Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
WARNING
Even in a moderate collision, the child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air
bag and moved violently backward resulting in serious injury or death to the child. If
your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air bag deactivation switch, always set
the switch to the OFF position when installing a rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat.
Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it
is unavoidable:
In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the
child. If installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and make sure that
the front passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position. Refer to Front
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch (page 2-44 ).
Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window of a vehicle with
side and curtain air bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the side window, the area of the
front passenger seat, the front and rear window pillars and the roof edge along both
sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy, even if a child-restraint system
is used. The impact of infl ation from a side or curtain air bag could cause serious
injury or death to an out of position child. Furthermore, leaning over or against the
front door could block the side and curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. With the front air bag and the additional side air bag that
comes out of the front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for children. Take
special care not to allow a child to lean over or against the side window, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplementary restraint systems (SRS) include up to 6 air bags. Please
verify which kinds of air bags are equipped on your vehicle by locating the “SRS
AIRBAG” location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area where the air bags
are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:
The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
The front passenger instrument panel (front passenger air bag)
The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) *
The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags) *
The air bag supplementary restraint systems are designed to provide supplementary
protection in certain situations so seat belts are always important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:
Keep the occupant from being thrown into an infl ating air bag.
Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag
infl ation, such as roll-over or rear impact.
Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions that are not
severe enough to activate the air bags.
Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.
Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.
A child who is too small to use a seat belt must be properly secured using a child-restraint
system (page 2-22 ).
Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your child and follow
the installation directions in this Owner's Manual as well as the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Sit in the centre of the seat and wear seat belts properly:
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or sleeping up
against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dangerous. The side and
curtain air bags infl ate with great force and speed directly expanding along the door on
the side the car is hit. Serious injury could occur if someone is sitting too close to the
door or leaning against a window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front
seatbacks. Give the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the centre of the
seat while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and front passenger air bags
deploy:
Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or placing
something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object could interfere with
air bag infl ation and injure the occupants.
Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag deploys:
Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard side of the seat
in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the side air bag,
which infl ates from the outboard side of the front seats, impeding the added protection
of the side air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous.
Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the front seats.
Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side air bag modules in your
front seats free to deploy in the event of a side collision.
Do not attach objects on or around the area where a curtain air bag deploys:
Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as on the
windscreen glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge
and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the curtain
air bag, which infl ates from the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge,
impeding the added protection of the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in
a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hanging clothes,
hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air bag modules free to
deploy in the event of a side collision.
Do not touch the components of the supplementary restraint system after the air bags
have infl ated:
Touching the components of the supplementary restraint system after the air bags have
infl ated is dangerous. Immediately after infl ation, they are very hot. You could get
burned.

Essential Safety Equipment
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.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
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.
Warning Light/Beep
