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 expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) safely dispose of the air bag
system or scrap an air bag equipped
vehicle.NOTE
xWhen 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.
xShould you sell your Mazda, we urge
you to tell the new owner of its air
bag systems and that familiarization
with all instructions about them,
from the Owner's Manual, is
important.
xThis highly-visible label warns against
the use of a rear-facing
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat.

Sunroof*
▼Sunroof
The sunroof can be opened or closed
when operating the overhead tilt/slide
switch at the front seats.
WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or
extend part of the body through the
open sunroof while the vehicle is
moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the sunroof
is dangerous. The head or arms could
hit something while the vehicle is
moving. This could cause serious injury
or death.
Never allow children to play with the
tilt/slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow
children to operate the sunroof
unintentionally, which could result in
serious injury if a child's hands, head
or neck becomes caught by the
sunroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the sunroof:
A closing sunroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person,
especially a child, could be caught in it
as it closes, causing serious injury or
even death.
Make sure nothing blocks the sunroof
just before it reaches the fully closed
position:
Blocking the sunroof just before it
reaches the closed position is
dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the sunroof from
closing. If fingers are caught, serious
injuries could occur.
CAUTION
¾Do not sit on or put heavy items on
the area where the sunroof opens
and closes. Otherwise, the sunroof
could be damaged.
¾Do not open or close the sunroof
forcefully during freezing
temperatures or snowfall. Otherwise,
the sunroof could be damaged.
¾The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push
it up.
¾Do not close the sunshade while the
sunroof is opening. Trying to force
the sunshade closed could damage
it.
▼Tilt/Slide Operation
The sunroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition is
switched ON.
xBefore leaving the vehicle or washing
your Mazda, make sure the sunroof
is completely closed so that water
does not get inside the cabin area.
xAfter washing your Mazda or after it
rains, wipe the water off the sunroof
before operating it to avoid water

Theft-Deterrent System*
▼Theft-Deterrent System
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle or
the intrusion sensor detects movement
in the vehicle which could result in the
vehicle (with the intrusion sensor) or
its contents being stolen, the alarm
alerts the surrounding area of an
abnormality by sounding the siren/
horn and flashing the hazard warning
lights.
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
*
The intrusion sensor uses ultrasonic
waves to detect movement inside the
vehicle and to raise an alert of an
intrusion into the vehicle.
The intrusion sensor detects certain
kinds of movement inside the vehicle,
however, it may also respond to
phenomenon outside the vehicle such
as vibrations, loud noise, wind, and air
currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to
operate appropriately, be aware of the
following:
¾Do not hang clothing or objects from
a head restraint or a coat hook.
¾Return the extension sunvisors to
their original positions.
¾Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
¾Do not allow the intrusion sensor to
get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
¾Do not shock or cause an impact to
the intrusion sensor or the intrusion
sensor bezel.
¾Do not install seats that are not
Mazda genuine products.
¾To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are
higher than the head restraints.
