qHow the Side Air Bags Workí
When air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, an
electrical current is sent to the inflators.
Gases are produced to inflate the side air bags and after the inflation, the side air bags
quickly deflate.
The side air bags will function only once. After that,the side air bags will not work again
and must be replaced.Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can replace the systems.
The side air bag will deploy only
on the side the vehicle receives the
force of the impact.
WARNING
Damaged Side Air Bag Wiring under the Front Seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The side air bag
wiring could be damaged, and in the event of a side collision, the side air bags may
not deploy, which could result in death or serious injury. To prevent damage to the
side air bag wiring, do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats.
qAir Bag Activation/Deactivation
NOTE
If the front passenger seat weight sensors detect a total seated weight on the front
passenger seat is less than approximately 42 kg (93 lb), the front passenger front and side
air bags and seat belt pretensioner may not inflate (page 2-63).

systems to see that they will work in
the next accident. Driving with an
