Limitations to roll-over detection
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System):
The following illustration is an example
of an accident that may not be
detected as a roll-over accident.
Therefore, the seat belt pretensioners
and curtain air bags may not deploy.

▼ Driver and Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System
First, please read "Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) Precautions"
(page 2-52) carefully.
▼Driver Seat Slide Position Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a driver
seat slide position sensor as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. The
sensor is located under the driver seat.
The sensor determines whether the
driver seat is fore or aft of a reference
position and sends the seat position to
the diagnostic module (SAS unit).
The SAS unit is designed to control the
deployment of the driver air bag
depending on how close the driver
seat is to the steering wheel.
The air bag/seat belt pretensioner
system warning light
flashes if the
sensor has a possible malfunction
(page 2-62).

▼Front Passenger Seat Weight
Sensors
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger seat weight sensors as a part
of the supplemental restraint system.
These sensors are located under both
of the front passenger seat rails. These
sensors determine the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat and
monitor the seat belt buckle for the
front passenger seat. The SAS unit is
designed to prevent the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system from deploying if
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
To reduce the chance of injuries
caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag, the system
deactivates the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and also the seat belt pretensioner
system when the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. Refer to the following
table for the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light
illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system, so make sure the
front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates according to
the following table.

The air bag/ seat belt pretensioner
system warning light flashes and the
front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates if the sensors
have a possible malfunction. If this
happens, the front passenger front and
side air bags and knee air bags, and
seat belt pretensioner system will not
deploy.
Front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light
This indicator light illuminates to
remind you that the front passenger
front and side air bags and knee air
bags, and seat belt pretensioners will
not deploy during a collision.

If the front passenger weight sensors
are normal, the indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON. The light turns off after a
few seconds. Then, the indicator light
illuminates or is off under the following

being a child depending on the person's
physique.
The curtain air bag is ready for inflating
regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/off condition
chart indicates.

If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate when the ignition is
switched ON and does not illuminate
as indicated in the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light on/off
condition chart, do not allow a child to
sit in the front passenger seat and
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
as soon as possible. The system may
not work properly in an accident.
WARNING
Do not decrease the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat:
When an adult or large child sits on the
front passenger seat, decreasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat required for air bag
deployment is dangerous. The front
passenger seat weight sensors will
detect the reduced total seated weight
condition and the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and the seat belt pretensioner system
will not deploy during an accident. The
front passenger will not have the
supplementary protection of the air
bag, which could result in serious
injury. Decreasing the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat
could result in an air bag not deploying
under the following conditions, for
example:

A rear passenger or luggage push or
pull down on the front passenger
seatback.
 A rear passenger steps on the front
passenger seat rails with their feet.
 Luggage or other items are placed on
the seatback or hung on the head
restraint.
 Heavy items are placed in the
seatback map pocket.
 The seat is washed.
 Liquids are spilled on the seat.
 The front passenger seat is moved
backward, pushing into luggage or
other items placed behind it.
 The front passenger seatback
contacts the rear seat.
 Luggage or other items are placed
between the front passenger seat
and driver seat.
 Any accessories which might increase
the total seated weight on the front
passenger seat are attached to the
front passenger seat.
CAUTION
To assure proper deployment of the
front air bag and to prevent damage
to the sensors in the front seat
bottoms:
 Do not place sharp objects on the
front seat bottoms or leave heavy
luggage on them.
 Do not spill any liquids on the
front seats or under the front seats.
 To allow the sensors to function
properly, always perform the
following:
 Adjust the front seats as far back as
possible and always sit upright
against the seatbacks with seat
belts worn properly.
If you place your child on the front
passenger seat, secure the
child-restraint system properly and
slide the front passenger seat as far
back as possible (page 2-43).
NOTE
The system requires about 10
seconds to alternate between turning
the front passenger front and side air
bags and knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system on or off.
The front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light may
illuminate repeatedly if luggage or
other items are put on the front
passenger seat, or if the temperature
of the vehicle's interior changes
suddenly.
The front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light may
illuminate for 10 seconds if the total
seated weight on the front passenger
seat changes.
The air bag/seat belt pretensioner
system warning light might illuminate
if the front passenger seat receives a
severe impact.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate after installing a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat, first, re-install your
child-restraint system according to
the procedure in this owner's
manual. Then, if the front passenger
air bag deactivation indicator light
still does not illuminate, install the
child-restraint system on the rear seat
and consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.

If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light
illuminates when an adult is seated
in the front passenger seat, have the
passenger re-adjust their posture by
sitting with their feet on the floor,
and then re-fastening the seat belt. If
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light still
illuminates, move the passenger to
the rear seat. If sitting in the rear seat
is not possible, slide the front
passenger seat as far back as
possible. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
▼Driver and Front Passenger Buckle
Switches
The buckle switches on the front seat
belts detect whether or not the front
seat belts are securely fastened and
further control the deployment of the
air bags.
