ignition 

is switched ON and does not turn on as indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation 

indicator light on/off condition chart, do not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger 

seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The system may not work 

properly in an accident.
