Do not place any objects on the

assist grips.  Only hang clothes

directly on the coat hooks.

Do not touch the components of the

supplemental restraint system after

the air bags have in

fl

ated:

Touching the components of the

supplemental restraint system after the

air bags have in

fl

ated is dangerous.

Immediately after in

fl

ation, 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 a

ff

ected.

This could cause air bags to in

fl

ate

unexpectedly, or it could prevent the

air bags from in

fl

ating 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 modi

fi

ed, 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 speci

fi

ed for your Mazda:

Use of any tire or wheel other than

those speci

fi

ed for your Mazda (page

9-10) 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.



Do not overload your vehicle:

Overloading your vehicle is

dangerous as it could prevent the air

bag crash sensor system from

accurately detecting a collision or

roll-over accident resulting in

incorrect or unexpected air bag

deployment and the possibility of

serious injuries. The gross axle

weight rating (GAWR) and the gross

vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for

your vehicle are on the Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the

driver's door frame. Do not exceed

these ratings.



Do not drive the vehicle o

ff

-road:

Driving your Mazda o

ff

-road is

dangerous because the vehicle has

not been designed to do so. Driving

the vehicle o

ff

-road could prevent

the air bag crash sensor system from

accurately detecting a collision or

roll-over accident resulting in

incorrect or unexpected air bag

deployment and the possibility of

serious injuries.
