inflate.

Only one side curtain air bag will
deploy on the side of the vehicle that
receives the force of an impact.
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
In a roll-over:
In response to a vehicle roll-over, both
curtain air bags inflate.

Both curtain air bags will deploy after
the roll-over accident is detected.

*1 (With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
The front passenger front and side air bags, seat belt pretensioner and knee air bag are designed to
deploy depending on the condition of the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
*2(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
In a roll-over accident, the seat belt pretensioners and the curtain air bags deploy.
NOTE
In a frontal
offset collision, the equipped air bags and pretensioners may all deploy
depending on the direction, angle, and rate of impact.

Limitations to SRS Air Bag
▼Limitations to SRS Air Bag
In severe collisions such as those
described previously in "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria", the applicable
SRS air bag equipm
ent will deploy.
However, in some accidents, the
equipment may not deploy depending
on the type of collision and its severity.

Limitations to front/near front
collision detection:
The following illustrations are
examples of front/near front collisions
that may not be detected as severe
enough to deploy the SRS air bag
equipment.

Impacts involving trees or poles

Frontal offset impact to the vehicle

Rear-ending or running under a
truck's tail gate
Limitations to side collision detection:

examples of side collisions that may

Limitations to roll-over detection
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System):
The following illustration is an example
of an accident that may not be
detected as a roll-over accident.
Therefore, the front seat belt
pretensioners and curtain air bags may
not deploy.

Driver and Front
Passenger Occupant
Classification System
*
▼ Driver and Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System
First, please read "Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) Precautions"
(page 2-49) carefully.
▼Driver Seat Slide Position Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a driver
seat slide position
sensor as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. The
sensor is located under the driver seat.
The sensor determines whether the
driver seat is fore or aft of a reference
position and sends the seat position to
the diagnostic module (SAS unit).
The SAS unit is designed to control the
deployment of the driver air bag
depending on how close the driver
seat is to the steering wheel.
The air bag/front seat belt
pretensioner system warning light
flashes if the sensor has a possible
malfunction (page 2-59).
▼ Front Passenger Seat Weight
Sensors
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger seat weight sensors as a part
of the supplemental restraint system.
These sensors are located under both
of the front passenger seat rails. These
sensors determine the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat and
monitor the seat belt buckle for the
front passenger seat. The SAS unit is
designed to prevent the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system from deploying if
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
To reduce the chance of injuries
caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag, the system
deactivates the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and also the seat belt pretensioner
system when the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. Refer to the following
table for the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light
illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system, so make sure the
front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates according to
the following table.

The air bag/front seat belt
pretensioner system warning light
flashes and the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
if the sensors have a possible
malfunction. If this
happens, the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system will not deploy.

bags, and seat belt pretensioners will
not deploy during a collision.
If the front passenger weight sensors
are normal, the indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON. The light turns off after a
few seconds. Then, the indicator light
illuminates or is off under the following
conditions:

physique.
The curtain air bag is ready for inflating
regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/off condition
chart indicates.

If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate when the ignition is
switched ON and does not illuminate
as indicated in the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light on/off
condition chart, do not allow a child to
sit in the front passenger seat and
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
as soon as possible. The system may
not work properly in an accident.
WARNING
Do not decrease the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat:
When an adult or large child sits on the
front passenger seat, decreasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat required for air bag
deployment is dangerous. The front
passenger seat we ight sensors will
detect the reduced total seated weight
condition and the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and the seat belt pretensioner system
will not deploy during an accident. The
front passenger will not have the
supplementary protection of the air
bag, which could result in serious
injury. Decreasing the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat
could result in an air bag not deploying
under the following conditions, for
example:

A front passenger is seated as shown
in the following figure:A rear passenger pushes up on the
front passenger seat with their feet.
 Luggage or other items placed under
the front passenger seat or between
the front passenger seat and driver
seat that push up the front passenger
seat bottom.
 Any accessories which might
decrease the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat are attached
to the front passenger seat.
The front passenger front and side air
bags and knee air bags, and the seat
belt pretensioner system will
deactivate if the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates.

Do not increase the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat:
When an infant or small child sits on
the front passenger seat, increasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat is dangerous. The front
passenger seat weight sensors will
detect the increased total seated
weight, which could result in the
unexpected deployment of the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system in an accident and
may cause serious injury. Increasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat could result in the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system deployment in an
accident under the following
conditions, for example:
 Luggage or other items are placed on
the seat with the child in the
child-restraint system.
