Supplementary Restraint
System (SRS) Precautions
▼Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplementary
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 indicators.
These indicators are visible in the area
where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the
following locations:
xThe steering wheel hub (driver air
bag)
xThe front passenger instrument panel
(front passenger air bag)
xUnder the instrument panel (driver
knee air bag)
xThe outboard sides of the front
seatbacks (side air bags)
xThe front and rear window pillars,
and the roof edge along both sides
(curtain air bags)

Some vehicles have a sensor which
detects an impending roll-over
accident.

The air bag supplementary restraint
systems are designed to provide
supplementary 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:
xKeep the occupant from being
thrown into an
inflating air bag.
xReduce the possibility of injuries
during an accident that is not
designed for air bag inflation, such as
rear impact.
xReduce 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.
xReduce the possibility of being
thrown from your vehicle.
xReduce the possibility of injuries to
lower body and legs during an
accident because the air bags
provide no protection to these parts
of the body.
xHold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.

A child who is too small to use a seat
belt must be properly secured using a
child-restraint system (page 2-27).

Carefully consider which child-restraint
system is necessary for your child and
follow the installation directions in this
Owner's Manual as well as the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.

WARNING
Seat belts must be worn in air bag
equipped vehicles:
Depending only on the air bags for
protection during an accident is
dangerous. Alone, air bags may not
prevent serious injuries. The
appropriate air bags can be expected
to inflate only in the first accident, such
as frontal, near frontal or side collisions
or roll-over accidents that are at least
moderate. Vehicle occupants should
always wear seat belts.

Children should not ride in the front
passenger seat:
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in
the front seat is dangerous. The child
could be hit by a deploying air bag and
be seriously injured or even killed. A
sleeping child is more likely to lean
against the door and be hit by the side
air bag in moderate collision to the
front-passenger side of the vehicle.
Whenever possible, always secure a
child 12 years and under on the rear
seats with an appropriate
child-restraint system for the child's
age and size.
Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat with an air
bag that could deploy:
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.
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. If your vehicle is
equipped with a front passenger air
bag deactivation switch, always set the
switch to the OFF position when
installing a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat.

Do not sit too close to the driver and
front passenger air bags:
Sitting too close to the driver and front
passenger air bag modules or placing
hands or feet on them is extremely
dangerous. The driver and front
passenger air bags inflate with great
force and speed. Serious injuries could
occur if someone is too close. The
driver should always hold onto only the
rim of the steering wheel. The front
seat passenger should keep both feet
on the floor. Front seat occupants
should adjust their seats as far back as
possible and always sit upright against
the seatbacks with seat belts worn
properly.

Sit in the centre of the seat and wear
seat belts properly:
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the windows is extremely
dangerous. The side and curtain air
bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on
the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too
close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab
the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to
work by sitting in the centre of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat
belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where driver and front
passenger air bags deploy:
Attaching an object to the driver and
front passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is
dangerous. In an accident, an object
could interfere with air bag
inflation
and injure the occupants.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where a side air bag deploys:
Attaching objects to the front seat in
such a way as to cover the outboard
side of the seat in any way is
dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the side air bag,
which inflates from the outboard side
of the front seats, impeding the added
protection of the side air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is
dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could
be cut open releasing the gas.Do not hang net bags, map pouches or
backpacks with side straps on the front
seats. Never use seat covers on the
front seats. Always keep the side air
bag modules in your front seats free to
deploy in the event of a side collision.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where a curtain air bag
deploys:
Attaching objects to the areas where
the curtain air bag activates such as on
the windscreen glass, side door glass,
front and rear window pillars and
along the roof edge and assist grips is
dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the curtain air bag,
which inflates from the front and rear
window pillars and along the roof
edge, impeding the added protection
of the curtain air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is
dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could
be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other
objects on the assist grips. When
hanging clothes, hang them on the
coat hook directly. Always keep the
curtain air bag modules free to deploy
in the event of a side collision or
roll-over accident.
Do not touch the components of the
supplementary restraint system after
the air bags have
inflated:
Touching the components of the
supplementary restraint system after
the air bags have
inflated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are
very hot. You could get burned.

Never install any front-end equipment
to your vehicle:
Installation of front-end equipment,
such as frontal protection bar
(kangaroo bar, bull bar, push bar, or
other similar devices), snowplow, or
winches, is dangerous. The air bag
crash sensor system could be affected.
This could cause air bags to inflate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the
air bags from inflating during an
accident. Front occupants could be
seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension:
Modifying the vehicle suspension is
dangerous. If the vehicle's height or
the suspension is modified, the vehicle
will be unable to accurately detect a
collision or roll-over accident resulting
in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
Do not modify a front door or leave
any damage unrepaired. Always have
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) inspect a
damaged front door:
Modifying a front door or leaving any
damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each
front door has a side crash sensor as a
component of the supplementary
restraint system. If holes are drilled in a
front door, a door speaker is left
removed, or a damaged door is left
unrepaired, the sensor could be
adversely
affected causing it to not
detect the pressure of an impact
correctly during a side collision. If a
sensor does not detect a side impact
correctly, the side and curtain air bags
and the seat belt pretensioners may
not operate normally which could
result in serious injury to occupants.Do not modify the supplementary
restraint system:
Modifying the components or wiring of
the supplementary restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable. Do
not make any modifications to the
supplementary restraint system. This
includes installing trim, badges, or
anything else over the air bag modules.
It also includes installing extra
electrical equipment on or near system
components or wiring. An expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) can
provide the special care needed in the
removal and installation of front seats.
It is important to protect the air bag
wiring and connections to assure that
the bags do not accidentally deploy,
and that the driver seat slide position
sensor is not damaged and the seats
retain an undamaged air bag
connection.
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
supplementary restraint system could
be damaged, and in the event of a side
collision, the appropriate air bags may
not deploy, which could result in death
or serious injury. To prevent damage to
the components essential to the
supplementary 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 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.

Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch*
▼Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch
WARNING
Do not deactivate the front passenger air bag unnecessarily:
Unnecessary deactivation of the front passenger air bag is dangerous. If turned
off
unnecessarily, the front passenger will not receive the added protection of the air
bag. Serious injuries or even death could occur. With the exception of installing a
child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, do not turn the air bag
deactivation switch to the OFF position.

The front passenger air bag deactivation switch should be used to deactivate the
front passenger front and side air bags and also the front passenger seat belt
pretensioner system if installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat.
When the ignition is switched ON, both front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator lights illuminate regardless of the front passenger air bag deactivation
switch position. The indicator light turns off after a specified period of time, then
turns on/off depending on the conditions as indicated in the following table.

▼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.
