Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner 
System 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 when the 
ignition switch is turned to the ON 
position. If any of these occur, consult an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as 
possible. The system may not work in an 
accident.

If your seat belt is not long enough, even 
when fully extended, a seat belt extender 
may be available to you at no charge from 
your Authorized Mazda Dealer.
This extender will be only for you and for 
the particular vehicle and seat. Even if it 
plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold 
in the critical moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order 
one that provides the necessary additional 
length to fasten the seat belt properly. 
Please contact your Authorized Mazda 
Dealer for more information.

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.
