Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Properly dispose of the air bag system: 

Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely 

dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an 

Authorized Mazda Dealer safely dispose of the air bag system or scrap an air bag 

equipped vehicle.

NOTE



  If it becomes necessary to have the components or wiring system for the supplementary 

restraint system modified to accommodate a person with certain medical conditions in 

accordance with a certified physician, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer, refer to 

“Customer Assistance (U.S.A.)” (page 8-2).



  When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation noise can be heard and some smoke will be 

released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags may cause 

light skin injuries on body parts not covered with clothing through friction.



  Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag systems 

and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the Owner's Manual, is 

important.


