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 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:
¾ A front passenger is seated as shown in the following fi gure:
¾ A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet.
¾ Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between the front
passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger seat bottom.
¾ 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 seat belt pretensioner systems 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 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
seat belt pretensioner system deployment in an accident under the following conditions,
for example:
¾ Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint
system.
¾ A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback.
¾ A rear passenger steps on the front passenger seat rails with their feet.
¾ Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint.
¾ Heavy items are placed in the seatback map pocket.
¾ The seat is washed.
¾ Liquids are spilled on the seat.
¾ The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items
placed behind it.
¾ The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.
¾ Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.
¾ Any accessories which might increase the total seated weight on the front passenger
seat are attached to the front passenger seat.
CAUTION
¾ To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the sensors in
the front seat bottoms:
¾ Do not place sharp objects on the front seat bottoms or leave heavy luggage on them.
¾ Do not spill any liquids on the front seats or under the front seats.
¾ To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:
¾ Adjust the front seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the
seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.
¾ 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 2-30 ).

N O T E
y The system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the front passenger
front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.
y 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.
y The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may illuminate for 10 seconds if
the total seated weight on the front passenger seat changes.
y The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might illuminate if the front
passenger seat receives a severe impact.
y If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate after
installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, ¿ rst, 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.
y 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 À oor, 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.

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not fi 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. Children may fi 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.

cellular phones.
¾ The key contacts or is covered by a
metal object.
¾ The key is near electronic devices such
as personal computers.
¾ Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the vehicle.
¾ There is equipment which discharges
radio waves near the vehicle.
¾ 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.
¾ To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
¾ Drop the key.
¾ Get the key wet.
¾ Disassemble the key.
¾ Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the dashboard or
hood, under direct sunlight.
¾ Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic fi eld.
¾ Place heavy objects on the key.
¾ Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner.
¾ Put any magnetized objects close to
the key.
A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
