2–11
Essential Safety Equipment
Seat Belt Systems
Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt: Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the belt webbing
of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide adequate protection in a
collision. Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect all seat belt systems in use during an
accident before they are used again.

Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load limiter has been
expended: Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer immediately inspect the seat belt pretensioners
and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the seat belt pretensioners and load
limiters will only function once and must be replaced after any collision that caused them
to deploy. A seat belt with an expended pretensioner or load limiter is still better than
wearing no seat belt at all; however, if the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are
not replaced, the risk of injury in a collision will increase.

Positioning the Shoulder Portion of the Seat Belt: Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous. Always make
sure the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positioned across your shoulder and near your
neck, but never under your arm, on your neck, or on your upper arm.

Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt: The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision, this would
concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area, causing serious injury. Wear
the lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as possible.
CAUTION
Belt retraction may become diffi cult if the belts and rings are soiled, so try to keep them
clean. For more details about cleaning the seat belts, refer to "Cleaning the Lap/Shoulder
Belt Webbing" (page 6-66 ).

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
.CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
 


¾ Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator
grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), and do not replace
the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the radar sensor (front).
 


¾ The radar sensor (front) includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's
front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this
occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the radar sensor
(front) clean.
 


¾ Do not install a grille guard.



¾ If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of
the radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always
have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


¾ Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its
position deviated.
 


¾ Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).



¾ For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


¾ Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modifi ed, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a
vehicle ahead or an obstruction.

Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto
Rico)
Follow Schedule 1 if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions
(severe driving conditions)apply.
 


y Repeated short-distance driving



y Driving in dusty conditions



y Driving with extended use of brakes



y Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used



y Driving on rough or muddy roads



y Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation



y Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates



y Driving in extremely hot conditions



y Driving in mountainous conditions continually
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2. (Canada and Puerto Rico residents follow Schedule 2.)
Vehicles using Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance
Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose
vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions apply:
 


y Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving
school car
 


y Driving in dusty conditions
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil fi xed maintenance.
Once engine oil fl exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life
based on engine operating conditions. The vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due
by illuminating the wrench indicator light in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon
as possible within the next 500 km (300 miles) or 15 days. Refer page 6-20 for the details.
Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil and Castrol
® 0W-20 Oil are required to achieve optimum
performance.
NOTE
 


y Please ensure that the Flexible Oil Maintenance Setting is reset after each Oil and Filter
replacement.
 


y For maintenance guidelines beyond the miles/months listed, follow the maintenance
intervals provided in the Scheduled Maintenance Tables.
