Essential Safety Equipment; Do not attach objects on or around the; area where a curtain air bag deploys:- Page 72

Do not hang net bags, map pouches or
backpacks with side straps on the front
seats. Never use seat covers on the front
seats. Always keep the side air bag modules
in your front seats free to deploy in the
event of a side collision.

Do not attach objects on or around the
area where a curtain air bag deploys:

Attaching objects to the areas where the
curtain air bag activates such as on the
windshield glass, side door glass, front and
rear window pillars and along the roof
edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an
accident the object could interfere with the
curtain air bag, which inflates from the
front and rear window pillars and along
the roof edge, impeding the added
protection of the curtain air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is
dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could be
cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects
on the assist grips. When hanging clothes,
hang them on the coat hook directly.
Always keep the curtain air bag modules
free to deploy in the event of a side collision
or roll-over accident.

Do not touch the components of the
supplemental restraint system after the air
bags have inflated:

Touching the components of the
supplemental restraint system after the air
bags have inflated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are very
hot. You could get burned.

Never install any front-end equipment to
your vehicle:

Installation of front-end equipment, such
as frontal protection bar (kangaroo bar,
bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices),
snowplow, or winches, is dangerous. The
air bag crash sensor system could be
affected. This could cause air bags to
inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the
air bags from inflating during an accident.
Front occupants could be seriously injured.

Do not modify the suspension:

Modifying the vehicle suspension is
dangerous. If the vehicle's height or the
suspension is modified, the vehicle will be
unable to accurately detect a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or
unexpected air bag deployment and the
possibility of serious injuries.

To prevent false detection by the air bag
sensor system, heed the following:



Do not use tires or wheels other than
those specified for your Mazda:
Use of any tire or wheel other than those
specified for your Mazda (page 9-9) is
dangerous. Use of such wheels will
prevent the vehicle's accident detections
system from accurately detecting a
collision or roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of serious
injuries.
