Seat Belt Systems

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

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.

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).

NOTE

When not in use, remove the seat belt 
extender and store it in the vehicle. If 
the seat belt extender is left connected, 
the rear door cannot be opened 
because the seat belt does not fully 
retract and the seat belt warning light 
will not illuminate and function 
properly.
