Things to Be ObservedWhile Driving
WARNING
Never stop the hybrid system when
going down a hill.
Stopping the hybrid system when
going down a hill is dangerous. This
causes the loss of power steering and
power brake control, and may cause
damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of
steering or braking control could cause
an accident.
Be extremely careful if it is necessary
to downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while
driving on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle
control and an accident.
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed
and abrupt maneuvers when driving
this vehicle:
Sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvering of this vehicle are
dangerous as it could result in the
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle roll-over, personal injury or
death.
This vehicle has a higher center of
gravity. Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity such as util ity vehicles handle
differently than vehicles with a lower
center of gravity.
Utility vehicles are not designed for
cornering at high speeds any more
than low profile sports cars are
designed to perfo rm satisfactorily
under off-road conditions.
In addition, utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
 Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short
circuiting of electrical/electronic
parts, or engine damage or stalling
from water absorption. If the vehicle
has been immersed in water, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Event Data Recorder(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main
purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in
this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash or near
crash-like situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.

Mazda will not disclose any of the data
recorded in an EDR to a third party
unless:
A written agreement from the vehicle
owner or the lessee is obtained
Officially requested by the police or
other law enforcement authorities
Used as a defense for Mazda in a
lawsuit, claim, or arbitration
Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
Use the data for research on Mazda
vehicle performance, including
safety.
Disclose the data or the summarized
data to a third party for research
purposes without disclosing vehicle
or owner identification information.

from on-vehicle computer
Information related to controls of
other on-vehicle computers
The recorded information differs
depending on the vehicle grade and
the equipment.
Personal information (name, sex, age,
and collision location) is not recorded.
Data handling
Mazda and its contractors may obtain
and use data recorded in EDRs and
computers that record vehicle data for
the purpose of vehicle malfunction
diagnosis, research and development,
and quality improvement.
Mazda will not disclose or provide any
of the obtained data to a third party
unless:
An agreement from the vehicle
owner (agreements from lessor and
lessee for leased vehicle) is obtained
Officially requested by the police or
other law enforcement authorities
For statistical processing by a
research institution after processing
the data so that identification of the
owner or the vehicle is impossible

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

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.

How to Use the Seat Belts
1. Sit back in the seat with your backupright.
2. Hold the plate and slowly pull out
the seat belt.
NOTE
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.
Adjusting the Seat Belt Height
If the seat belt contacts your neck or it
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.
