Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the air

Driving the vehicle with the air bag/

heard again for a specified period of time.NOTE
lSome models do not have the seat belt
warning function for the front passenger's
seat.

warning function to operate depending on
the weight of the item.
lTo 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

passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
