In case there is a problem with the passenger sensing system, the airbag
readiness light in the instrument cluster will stay lit. DO NOT attempt to
repair or service the system; take your vehicle immediately to the
authorized Mazda dealer.
If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact the Mazda Customer
Relationship Center at the phone number shown in the Customer
Assistance section of this

Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the
Air bag readiness
section in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter. Routine maintenance of the
air bag is not required.
A malfunction with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following:
•
The readiness light 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/or light are repaired.
