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 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 classification 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:
¾A front passenger is seated as shown in the following figure:
¾A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet.
¾Luggage 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.
¾An object, such as a seat cushion, is put on the front passenger's seat or between the
passenger's back and the seatback.
¾A seat cover is put on the front passenger's seat.
¾Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint system.
¾A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback.
¾Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint.
¾The seat is washed.
¾Liquids are spilled on the seat.
¾The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items placed
behind it.
¾The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.
(VVHQWLDO6DIHW\(TXLSPHQW

¾Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.
¾An electric device is put on the front passenger's seat.
¾An additional electrical device, such as a seat warmer is installed to the surface of the front
passenger seat.
The front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner systems will deactivate
if the front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light turns on.
&$87,21
¾To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the sensor in
the front seat cushion:
¾Do not place sharp objects on the front seat cushion or leave heavy luggage on them.
¾Do not spill any liquids on the front seats or under the front seats.
¾To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:
¾Adjust the front seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks
with seat belts worn properly.
¾If you place your child on the passenger seat, secure the child-restraint system properly
and slide the passenger seat as far back as possible within the position in which the
child-restraint system can be installed.
NOTE
xThe 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.
xThe front passenger air bag deactivation OFF 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.
xThe front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds
if the electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.
xThe air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the front
passenger seat receives a severe impact.
xIf the front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light does not turn on after
installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re-install your
child-restraint system according to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the front
passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light still does not turn on, install the
child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible.

656$LU%DJV


xIf the front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light turns on when an occupant
is seated directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture by
sitting with their feet on the floor, and then re-fastening the seat belt. If the front
passenger air bag deactivation OFF 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 Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.

If the active bonnet has activated, always consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the bonnet release handle is pulled after the active bonnet has activated, the bonnet will
rise even further. If the vehicle is driven with the bonnet raised it will obstruct visibility and
could result in an accident. In addition, do not attempt to push the bonnet back down.
Otherwise, it could deform the bonnet or cause injury because the activated bonnet cannot
be lowered manually. Before driving the vehicle to an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer after the active bonnet has activated, make sure that the raised
bonnet does not obstruct vision and drive the vehicle at a low speed.

Do not touch the actuator directly after the active bonnet has activated. Otherwise, it could
result in a burn as the actuator is hot directly after the activation.
