Form No. 8Q42-EA-01F

Constant Monitoring

The following components of the air bag 
systems are monitored by a diagnostic 
system:

SAS unit

Crash sensor

Air bag modules

Seat belt pretensioners

Related wiring

Passenger-side air bag deactivation 
switch

A diagnostic module continuously 
monitors the systems’ readiness. This 
begins when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position and continues while 
the vehicle is being driven.

Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner 
Systems Warning Light

If the air bag/seat belt pretensioner system 
is OK, the warning light comes on when 
the ignition switch is turned to the ON 
position or after the engine is cranked. 
After about 6 seconds it goes out.

A system malfunction is indicated when 
the warning light constantly flashes, stays 
on or doesn’t come on at all. If any of 
these occur, consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer as soon as possible. The system 
may not work in an accident.

Maintenance

The air bag systems are maintenance-free. 
But if any of the following occurs, take 
your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer as soon as possible:

The air bag system warning light 
flashes.

The air bag system warning light stays 
on.

The air bag system warning light stays 
off when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position.

The air bags inflate.

Self-Servicing the Air Bag/
Pretensioner Systems:
Self-servicing or tampering with the 
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally 
activate or become disabled. This 
could cause serious injuries. Never 
tamper with the systems and always 
have an Authorized Mazda Dealer 
perform all servicing and repairs.
