NOTE
To allow the passenger occupant
classification sensor to function
properly, do not place and sit on an
additional seat cushion on the
passenger's seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
If a small child is seated on the
passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
Mexico
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20
km/h (12 mph) with the driver or
passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning
beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
passenger's seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
Placing heavy items on the passenger's
seat may cause the passenger's seat belt
warning function to operate depending
on the weight of the item.
To allow the passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on
the passenger's seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
If a small child is seated on the
passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
▼ Retractable Hardtop Warning Beep*
When operating the retractable hardtop
switch, the warning beep is activated when
the retractable hardtop operation begins
and when it is completed.
If there is a problem with the retractable
hardtop, the warning beep is activated
continuously while operating the switch. If
the warning beep is activated continuously
while operating the switch, have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

If the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switched to ACC, a beep will be
heard continuously in the cabin to notify
the driver that the
ignition has not been
switched OFF (STOP). Under this
condition, the keyles s entry system will
not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked,
and the battery voltage will be depleted.
▼ Key Removed from Vehicle Warning
Beep
Vehicles with advanced keyless function

Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or ne ar crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicl e dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or les s. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
How various systems in you r vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckl ed/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circu mstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial cra sh or near crash-like situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving co nditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, an d crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired du ring a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, oth er parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the info rmation if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.

Mazda will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third party unless:
A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is obtained
Officially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities
Used as a defense for Mazda in a lawsuit, claim, or arbitration
Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
Use the data for research on Mazda vehicle performance, includi ng safety.
Disclose the data or the summarized data to a third party for research purposes without
disclosing vehicle or owner identification information.
