A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

The readiness light (same light as for front airbag system) will either
flash or stay lit.

The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.

A series of five beep sounds will be heard. The tone pattern will
repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at your authorized Mazda dealership immediately. Unless serviced, the
system may not function properly in the event of a collision.

S.O.S. Post Crash Alert

The S.O.S Post Crash Alert automatically flashes the turn signal lamps
and sounds the horn three times at four second intervals in the event of
a serious impact that deploys an airbag (front, side, side curtain or
Safety Canopy

) or the seat belt pretensioners.

The S.O.S. Post Crash Alert can be turned off when any one of the
following actions are taken by the driver or any other person:

pressing the hazard control button,

or pressing the panic button on the remote key fob.

The feature will continue to operate until the vehicle runs out of power.

Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles
(including pretensioners)

See your authorized dealer. Airbags MUST BE disposed of by qualified
personnel.
