8. Switch the power switch ON andmake sure the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates after installing a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate, remove the
child-restraint system, switch the
power switch to OFF, and then
re-install the child-restraint system
(page 2-64).
WARNING
Do not seat a child in a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat if
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate:
While it is always better to install any
child-restraint system on the rear seat,
it is imperative that a child-restraint
system ONLY be used on the front
passenger seat if the deactivation
indicator light illuminates when the
child is seated in the child-restraint
system (page 2-64). Seating a child in
a child-restraint system installed on the
front passenger seat with the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light not illuminated is
dangerous. If this indicator light does
not illuminate, this means that the
front passenger front and side air bags,
and knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioners are ready for
deployment. If an accident were to
deploy an air bag , a child in a
child-restraint system sitting in the
front passenger seat could be seriously
injured or killed. If the indicator light
does not illuminate after seating a
child in a child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat, seat a child in a
child-restraint system on the rear seat
and consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
▼ Using LATCH Lower Anchor
Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH
lower anchors for attachment of
specially designed LATCH
child-restraint systems in the rear seats.
Both anchors must be used, otherwise
the seat will bounce around and put
the child in danger. Most LATCH
child-restraint systems must also be
used in conjunction with a tether to be
e
ff ective. If they have a tether you must
use it to better assure your child's
safety.

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
di fferent 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)


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 bag in
flation, 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.
Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.

Refer to the Front Passenger Occupant
Classi fication System (page 2-64) for
details.
The front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
for a speci fied time after the power
switch is switched ON.


Small children must be protected by a
child-restraint system as stipulated by
law in every state and province. In
certain states and provinces, larger
children must use a child-restraint
system (page 2-35).

Carefully consider which child-restraint
system is necessary for your child and
follow the installation directions in this
Owner's Manual as well as the

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
fl ashes 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.
Front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light
This indicator light illuminates to
remind you that the front passenger
front and side air bags and knee airbags, and seat belt pretensioners will
not deploy during a collision.
If the front passenger weight sensors
are normal, the indicator light
illuminates when the power switch is
switched ON. The light turns off after a
few seconds. Then, the indicator light

The curtain air bag is ready for in flating
regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/o ff condition
chart indicates.

If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate when the power switch is
switched ON and does not illuminate
as indicated in the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light on/o ff
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 weight 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.

Electric Vehicles
▼Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles are driven by motor power using the electrical power stored in the
high voltage battery. This vehicle is an
eco-friendly vehicle which emits no exhaust
gas because fuel is not used.
1. Motor, Regenerative braking
2. High voltage battery
3. Approaching vehicle audible system

Motor
The motor transmits the motor power to the wheels using the electrical power of the
high voltage battery.
Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking uses the motor to decelerate the vehicle. Power is generated
by the wheels rotating the motor while decelerating and the generated power
charges the high voltage battery.
Refer to Steering Wheel Paddle on page 3-7.
High voltage battery
The high voltage battery is a large-capacity battery and stores the charged power and
the electrical power generated by regenerative braking.
Before Driving

cooperate in ensuring that the vehicle's
high voltage battery is collected.
WARNING
Appropriate disposal of the high
voltage battery:
If the high voltage battery is not
collected and disposed of
appropriately, such as by leaving it
unattended or illegally abandoning it,
some other person may touch it which
could cause an electrical shock
accident leading to serious injury.
▼Accident Occurs
If the vehicle receives an impact of a
certain level or greater in a collision,
the EV system stops. In this case, the
EV system malfunction warning
indication/warning light displays/turns
on and the EV system may not start.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately.
WARNING
Never touch electrical wiring that may
be protruding into or outside of the
cabin:
Otherwise, it could result in electrical
shock and serious injury.
Never touch any area where
electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is
leaking from the area:
If any electrolyte from the high voltage
battery gets in the eyes or on the skin,
it could cause loss
of vision or skin
reactions. In the unlikely event that
electrolyte comes into contact with the
eyes or skin, flush with large quantities
of water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention.
Never approach objects that are on
fi re or extremely hot:
Electrolyte in the high voltage battery
may cause a fire.
If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish
the fire using a fire extinguisher (type
ABC, BC, or C).
Only extinguish a fire with water when
a large amount of water is available
such as from a fire hydrant. Otherwise,
it could lead to an accident.
