Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) Precautions
▼ 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 equipped on your
vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG”
location in dicators. These indicators are
visible in the area where the air bags are
installed.
The air bags are insta lled in the following
locations:

The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
The front passenger dashboard (front
passenger air bag)
Under the instrument panel (driver and
front passenger
* knee air bags)
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)

Vehicles with the Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System have a
sensor which detects an impending
roll-over accident.

The air bag supplemental restraint systems
are designed to provide supplemental
protection in certain situations so seat belts
are always important in the following
ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags
cannot provide adequate protection 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 not 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 injuries to
lower body and legs during an accident
because the air bags provide no
protection to these p arts of the body.
Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.

▼Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted in
the front passenger dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the front
passenger air bag is the same as the
driver's air bag.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Crite
ria" (page 2-68).
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
In addition, the front passenger air bag is
designed to only deploy in accordance
with the total seated weight on the front
passenger seat. For details, refer to the
front passenger occupant classification
system (page 2-71).
▼ Driver and Front Passenger Knee
Air Bags*
The knee air bags are equipped under the
instrument panel.
If the air bag crash
sensors receive a
frontal impact of greater than moderate
force, the knee air bags deploy
immediately to reduce impact to the driver
and front passenger's legs.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-68).
▼ Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the
outboard sides of the front seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a
side 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
injury 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 Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-68).

NOTE
The keys carry a unique electronic code.
For this reason, and to assure your
safety, obtaining a replacement key
requires some waiting time. They are
only available through an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Always keep a spare key in case one is
lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
If you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda
Dealer will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.
▼Operation
NOTE
The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or flash if
the key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in
the glove compartment. Move the key to
a location within
the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine.
Signals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer
system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster fla shes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.

Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition
is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
flashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart the
engine. If the engine d oes not start after 3
or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
If the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is flashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are reset
when the immobilizer system is repaired,
the keys are needed. Make sure to bring
all the keys to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer so that they can be programmed.
