Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include different types of air bags.
Please verify the different types of air bags which are equippe d on your vehicle by
locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area
where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:

•The steering wheel h ub (driver air bag)
•The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)
•The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags)
•The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags)


The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to prov ide supplemental protection
in certain situations so seat bel ts are always important in the following ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate p rotection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:
•Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.
•Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is n ot designed for air bag
inflation, such as rear impact.
•Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions or roll-over
accidents that are not severe enough to activate the air bags.
•Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
•Reduce the possibility of injurie s to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.
•Hold the driver in a position wh ich allows better control of the vehicle.

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 supplemental restraint system could be damaged, and in the event of a side
collision, the appropriate air bags may not de ploy, which could result in death or serious
injury. To prevent damage to the components essential to the supplemental 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 preten sioner system components must be replaced
after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a trained Authorized
Mazda Dealer can fully evaluate these systems to see that they will work in any subsequent
accident. Driving with an expended or dama ged 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 dashboard, 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 injuri es. Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
remove these parts.
Properly dispose of the air bag system:
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely
dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer safely dispose of the air bag sy stem or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.
NOTE
•If it becomes necessary to have the components or wiring system for the supplementary
restraint system modified to accommodate a person with certain medical conditions in
accordance with a certified physician, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer, refer to
“Customer Assistance (U.S.A.)” (page 8-2).
•When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation noise can be heard and some smoke will be
released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags may cause
light skin injuries on body parts not covered with clothing through friction.
•Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag systems and
that familiarization with all instructi ons about them, from the Owner's Manual, is
important.

▼Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the fr
ont passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Ba g Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-55).
In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only de ploy when the front passenger
occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on t he front passenger's seat. For
details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification s ystem (page 2-58).
▼Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the fron
t seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a s ide impact of greater than moderate force, the
system inflates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side air
bag inflates quickly to reduce i njury to the driver or front passenger's chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Ba g Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-55).
In addition, the front passenger side bag is designed to only d eploy when the front passenger
occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on t he front passenger's seat. For
details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification s ystem (page 2-58).

Keys
WA R N I N G
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. 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.
CAUTION
Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may not
function correctly under the following
conditions:
 The key is carried with communication
devices such as 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
hood, under direct sunlight.
 Expose the key to any kind of magnetic
field.
 Place heavy objects on the key.
 Put the key in an ultrasonic cleaner.
 Put any magnetized objects close to
the key.

A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and convenient
place, but not in the vehicle.

If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult
your Authorized Mazda Dealer and have
your code number ready.

doors and the liftgate in the event the
vehicle is involved in an accident to
allow passengers to get out of the
vehicle immediately and prevent being
trapped inside. While the ignition is
switched ON and in the event the vehicle
receives an impact strong enough to
inflate the air bags, all the doors and the
liftgate are automatically unlocked after
about 6 seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident.
The doors and the liftgate may not
unlock depending on how an impact is
applied, the force of the impact, and
other conditions of the accident.
