If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Seat Belt Warning Beep
Except Mexico
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition is switched ON, a beep
sound will be heard for about 6 seconds.
If the driver or the passenger's seat belt is
not fastened and the vehicle is driven at a
speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph),
a beep sound will be heard again for a
specified period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
 To allow the passenger occupant
classification sensor to function
properly, do not place and sit on
an additional seat cushion on the
passenger's seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
 If a small child is seated on the
passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
Mexico
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20 km/h
(12 mph) with the driver or passenger's
seat belt unfastened, a warning beep
sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
passenger's seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
 Placing heavy items on the passenger's
seat may cause the passenger's seat belt
warning function to operate depending
on the weight of the item.
 To allow the passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause
sensor interference.
 If a small child is seated on the
passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP)
Warning Beep
If the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switched to ACC, a beep will
be heard continuously in the cabin to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been switched OFF (STOP). Under this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked,
and the battery voltage will be depleted.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Event Data Recorder
Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an\
air bag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a\
vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
 How various systems in your vehicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fasten\
ed; How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or b\
rake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances \
in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash or near crash-like situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information i\
f they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.
Mazda will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third party unless:
 A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is obtained Officially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities Used as a defense for Mazda in a law suit, claim, or arbitration Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
 Use the data for research on Mazda vehicle performance, including safety\
. Disclose the data or the summarized data to a third party for research p\
urposes without
disclosing vehicle or owner identification information.
