Air Bag/Front Seat Belt 
Pretensioner System Warning 
Light

If the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner 
system is normal, the warning light 
illuminates 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, 
illuminates or doesn

’

t illuminate 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 
performs all servicing and repairs.

WARNING

Seat Belt Extender

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.
