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.
