Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) Precautions
▼ Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplemental
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:
The steering wheel hub (driver air
bag)
The front passenger dashboard (front
passenger air bag)
Under the instrument panel (driver
and front passenger* knee air bags)The outboard sides of the front
seatbacks (side air bags)
The front and rear window pillars,
and the roof edge along both sides
(curtain air bags)
Vehicles with the Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System have a
sensor which detects an impending
roll-over accident.
The air bag supplemental restraint
systems are designed to provide
supplemental 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:
Keep the occupant from being
thrown into an inflating air bag.
Reduce the possibility of injuries
during an accident that is not
designed for air ba g inflation, such as
rear impact.
Reduce 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.
Reduce the possibility of being
thrown from your vehicle.
Reduce 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.
Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.
If your vehicle is also equipped with a
front passenger occupant
classification system, refer to the Front
Pa s s e n g e r O cc u p a n t Classification
System (page 2-64) for details.
If your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger occupant classification
system, the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
for a specified time after the ignition is
switched ON.

Sit in the center 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 center 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 windshield 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
supplemental restraint system after
the air bags have inflated:
Touching the components of the
supplemental restraint system after the
air bags have inflated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are
very hot. You could get burned.

Do not modify the supplemental
restraint system:
Modifying the components or wiring of
the supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable. Do
not make any modifications to the
supplemental 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer 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 front passenger occupant
classification system 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
supplemental 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
supplemental 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer 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 dashboard, 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer 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 Authorized Mazda
Dealer safely dispose of the air bag
system or scrap an air bag equipped
vehicle.

▼Driver and Front Passenger Knee
Air Bags*
The knee air bags are equipped under
the instrument panel.
If the air bag crash sensors receive a
frontal impact of greater than
moderate force, the knee air bags
deploy immediately to reduce impact
to the driver and front passenger's
legs.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-60).
▼
Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the
outboard sides of the front seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors detect
a side impact of greater than moderate
force, the system inflates the side air
bag only on the side in which the
vehicle was hit. The side air bag inflates
quickly to reduce injury to the driver or
front passenger's chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a
door or window.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-60).
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
In addition, the front passenger side air
bag is designed to only deploy in
accordance with the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat. For
details, refer to
the front passenger
occupant classification system (page
2-64).
▼ Curtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the
front and rear window pillars, and the
roof edge along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect
a side impact of greater than moderate
force, the curtain air bag inflates
quickly and helps to reduce injury
mainly to the driver and front and rear
outboard passengers' heads caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a
door or window.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-60).
