Any accessories which might
decrease the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat are attached
to the front passenger seat.
The front passenger front and side air
bags and knee air bags, and the seat
belt pretensioner system will
deactivate if the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates.

Do not increase the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat.
When an infant or small child sits on
the front passenger seat, increasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat is dangerous. The front
passenger seat weight sensors will
detect the increased total seated
weight, which could result in the
unexpected deployment of the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system in an accident and
may cause serious injury. Increasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat could result in the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system deployment in an
accident under the following
conditions, for example.
 Luggage or other items are placed on
the seat with the child in the
child-restraint system.
 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 3-30).

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.

A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner
System Warning Light on page 8-47.
In addition, the pretensioner system
for the front passenger, like the front
and side passenger air bag, is designed
to only deploy in accordance with the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger
seat weight sensors (page 3-16).
Load limiting system
If the vehicle receives a strong impact
from the front of the vehicle, the load
limiting system operates to prevent the
seat belts from applying an excessive
load. By maintaining the load applied
to the seat belt to a specified level, the
system reduces impact to an
occupant's chest.
Even if the pretensioners have not
fired, the load limiting function must
be checked by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
The pretensioner system operates if
the vehicle receives a strong impact
from the vehicle front or side
direction. The system may not
operate if the impact is weak.
Some smoke might be released
when the pretensioner system
operates, but this does not mean
there is a fire. This gas normally has
no effect on occupants. However,
those with sensitive skin may
experience light skin irritation. If
residue from the operation of the
pretensioner system gets on the skin
or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as
possible.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Seat Belts
WARNING
Always wear your seat belt and make
sure all occupants are properly
restrained.
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely
dangerous. During a collision,
occupants not wearing seat belts could
hit someone or things inside the
vehicle or even be thrown out of the
vehicle. They could be seriously injured
or even killed. In the same collision,
occupants wearing seat belts would be
much safer.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

Do not wear twisted seat belts.
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a
collision, the full width of the belt is
not available to absorb the impact.
This puts more force on the bones
beneath the belt, which could cause
serious injury or death. So, if your seat
belt is twisted, you must straighten the
seat belt to remove any twists and to
allow the full width of the belt to be
used.

If the belt is locked and cannot be
pulled out, retract the belt once,
and then try pulling it out slowly. If
this fails, pull the seat belt strongly
one time and loosen it, then pull it
out again slowly.
3. Make sure that the belt is not twisted.
4. Insert the plate into the buckle until it clicks.
5. The belt should fit the pelvis as lowas possible.
6. The belt should not touch the neck,jaw, or face and it should pass over
the shoulder.

To secure the outboard-third row seat
belts when not in use, insert the belts
into their seat belt retainers.

slips off the shoulder, adjust the seat
belt height.
To raise the seat belt
To lower the seat belt
1. Hold the seat belt anchor adjusterand press the knob down.
2. Make sure that the seat belt anchoradjuster is securely locked.
Seat Belt Extender
If your seat belt is not long enough,
even when fully extended, a seat belt
extender may be available to you at no
charge from your Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
This extender will be only for you and
for the particular vehicle and seat. Even
if it plugs into other seat belts, it may
not hold in the crit ical moment of a
crash.
When ordering an extender, only order
one that provides the necessary
additional length to fasten the seat belt
properly. Please contact your
Authorized Mazda Dealer for more
information.
NOTE
When not in use, remove the seat belt
extender and store it in the vehicle. If
the seat belt extender is left
connected, the seat belt extender
might get damaged as it will not retract
with the rest of the seat belt and can
easily fall out of the door when not in
use and be damaged. In addition, the
seat belt warning light will not
illuminate and function properly.
