Front Seat Belt
Pretensioner and Load
Limiting Systems
For optimum protection, the driver and
front passenger seat belts are equipped
with pretensioner and load limiting
systems. For both these systems to work
properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.
Pretensioners:
When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously with
the air bags.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS
Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page 2-52 ).
The seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have fi red they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-40 .

System Warning Beep on page 7-49 .
(With front passenger air bag
deactivation switch)
In addition, the pretensioner system for
the front passenger, like the front and side
passenger air bag, is designed to only
deploy when the front passenger air bag
deactivation switch is turned to the ON
position.
For details, refer to front passenger air bag
deactivation switch (page 2-44 ).

Child Restraint
3. Expand the area between the seat
bottom and the seatback slightly to
verify the locations of the ISOFIX
anchor.
NOTE
The markings above the ISOFIX
anchors indicate the locations of the
ISOFIX anchors for the attachment of a
child-restraint system.
4. Raise the head restraint to the top
locked position.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-11 .
5. Secure the child-restraint system using
the ISOFIX anchor, following the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instruction.
6. If your child-restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that probably
means it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety. Please
carefully follow the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions
when installing tethers (page 2-34 ).
WARNING
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:
Attaching the tether strap to the
incorrect tether anchor position is
dangerous. In a collision, the tether
strap could come off and loosen the
child-restraint system. If the child-
restraint system moves it could result in
death or injury to the child.
Always remove the head restraint and
set the tether strap:
Routing the tether strap on top of
the head restraint is dangerous. In a
collision the tether strap could slide off
the head restraint and loosen the child-
restraint system. The child-restraint
system could move which may result in
death or injury to the child.

SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Do not remove interior air bag parts:
Removing any components such as the front seats, front instrument panel, the steering
wheel or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge, containing
air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts contain essential air bag components.
The air bag could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries. Always have an
Authorised Mazda Repairer remove these parts.
Properly dispose of the air bag system:
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely
dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer safely dispose of the air
bag system or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.
NOTE
  When an air bag deploys, a loud infl ation noise can be heard and some smoke will
be released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags may
cause light skin injuries on body parts not covered with clothing through friction.
  Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag systems
and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the Owner's Manual, is
important.
  This highly-visible label warns against the use of a rear-facing child-restraint system
on the front passenger seat.

Curtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge
along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the
curtain air bag infl ates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard
passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-52 ).
Only one side curtain air bag will deploy on the
side of the vehicle that receives the force of an
impact.
