Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
*Some models.
Side Air Bags *
The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the
system inÀ ates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side
air bag inÀ ates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger's chest 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 2-56 ).



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 inÀ 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 2-56 ).


Only one side curtain air bag will deploy on the
side of the vehicle that receives the force of an
impact.

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not ¿ nd or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the

someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may ¿ nd these keys
to be an interesting toy to play with
and could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even make
the vehicle move.
CAUTION

low-intensity radio waves, it may
not function correctly under the
following conditions:
 


 The key is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
 


 The key contacts or is covered by a
metal object.
 


 The key is near electronic devices
such as personal computers.
 


 Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
vehicle.
 


 There is equipment which
discharges radio waves near the
vehicle.
 
 The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it
receives high-intensity radio waves.
Do not place the key near electronic
devices such as televisions or
personal computers.
  To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
 


 Drop the key.



 Get the key wet.



 Disassemble the key.



 Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
 


 Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic ¿ eld.

Doors and Locks

WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not ¿ nd or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.

Always close all the windows, lock the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and take
the key with you when leaving your
vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.

WARNING
After closing the doors and the liftgate/
boot lid, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door and the
liftgate/boot lid not securely closed,
the door and the liftgate/boot lid could
open unexpectedly resulting in an
accident.

Always con¿ rm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid is dangerous. A passing
vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and
cause an accident.
CAUTION
Always con¿ rm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use
caution during strong winds or when
parked on an incline. Not being aware
of the conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because ¿ ngers could get
caught in the door and the liftgate/boot
lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.

Fuel and Emission
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colourless, odourless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness
and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, keep all windows fully open and
contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer immediately.

Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust
gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of
consciousness or even death could occur.

Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw fresh air when idling
the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and
the engine running for a long time even in an open area, exhaust gas, which contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death
could occur.

Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe, before
starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust
pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because
exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of consciousness
or even death to occupants in the cabin.
