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 (non-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:
 A front passenger is seated as shown in the following fi gure:

 A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet. Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between the front passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger seat bottom.

NOTE
  The system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the front passenger
front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.
  The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on repeatedly if luggage
or other items are put on the front passenger seat, or if the temperature of the vehicle's
interior changes suddenly.
  The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10 se\
conds if the
electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.
  The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the front
passenger seat receives a severe impact.
  If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on afte\
r installing
a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, fi rst, re-install your child-restraint
system according to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light still does not turn on, install the chi\
ld-restraint system on
the rear seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
   If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an occu\
pant
is seated directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture
by sitting with their feet on the fl oor, and then re-fastening the seat belt. If the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator light remains turned on, move the passenger to
the rear seat. If sitting in the rear seat is not possible, slide the front passenger seat as far
back as possible. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with

your children will not fi nd or play with
them: Leaving children in a vehicle with the

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.

cellular phones.
 The key contacts or is covered by a metal object.
 The key is near electronic devices such as personal computers.
 Non-Mazda genuine electronic equipment is installed in the vehicle.
 There is equipment which discharges radio waves near the vehicle.
 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.
 To avoid damage to the key (transmitter), DO NOT:
 Drop the key. Get the key wet. Disassemble the key. Expose the key to high temperatures on places such as the dashboard or

when the ignition is switched off. The
system does not operate if the ignition is
switched to any position other than off.
  If the key does not operate when
pressing a button or the operational
range becomes too small, the battery
may be weak. To install a new battery,
refer to Key Battery Replacement (page
6-36 ).
  Battery life is about one year. Replace
the battery with a new one if the KEY
indicator light (green) fl ashes in the
instrument cluster (for vehicles with
a type A instrument cluster (page
4-32 ), messages are displayed in
the instrument cluster). Replacing
the battery about once a year is
recommended because the KEY warning
light/indicator light may not illuminate
or fl ash depending on the rate of battery
depletion.

  Additional keys can be obtained at
an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Up to
6 keys can be used with the keyless
