air suspension MAZDA MODEL 6 2015 Owners Manual (in English)

Black plate (54,1)
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 inflates 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
windshield 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 inflates 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 supplemental restraint system after the air bags
have inflated:
Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the air bags
have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very hot. You could
get burned.
Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle:
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo bar,
bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is dangerous. The
air bag crash sensor system could be affected. This could cause air bags to inflate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from inflating during an accident.
Front occupants could be seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension:
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle's height or the
suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision
resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious
injuries.

CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
ØDo not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the
radiator grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor, and do not
replace the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a
genuine product designed for use with the radar sensor.
ØThe radar sensor includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's
front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it
may require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow.
If this occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the
radar sensor clean.
ØDo not install a grille guard.
ØIf the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the
position of the radar sensor may have moved. Stop the system immediately and
always have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
ØDo not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor could be hit and its
position deviated.
ØDo not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor.
ØFor repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
ØDo not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modified, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.

CAUTION
ØDo not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the
suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
ØDo not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). Otherwise, the system will not
operate normally.
ØHeed the following cautions to assure correct operation of the LDWS.
ØDo not place objects on the dashboard which reflect light.
ØKeep the area of the windshield glass near the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
clean.
ØDo not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windshield near the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there are objects in front of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) lens, even a transparent sticker, they will obstruct the lens and
cause the system to not operate correctly.
ØBefore performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
ØAlways keep the windshield glass around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
clean. If the windshield fogs, defog it using the front defroster.
ØWhen cleaning the windshield, do not allow glass cleaners or similar cleaning
fluids to get on the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In addition, do not
touch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
ØConsult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning the interior side of the
windshield around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
