Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
*Some models.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include different types of air bags.
Please verify which kinds of air bags are equipped on your vehicle by locating the
“SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area where the air
bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:

 


y The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)



y The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)



y The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) * 



y The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags) *

Vehicles with the Front Passenger Occupant Classi¿ cation System have a sensor which
detects an impending roll-over accident.

The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide supplemental protection
in certain situations so seat belts are always important in the following ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:
 


y Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inÀ ating air bag.



y Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag
inÀ ation, such as rear impact.




y Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions or roll-over
accidents that are not severe enough to activate the air bags.
 


y Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.



y Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.
 


y Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The components
essential to the supplemental restraint system could be damaged, and in the event of
a side collision, the appropriate air bags may not deploy, which could result in death
or serious injury. To prevent damage to the components essential to the supplemental
restraint system, do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats.

Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system
components:
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components must be
replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a trained
Authorized Mazda Dealer can fully evaluate these systems to see that they will work in
any subsequent accident. Driving with an expended or damaged air bag or pretensioner
unit will not aff ord you the necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident
which could result in serious injury or death.

Do not remove interior air bag parts:
Removing any components such as the front seats, front dashboard, the steering wheel
or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge, 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.

Properly dispose of the air bag system:
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 could result. Have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer safely dispose of the air bag system or scrap an air bag
equipped vehicle.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
*Some models.
Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger dashboard.
The inÀ ation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag, as
mentioned above.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-53 ).
(With Front Passenger Occupant Classi¿ cation System)
In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only deploy in accordance with the
total seated weight on the front passenger seat. For details, refer to the front passenger
occupant classi¿ cation system (page 2-56 ).


Side Air Bags *
The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the
system inÀ ates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side
air bag inÀ ates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger's chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-53 ).

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not fi nd or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may fi nd these keys to
be an interesting toy to play with and
could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even make
the vehicle move.

CAUTION
 


¾ Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may not
function correctly under the following
conditions:
 


¾ The key is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
 


¾ The key contacts or is covered by a
metal object.
 


¾ The key is near electronic devices such
as personal computers.
 


¾ Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the vehicle.
 


¾ There is equipment which discharges
radio waves near the vehicle.
 


¾ The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it receives
high-intensity radio waves. Do not place
the key near electronic devices such as
televisions or personal computers.
 


¾ To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
 


¾ Drop the key.



¾ Get the key wet.



¾ Disassemble the key.



¾ Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the dashboard or

¾ Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic fi eld.
 


¾ Place heavy objects on the key.



¾ Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner.



¾ Put any magnetized objects close to
the key.



A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and convenient
place, but not in the vehicle.

Security System
N O T E
 


y The keys carry a unique electronic code.
For this reason, and to assure your
safety, obtaining a replacement key
requires some waiting time. They are
only available through an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
 


y Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
 


y If you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda
Dealer will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
  Starting the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.

Operation
N O T E
 


y The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or À ash
if the key is placed in an area where it
is dif¿ cult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in
the glove compartment. Move the key
to a location within the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine.
 


y Signals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer
system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light.

Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster À ashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.



Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
À ashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart the
engine. If the engine does not start after
3 or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
N O T E
 


y If the security indicator light À ashes
continuously while you are driving,
do not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is À ashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
 


y Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system
is repaired, the keys are needed.
Make sure to bring all the keys to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer so that they
can be programmed.
