NOTE
Have the front passenger air bag deactivation switch inspected by an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) if any of these conditions occur:
xThe front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate for a
specified period of time when the ignition is switched ON.
xThe front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn
off after a
short period of time when the ignition is switched ON (front passenger air bag
deactivation switch is in ON position).
▼Switch Positions
Before driving, always confirm that the
front passenger air bag deactivation
switch is in the appropriate position
using the auxiliary key according to
your requirements.
WARNING
Do not leave the key in the front
passenger air bag deactivation switch:
Unintentional deactivation of the front
passenger air bag is dangerous. In an
accident, the front passenger will not
be properly protected. Serious injuries
or even death could occur. To avoid
unintentional deactivation, always use
the auxiliary key stored in the
transmitter body currently being used
to operate the front passenger air bag
deactivation switch. After deactivating
the air bag, put the auxiliary key back
into the transmitter body. That way you
will not leave the key in the front
passenger air bag deactivation switch.
