*1 The occupant classi ¿ cation sensor may not detect a child seated on the seat, in a child-restraint system, or a
junior seat depending on the child's physical size and seated posture.
*2 If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the person as being a child depending
on the person's physique.
The curtain air bag is ready for in À ating regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart indicates.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on when the ignition
is switched ON and does not turn on as indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation

WARNING
Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which
makes it diffi cult for the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor to detect the
occupant correctly:
Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it diffi cult for the front
passenger occupant classifi cation sensor to detect the occupant correctly is dangerous.
If the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting
on the front passenger's seat correctly, the front passenger front and side air bags and
pretensioner system may not operate (deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally.
The front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bags or the
accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious injury or death.
Under the following conditions, the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor
cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly and the
deployment/non-deployment of the air bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the
front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example:
¾ A front passenger is seated as shown in the following fi gure:

Constant Monitoring
The following components of the air bag systems are monitored by a diagnostic system:
y Crash sensors, and diagnostic module (SAS unit)
y Front air bag sensors
y Air bag modules
y Side crash sensors
y Air bag/Front seat belt pretensioner system warning light
y Front seat belt pretensioners
y Related wiring
(With Front Passenger Occupant Classi ¿ cation System)
y Front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light
y Front passenger occupant classi ¿ cation sensor
y Front passenger occupant classi ¿ cation module
The diagnostic module continuously monitors the system's readiness. This begins when the
ignition is switched ON and continues while the vehicle is being driven.

Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
Fuel Requirements
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL,
which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum.
This vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.
Fuel Octane Rating * (Anti-knock index)
Regular unleaded fuel
87 [(R
M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above)
* U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline station pumps.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively affect the emission control
system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
CAUTION
¾ USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead to
deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.
¾ This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol by
volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation, or
if the gasoline contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine
is performing poorly.
¾ Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system could be damaged.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are generally
referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common gasoline blend that can be used with your
vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol, such as
ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name "Gasohol".
Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the following may not be
covered by the warranty.
y Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.
y Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
y Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
*Some models.
Active Driving Display *
Optical receiver Mirror
Combiner
WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as
doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
CAUTION
¾ Do not try to adjust the angle or open/close the active driving display manually.
Fingerprints on the display will make it diffi cult to view and using excessive force when
operating it could cause damage.
¾ Do not place objects in the vicinity of the active driving display. The active driving display
may not operate or any interference with its operation could cause damage.
¾ Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are splashed
on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
¾ Do not place objects above the active driving display screen or apply stickers to the
combiner as they will cause interference.
¾ A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is covered,
the display's luminosity will lower making the display diffi cult to view.
¾ Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.
