Front Passenger Occupant Classification System*
First, please read "Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions" (page 2-41)
carefully.
▼ Front Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classi
fication sensor as a part of
the supplementary restraint system. This sensor is equipped in the front passenger's seat
cushion. This sensor measures the electrostatic capacity of the front passenger's seat. The
SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt
pretensioner system from deploying if the front passenger air b ag deactivation OFF
indicator light turns on.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the fr ont passenger air bag, the
system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and also the seat belt
pretensioner system when the front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light turns
on. Refer to the following table for the front passenger air ba g deactivation indicator light
illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner
system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation i ndicator light turns on
according to the following table.

The air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes and the front passenger air
bag deactivation OFF indicator li ght illuminates if the sensors have a possible malfunction.
If this happens, the front passenger front and side air bags an d seat belt pretensioner system
will not deploy.
Front passenger air bag deac tivation indicator lights
These indicator lights turn on to remind you that the front passenger front and side air bags
and seat belt pretensioner will or will not deploy during a col lision.

*1 The occupant classification sensor may not detect a child seat ed on the seat, in a child-restraint system, or a
junior seat depending on the ch ild'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 inflating regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/ off condition chart indicates.
If both of the front pa ssenger air bag deactivation indicator l ights do not turn on for a
specified period of time when the ignition is switched ON or they do not turn on as
indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart, do
not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger seat and co nsult an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible. The system may not work properly in an accident.
WA R N I N G
Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which makes it
difficult for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occupant
correctly:
Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it difficult for the front
passenger occupant
classification sensor to detect the occupant correctly is dangerous. If the
front passenger occupant classification sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting on the front
passenger's seat correctly, the front passeng er front and side air bags and pretensioner
system may not operate (non-deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally. The front
passenger will not have the supplementary prot ection of the air bags or the accidental
operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious injury or death.
