Constant Monitoring
The following components of the air bag
systems are monitored by a diagnostic
system:
•SAS unit
•Front air bag sensor
•Air bag modules
•Side crash sensor
*
•Front seat belt pretensioners
•Related wiring
•Driver seat slide position sensor
•Front passenger seat weight sensors
•Driver and front passenger seat belt
buckle switches
The diagnostic module continuously
monitors the system’s readiness. This
begins when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position and continues while
the vehicle is being driven.

Air Bag/Front Seat Belt
Pretensioner System Warning
Light
If the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner
system is normal, the warning light
illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or after the
engine is cranked. After about 6 seconds it
goes out.
A system malfunction is indicated when
the warning light constantly flashes,
illuminates or doesn’t illuminate at all
when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position. If any of these occur, do not
allow a person to sit on the front
passenger seat and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The
system may not work in an accident.
Self-Servicing the Air Bag/
Pretensioner Systems:
Self-servicing or tampering with the
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally
activate or become disabled. This
could cause serious injuries. Never
tamper with the systems and always
have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
perform all servicing and repairs.

Maintenance
The air bag systems do not require regular
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.
•The air bag system warning light
illuminates.
•The air bag system warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position.
•The air bags inflate.
•Front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position or does not illuminate
as indicated in the chart. For more
details about this indicator light and
this chart, refer to "Front passenger
seat weight sensors (page 2-63)".
Damaged Air Bag System
Components:
Driving with damaged air bag system
components is dangerous. A collision,
even one not strong enough to inflate
the air bags, could damage the system
components. If there was a
subsequent collision, a damaged
component would not inflate the air
bags. Always have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer inspect the air bag
systems after a collision.
Removing Interior Parts:
Removing any components such as
the front seats (if side air bags are
equipped), front dashboard, the
steering wheel or parts containing air
bag parts or sensors is dangerous.
These parts contain essential air bag
components. The air bag could
accidentally activate and cause
serious injuries. Always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer remove
these parts.
Air Bag Disposal:
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.
