CAUTION



To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the sensor in
the seat cushion:



Do not place sharp objects on the seat cushion or leave heavy luggage on them.



Do not spill any liquids on the seats or under the seats.



To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:



Adjust the seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks with
seat belts worn properly.



If you place your child on the passenger seat, secure the child-restraint system properly
and slide the passenger seat as far back as possible.

NOTE



The system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the passenger front
and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.



The passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on repeatedly if luggage or
other items are put on the passenger seat, or if the temperature of the vehicle's interior
changes suddenly.



The passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds if the
electrostatic capacity on the passenger seat changes.



The air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the passenger
seat receives a severe impact.



If the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing a
child-restraint system on the passenger seat, first, re-install your child-restraint system
according to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light still does not turn on, and consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.



If the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an occupant is seated
directly in the passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture by sitting with
their feet on the floor, and then re-fastening the seat belt. If the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light remains turned on, slide the passenger seat as far back as
possible. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
