Front Passenger Occupant Classification Systemí
First, please read“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions”(page 2-44)
carefully.
qFront Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification sensor as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. This sensor is equipped in the front passenger's seat
cushion. This sensor measures the electrostatic capacity of the front passenger's seat. The
SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt
pretensioner system from deploying if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light turns on.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front passenger air bag, the
system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and also the seat belt
pretensioner system when the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on.
Refer to the following table for the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light
illumination conditions.
This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner
system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on
according to the following table.
The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes and the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates if the sensors have a possible
malfunction. If this happens, the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt
pretensioner system will not deploy.

The curtain air bag is ready for inflating regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart indicates.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on when the ignition
is switched ON and does not turn on as indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light on/off condition chart, do not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger
seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The system may not
work properly in an accident.
WARNING
Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which
makes it difficult for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the
occupant correctly:
Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it difficult for the
front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occupant correctly is
dangerous. If the front passenger occupant classification sensor cannot detect the
occupant sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly, the front passenger front
and side air bags and pretensioner system may not operate (deploy) or they may
operate (deploy) accidentally. The front passenger will not have the supplementary
protection of the air bags or the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags
could result in serious injury or death.
Under the following conditions, the front passenger occupant classification sensor
cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly and the
deployment/non-deployment of the air bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the
front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For
example:

NOTElThe 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.
lThe front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on repeatedly if luggage or
other items are put on the front passenger seat, or if the temperature of the vehicle's interior
changes suddenly.
lThe front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds if the
electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.
lThe air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the front passenger
seat receives a severe impact.
lIf the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing a child-
restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, 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 turn on, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
lIf the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an occupant is seated

feet on the floor, and then re-fastening the seat belt. If the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light remains turned on, 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

vehicle.
ØThe 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.
ØTo avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
ØDrop the key.
ØGet the key wet.
