Seat Belt
▼Fastening the Seat Belt
Insert the seat belt tongue into the
buckle.
1. Seat belt tongue
2. Seat belt buckle

Position the lap belt as low as possible,
not on the abdominal area, then adjust
the shoulder belt so that it
fits snugly
against your body.
1. Keep low on hip bone
2. Take up slack
3. Too high

Before fastening the rear seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt passes
through the seat belt guide correctly
and it is not twisted.
▼ Unfastening the Seat Belt
Depress the button on the seat belt
buckle. If the belt does not fully retract,
pull it out and check for kinks or twists.
Then make sure it remains untwisted as
it retracts.
1. Button
NOTE
If a belt does not fully retract, inspect it
for kinks and twists. If it is still not
retracting properly, have it inspected at
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
▼Front Shoulder Belt Adjuster
The front seat belts have a front
shoulder belt adjuster. If the seat belt
contacts your neck or it slips off the
shoulder, adjust the seat belt height.

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.
To prevent false detection by the air
bag sensor system, heed the
following:
 Do not use tires or wheels other than
those specified for your Mazda:
Use of any tire or wheel other than
those specified for your Mazda (page
9-7) is dangerous. Use of such
wheels will prevent the vehicle's
accident detections system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
 Do not overload your vehicle:Overloading your vehicle is
dangerous as it could prevent the air
bag crash sensor system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries. The gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) and the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for
your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the
driver's door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
 Do not drive the vehicle off-road:
Driving your Mazda off-road is
dangerous because the vehicle has
not been designed to do so. Driving
the vehicle off-road could prevent
the air bag crash sensor system from
accurately detecting 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer 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 supplemental
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 front seat belt pretensioner
may not operate normally which could
result in serious injury to occupants.

High Beam ControlSystem (HBC)
*
▼ High Beam Control System (HBC)
The HBC determines the conditions in
front of the vehicle using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in
darkness to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low
beams.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-190.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights are switched to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
The system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
The vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
The vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
The headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*1
*1 The recognition distance of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) varies according to
the surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to High Beam Control System
(HBC) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Amber) on page 7-28.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the vehicle height,
modify the headlight units, or
remove the camera, otherwise the
system will not operate normally.
 Do not rely excessively on the HBC
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
NOTE
The timing in which the system
switches the headlights changes under
the following conditions. If the system
does not switch the headlights
appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams
according to the visibility as well as
road and traffic conditions.
When there are sources of light in
the area such as street lamps,
illuminated signboards, and traffic
signals.
When there are reflective objects in
the surrounding area such as
reflective plates and signs.
When visibility is reduced under rain,
snow and foggy conditions.
When driving on roads with sharp
turn or hilly terrain.
When the headlights/rear lamps of
vehicles in front of you or in the
opposite lane are dim or not
illuminated.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before making an actual lane
change:
The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at your rear

certain limitations with the operation
of this system, the BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and
the warning screen indicator display
may not activate or they might be
delayed even though a vehicle is in an
adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.

transmission)/selector lever
(automatic transmission) is shifted
to reverse (R) and the vehicle is
reversing.
The turning radius is small (making
a sharp turn, turning at
intersections).
In the following cases, the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light turns on and operation
of the system is stopped. If the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light remains illuminated,
have the vehicle inspected at an
