bag deactivation switch is turned to the
ON position.
NOTE
Have the passenger-side 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-side
air bag deactivation switch is in the
