How the SRS Air BagsWork
▼How the SRS Air Bags Work
Your Mazda is equipped with the
following types of SRS air bags. SRS air
bags are designed to work together
with the seat belts to help to reduce
injuries during an accident.
The SRS air bags are designed to
provide further protection for
passengers in addition to the seat belt
functions. Be sure to wear seat belts
properly.
▼Seat Belt Pretensioners
The pretensioners operate differently
depending on what types of air bags
are equipped. For more details about
seat belt pretensioner operation, refer
to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria
(page 2-63).
Front
The front seat belt pretensioners are
designed to deploy in moderate or
severe frontal, near frontal collisions.
In addition, the pretensioners operate
when a side collision (only on the side
in which the collision occurs) or a
roll-over accident (with roll-over
sensor) is detected.
Rear Outboard
*
The rear outboard seat belt
pretensioners are designed to deploy
in moderate or severe frontal, near
frontal collisions.
In addition, the pretensioners operate
when a side collision or a roll-over
accident is detected.

Driver Air Bag
The driver's air bag is mounted in the
steering wheel.
When air bag crash sensors detect a
frontal impact of greater than
moderate force, the driver's air bag
inflates quickly helping to reduce injury
mainly to the driver's head or chest
caused by directly hitting the steering
wheel.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-63).
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
The driver's dual-stage air bag controls
air bag inflation in two energy stages.
During an impact of moderate severity,
the driver's air bag deploys with lesser
energy, whereas during more severe
impacts, it deploys with more energy.
▼ Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted
in the front passenger dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the front
passenger air bag is the same as the
driver's air bag.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-63).

someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may find these keys to
be an interesting toy to play with and
could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even
make the vehicle move.

following conditions:
The key (transmitter) is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
The key (transmitter) contacts or is
covered by a metal object.
The key (transmitter) is near
electronic devices such as personal
computers.
Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
vehicle.
There is equipment which
discharges radio waves near the
vehicle.
The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it
receives high-intensity radio waves.
Do not place the key (transmitter)
near electronic devices such as
televisions or personal computers.
To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
Drop the key (transmitter).
Get the key (transmitter) wet.
Disassemble the key (transmitter).
Expose the key (transmitter) to
high temperatures on places such
as the dashboard, under direct
sunlight.
Expose the key (transmitter) to any
kind of magnetic field.
Place heavy objects on the key
(transmitter).
Put the key (transmitter) in an
ultrasonic cleaner.
Put any magnetized objects close
to the key (transmitter).
NOTE
The driver must carry the key
(transmitter) to ensure the system
functions properly.
If the key (transmitter) does not
function normally, make sure that the
power saving function of the key
(transmitter) is not on. If it is on,
switch the function to off.
