WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the
side-curtain airbags (if equipped), fuses, the A, B, or C pillar
trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing side-curtain
airbags. See your authorized Mazda dealer.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their seat belts even when an airbag SRS

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the inflatable side-curtain
airbags (if equipped).

How do the side-curtain airbags (if equipped) work?

The design and development of the
side air curtain system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags (including side air
curtain systems).

The side-curtain airbags (if
equipped) consists of the following:

An inflatable nylon curtain with a
gas generator concealed behind
the headliner and above the doors
(one on each side of vehicle).

A headliner designed to flex open
above the side doors to allow side-curtain airbag deployment.

The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used
for the front airbags.
