Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

Form No. 8R09-EA-02G

Unfastening the Seat Belts

Depress the button on the buckle.

To secure the passenger's seat belt when 
not in use, insert the belt tongue into the 
slot.

For optimum protection, the driver and 
passenger seat belts are equipped with 
pretensioner and load limiting systems.
In moderate or greater frontal or near-
frontal accidents, the air bag and 
pretensioner systems deploy 
simultaneously. The pretensioners take up 
slack in the seat belts as the air bags are 
expanding. The load limiting system 
releases belt webbing in a controlled 
manner to reduce belt force on the 
occupant’s chest.

NOTE

If a belt does not fully retract, inspect it 
for kinks and twists. If it is still not 
retracting properly, have it inspected at 
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
