2020 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 sensor

The front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner systems will deactivate
if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on.
CAUTION
 To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the sensor in
the front seat cushion:
 Do not place sharp objects on the front seat cushion or leave heavy luggage on them.
 Do not spill any liquids on the front seats or under the front seats.
 To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:
 Adjust the front seats as far back as possibl e and always sit upright against the seatbacks
with seat belts worn properly.
 If you place your child on the front passenger seat, secure the child-restraint system
properly and slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible (page 2-48).
NOTE
The system requires about 10 seconds to alte rnate between turning the front passenger
front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.
The front passenger air bag deactivation indicato r light may turn on repeatedly if luggage
or other items are put on the front passenger seat, or if the temperature of the vehicle's
interior changes suddenly.
The front passenger air bag deactivation indicato r light may turn on for 10 seconds if the
electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.
The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the front
passenger seat receives a severe impact.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing
a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re-install your child-restraint
system according to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light still does not tu rn on, install the child-restraint system on
the rear seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation i ndicator light turns on when an occupant is
seated directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture by
sitting with their feet on the floor, and th en re-fastening the seat belt. If the front
passenger air bag deactivation i ndicator light remains turned on, move the passenger to
the rear seat. If sitting in the rear seat is no t possible, slide the front passenger seat as far
back as possible. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Constant Monitoring
The following components of the air bag systems are monitored by a diagnostic system:

Front air bag sensors
Crash sensors, and diagnostic module (SAS unit)
Side crash sensors
Air bag modules
Front seat belt pretensioners
Air bag/Front seat belt pretensioner system warning light
Related wiring
(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
Front passenger occupant classification sensor
Front passenger occupant classification module
Front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light

The diagnostic module continuously monitors the system's readiness. This begins when the
ignition is switched ON and continue s while the vehicle is being driven.

NOTE
Set the desired fully-open position of the
liftgate at the position where it is open
more than halfway. The position where it
is less than halfway open cannot be set.
To r e s e t
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Press the power liftgate close switchfor about seven seconds.
A beep sound is activated three times
to indicated that the reset has been
completed.
NOTE
After about 3 seconds have elapsed since
the switch was pressed, a beep sound is
activated 2 times to indicate that the
liftgate fully-open position has changed.
Continuously press the switch for about 7
seconds to complete the reset.
Jam-safe equipment
While the power liftgate is opening/
closing electrically and the system detects
a person or an object in the liftgate's path,
the liftgate will move in the reverse
direction automatically and stops.
WA R N I N G
Always check the area around the power
liftgate before opening/closing it:
Not checking for occupants and objects
around the power liftgate before opening/
closing it is dangerous. The jam-safe
equipment is designed to prevent jamming
in the event an obstruction is in the
liftgate's path. The system may not detect
certain objects obstructing the liftgate
depending on the way they are positioned
and their shape. However, if the jam-safe
function detects an obstruction and moves
the liftgate in the reverse direction, an
occupant in the liftgate's path could be
seriously injured.
CAUTION
Sensors are installed on both ends of the
power liftgate. Be careful not to allow the
sensors to be scratched or damaged by
sharp objects, otherwise the liftgate may
no longer open/close automatically. In
addition, if the sensor is damaged while the
liftgate is closing automatically, the system
will stop.

Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
▼Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-G 2.0,
S K YA C T I V- G 2 . 5 , S K YA C T I V- G 2 . 5 T )
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL,
which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum.

To achieve maximum engine performance, use the specified fuel.
Fuel Octane Rating*1 (Anti-knock index)
Regular unleaded fuel 87 [(R+M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above)
*1 U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gas station pumps.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively affect the emission control
system performance and could also cause en gine knocking and serious engine damage.
CAUTION
USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic co nverter and oxygen sensors and will lead to
deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.
 This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol by
volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation, or
if the gasoline contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine
is performing poorly.
 Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, otherwise the
emission control system could be damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
details.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are generally
referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common gasoline blend that can be used with your
vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol, such as
ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name "Gasohol".

Vehicle damage and drivability problems resu lting from the use of the following may not be
covered by the warranty.
Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.
Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
▼ Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The vehicle will operate efficiently on diesel fuel with specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
(ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less) fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent.
