maintenance. But if any of the following
occurs, take your vehicle to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible:
•
The air bag system warning light
flashes.
•

on.
•

damaged sensor would not inflate the
air bags. Always have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer inspect the air bag
systems after a collision.

the front seat, front dashboard, the
steering wheel or parts on the front
and rear window pillars

Dealer remove these parts.
*If equipped with side or curtain air
bags.

Improper disposal of an air bag or a
vehicle with live air bags in it can be
extremely dangerous. Unless all
safety procedures are followed, injury
can result. Ask an Authorized Mazda
Dealer how to safely dispose of an air
bag or how to scrap an air bag
equipped vehicle.
