Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

Form No. 8R09-EA-02G

If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened 
when the ignition switch is turned to the 
ON position, the seat belt warning light 
will remain on until the belt is fastened.
If the system does not operate correctly, 
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Unnecessary Use of an Extender:
Using a seat belt extender when not 
necessary is dangerous. The seat belt 
will be too long and not fit properly. 
In an accident, the seat belt will not 
provide adequate protection and you 
could be seriously injured. Only use 
the extender when it is required to 
fasten the seat belt properly.

Using an Improper Extender:
Using a seat belt extender that is for 
another person or a different vehicle 
or seat is dangerous. The seat belt will 
not provide adequate protection and 
the user could be seriously injured in 
an accident. Only use the extender 
provided for you and for the 
particular vehicle and seat. NEVER 
use the extender in a different vehicle 
or seat.

Using an Extender That is Too Long:
Using an extender that is too long is 
dangerous. The seat belt will not fit 
properly. In an accident, the seat belt 
will not provide adequate protection 
and you could be seriously injured. 
Don’t use the extender or choose one 
shorter in length if the distance 
between the extender’s buckle and the 
center of the user’s body is less than 
15cm (6 in).
