Restart the vehicle.

Wait at least 2 minutes and verify that the airbag readiness lamp is no

longer illuminated

If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may/not

DO NOT attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle

immediately to an authorized Mazda dealer. Ask the front seat occupant

to sit in a rear seat until the air bag system if checked by 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

WARNING:

Any alteration/modification to the front passenger

seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing

system.

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

Airbag readiness

section in the

Instrument Cluster

chapter. Routine maintenance of the

airbag 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.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced

at your authorized Mazda dealership immediately.

WARNING:

Unless serviced, the system may not function

properly in the event of a collision.
