Do not modify a front door or leave any damage unrepaired. Always have an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer inspect a damaged front door:
Modifying a front door or leaving any damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each front door has a
side crash sensor as a component of the supplementary restraint system. If holes are drilled in
a front door, a door speaker is left removed, or a damaged door is left unrepaired, the sensor
could be adversely affected causing it to not detect the pressure of an impact correctly during
a side collision. If a sensor does not detect a side impact correctly, the side and curtain air
bags and the front seat belt pretensioner may not operate normally which could result in
serious injury to occupants.
Do not modify the supplementary restraint system:
Modifying the components or wiring of the supplementary restraint system is dangerous. You
could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not make any modifications to the
supplementary restraint system. This includes installing trim, badges, or anything else over
the air bag modules. It also includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system
components or wiring. An expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer can
provide the special care needed in the removal and installation of front seats. It is important
to protect the air bag wiring and connections to assure that the bags do not accidentally
deploy, and that the driver seat slide position sensor is not damaged and the seats retain an
undamaged air bag connection.
Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The components
essential to the supplementary restraint system could be damaged, and in the event of a side
collision, the appropriate air bags may not deploy, which could result in death or serious
injury. To prevent damage to the components essential to the supplementary restraint
system, do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats.
Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components:
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components must be replaced
after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a trained expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer can fully evaluate these systems to
see that they will work in any subsequent accident. Driving with an expended or damaged air
bag or pretensioner unit will not afford you the necessary protection in the event of any
subsequent accident which could result in serious injury or death.
Do not remove interior air bag parts:
Removing any components such as the front seats, front instrument panel, the steering wheel
or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge, containing air bag
parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts contain essential air bag components. The air bag
could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries. Always have an Authorised Mazda
Repairer remove these parts.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with

Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed. Children
may find 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.

Always take all children and pets with you
or leave a responsible person with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a
parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not
find or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed.
Always close all the windows and sunroof,
lock the doors and the liftgate/boot lid and
take the key with you when leaving your
vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous
as children could lock themselves in a hot
vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a
vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy
target for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the liftgate/
boot lid, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is
driven with a door and the liftgate/boot lid
not securely closed, the door and the
liftgate/boot lid could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the liftgate/
boot lid is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
¾Always
confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use
caution during strong winds or when
parked on an incline. Not being aware of
the conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door and the liftgate/boot
lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.
NOTE
xAlways stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside the
cabin.
xIf the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may
be locked depending on the radio wave
conditions even if the key is left in the
vehicle.
xAround the instrument panel
xIn the storage compartments such as
the glove compartment or the centre
