NOTE
xThe pretensioner system may not
operate depending on the type of the
collision. For details, refer to the SRS
Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page 2-
61).
xSome smoke (non-toxic gas) will be
released when the air bags and
pretensioners deploy. This does not
indicate a fire. This gas normally has no
effect on occupants, however, those with
sensitive skin may experience light skin
irritation. If residue from the
deployment of the air bags or the
pretensioner system gets on the skin or
in the eyes, wash it off as soon as
possible.

Even in a moderate collision, the child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air bag and
moved violently backward resulting in serious injury or death to the child.
(Taiwan, except front passenger seat, if equipped with the following label)
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front
of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it is
unavoidable:
In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child. If
installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is unavoidable,
move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust the seat bottom (height
adjustable seat bottom) to the highest position at which the seat belt fastening the
child-restraint system is securely tightened.
Seating a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is dangerous under
certain conditions (With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System):
Your vehicle is equipped with front passenger occupant classification sensor. Even with the
front passenger occupant classification sensor, if you must use the front passenger seat to
seat a child, using a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat under the following
conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air bag deploying and could result in
serious injury or death to the child.
¾The front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light does not illuminate when
seating a child in the child-restraint system.

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.
