1 If a larger child sits on the front passenger seat,

the sensors might detect the child as being an
adult depending on the child's physique.

*

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 illuminate when
the ignition is switched ON and does not
illuminate as indicated in the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light on/off condition chart, do not allow a
child 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.

WARNING

Do not decrease the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat:

When an adult or large child sits on the
front passenger seat, decreasing the total
seated weight on the front passenger seat
required for air bag deployment is
dangerous. The front passenger seat
weight sensors will detect the reduced total
seated weight condition and the front
passenger front and side air bags and knee
air bags, and the seat belt pretensioner
system will not deploy during an accident.
The front passenger will not have the
supplementary protection of the air bag,
which could result in serious injury.
Decreasing the total seated weight on the
front passenger seat could result in an air
bag not deploying under the following
conditions, for example:
