Modification or Testing of the 
Pretensioner System:
Modifying the components or wiring 
of the pretensioner system, including 
the use of electronic testing devices is 
dangerous. You could accidentally 
activate it or make it inoperable which 
would prevent it from activating in an 
accident. The occupants or repairers 
could be seriously injured. Never 
modify the components or wiring, or 
use electronic testing devices on the 
pretensioner system.

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.

WARNING

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.
