When the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light comes on for

2. Turn the key clockwise until the key
points to OFF.
3. Remove the key.

deactivation switch is turned to the ON
position.
NOTE
Have the passenger air bag
deactivation switch inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer if any of
these conditions occur:
• The indicator doesn
’t come on
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.
• The indicator doesn
’t remain on
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and the passenger air
bag deactivation switch is in the

Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving a child or an animal
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. In hot weather,
temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death. Always take all
children and animals with you or
leave a responsible person with them.
Keys and Children:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. They could play with power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move. Don ’t leave
the keys in your vehicle with children
and keep them in a place where your
children will not find or play with
them.

Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall
out if a door is accidentally opened
and can more easily be thrown out in
an accident. So keep all doors locked
when driving.
NOTE
Always remove the key from the
ignition switch, close all windows, and
lock all doors and the trunk lid when
leaving your vehicle unattended. This
discourages intruders and thieves.
