Seat belt reminder
NOTE
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to deactivate or restore the belt reminder. Though the belt
reminder can be deactivated, doing so will defeat the purpose of the syst\
em to warn the driver and
the front passenger in the event that their seat belts are not fastened. For the safety of the driver
and front passenger, Mazda recommends not deactivating the belt reminder.
Front seat
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt \
unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
NOTE
Some models do not have the seat belt reminder function for the front passenger's seat.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat is
occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/\
h (12 mph), the warning
light will fl ash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning light stops fl ashing,
but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops.
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
yThe warning light fl ashes and a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.
yIf a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off (\
warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), \
the warning light fl ashes
and beep sound activates again.
yPlacing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
y To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function properly because
the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
yWhen a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light will not operate.
Door-Ajar Warning Light The light turns on if any door is not closed
securely.
Close the door securely.
