Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is dangerous as
it could prevent the air bag crash sensor
system from accurately detecting a
collision or roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of serious
injuries. The gross axle weight rating
(GAWR) and the gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) for your vehicle are on the
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Label on
the driver's door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
 Do not drive the vehicle off-road:
Driving your Mazda off-road is
dangerous because the vehicle has not
been designed to do so. Driving the
vehicle off-road could prevent the air bag
crash sensor system from accurately
detecting a collision or roll-over accident
resulting in incorrect or unexpected air
bag deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.Do not modify a front door or leave any
damage unrepaired. Always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect a
damaged front door:
Modifying a front door or leaving any
damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each
front door has a side crash sensor as a
component of the supplemental restraint
system. If holes are drilled in a front door, a
door speaker is left removed, or a damaged
door is left unrepaired, the sensor could be
adversely affected causing it to not detect
the pressure of an impact correctly during a
side collision. If a sensor does not detect a
side impact correctly, the side and curtain
air bags and the front seat belt
pretensioner may not operate normally
which could result in serious injury to
occupants.
Do not modify the supplemental restraint
system:
Modifying the components or wiring of the
supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally activate
it or make it inoperable. Do not make any
modifications to the supplemental restraint
system. This includes installing trim,
badges, or anything else over the air bag
modules. It also includes installing extra
electrical equipment on or near system
components or wiring. An Authorized
Mazda Dealer can provide the special care
needed in the removal and installation of
front seats. It is important to protect the air
bag wiring and connections to assure that
the bags do not accidentally deploy, and
that the front passenger occupant
classification system and the seats retain
an undamaged air bag connection.
