Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

Do not modify the components or 

wiring, or use electronic testing devices 

on 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.

Properly dispose of the pretensioner 

system: 

Improper disposal of the pretensioner 

system or a vehicle with non-

deactivated pretensioners is 

dangerous. Unless all safety 

procedures are followed, injury 

could result. Have an Authorized 

Mazda Dealer safely dispose of 

the pretensioner system or scrap a 

pretensioner system equipped vehicle.

NOTE

  The pretensioner system may not 

operate depending on the type of the 

collision. For details, refer to the SRS 

Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page  

2-34).

  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 

pretensioner system gets on the skin 

or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as 

possible.

Seat Belt Extender

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.

WARNING

Do not use a seat belt extender unless it 

is necessary:

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.
