Driver and Front
Passenger Occupant
Classification System
The Driver and Front Passenger
Occupant
Classification System
reduces the possibility of injury due to
the deployment of the driver air bag
and the front passenger airbag by
determining the deployment energy of
the driver air bag and whether or not
the front passenger airbag should be
deployed based on the driver seat slide
position sensor and the front
passenger seat weight sensor.
Driver Seat Slide Position Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a driver
seat slide position sensor as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. The
sensor is located under the driver seat.
The sensor determines whether the
driver's seat is forward of or behind a
reference position and sends the seat
position to the diagnostic module (SAS
unit). The SAS unit is designed to
control the deployment of the driver's
air bag depending on how close the
driver's seat is to the steering wheel.
During an impact of moderate severity,
the driver's air bag deploys with lesser
energy, whereas during more severe
impacts and when the driver's seat is
behind the reference position, it
deploys with more energy.
Front Passenger Seat Weight Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger seat weight sensors as a part
of the supplemental restraint system.
These sensors are located under both
of the front passenger seat rails. These
sensors determine the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat and
monitor the seat belt buckle for the
front passenger seat. The SAS unit is
designed to prevent the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system from deploying if
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.

7. Push the child-restraint systemfirmly into the vehicle seat. Be sure
the belt retracts as snugly as
possible. A clicking noise from the
retractor will be heard during
retraction if the system is in the
automatic locking mode. If the belt
does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat this step.
NOTE
Inspect this function before each
use of the child-restraint system.
You should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor
while the system is in the automatic
locking mode. When you remove
the child-restraint system, be sure
the belt fully retracts to return the
system to emergency locking mode
before occupants use the seat belts.
8. If your child-restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
refer to the manufacturer's
instructions to hook and tighten the
tether strap.
If You Must Use the Front
Seat for Children
If you cannot put all children in the
rear seat, at least put the smallest
children in the rear and be sure the
largest child up front uses the shoulder
belt over the shoulder.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat
whether your vehicle is equipped with
an occupant classification sensor or
not.
This seat is also not set up for tethered
child-restraint systems, put them in
one of the rear seat positions set up
with tether anchors.
Likewise the LATCH child-restraint
system cannot be secured in the front
passenger's seat and should be used in
the second-row seat.
Do not allow anyone to sleep against
the side window since your vehicle has
side and curtain air bags, it could
cause serious injuries to an out of
position occupant. As children more
often sleep in cars, it is better to put
them in the rear seat. If installing the
child-restraint system on the front seat
is unavoidable, follow these
instructions when using a front-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat.
NOTE
To check if your front seats have side
air bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with side
air bag will have a "SRS AIRBAG" tag
on the outboard shoulder of the
front seats.
To check if your vehicle has curtain
air bags:

Mazda vehicles equipped with
curtain air bag will have an "SRS
AIRBAG" marking on the window
pillars along the roof edge.Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Front Seat for Children
WARNING
Always move the front passenger seat
as far back as possible if installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on
it is unavoidable.
As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so because your vehicle has
side air bags, a front-facing
child-restraint system should be put on
the front passenger seat only when it is
unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates,
always move the seat as far back as
possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious
injury or death to the child.
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air
bag that could deploy.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
Even in a moderate collision, the
child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury or
death to the child. Even though you
may feel assured that the front
passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, you should
not use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat.

Secondary CollisionReduction
*
The Secondary Collision Reduction
reduces secondary damage by
decelerating the vehicle when it is
damaged in a collision to the extent
that the airbags are deployed while
driving.
If a collision occurs to the extent that
the airbags are deployed while driving,
the hazard warning lights flash to alert
surrounding vehicles and the brakes
are controlled to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with an obstruction
or other object.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Secondary Collision Reduction
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
Secondary Collision Reduction.
The Secondary Collision Reduction
may not operate normally depending
on various conditions such as the
accident condition, component part
damage condition, target object
condition, weather conditions, or
traffic conditions. Do not rely
completely on the system and make
it your responsibility as a driver to
drive the vehicle.
 The functions of the Secondary
Collision Reduction have limitations.
If you neglect to operate the brake
and accelerator pedals correctly, it
could result in serious injury.

How to Use the
Secondary Collision Reduction
When the Secondary Collision
Reduction operates
The Secondary Collision Reduction
operates if the vehicle is damaged in a
collision to the extent that the airbags
are deployed while driving.

When the Secondary Collision
Reduction operates, the system
controls and applies the brakes until
the vehicle stops. In addition, the
hazard warning lights continue to flash.
After the vehicle stops, the parking
brake is applied by the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB).
NOTE
The brake lights turn on while the
brakes are operating by the system
control.
If there is a malfunction with the
electric parking brake (EPB), the
brakes are released by the system
control after the vehicle is stopped.
The settings for the Secondary
Collision Reduction system differ
depending on the grade/specification-separate equipment.
Secondary Collision Reduction is
disabled
If any of the following conditions is
met, the Second ary Collision
Reduction is canceled.
A certain period of time has passed
since the system operated.
After stopping the vehicle, the
accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed 3 times.
The parking brake is released after
the Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
operates.
NOTE
If the driver's brake pedal depression
force is stronger than the system's
brake control, the driver's brake
operation takes priority.
Flashing of the hazard warning lights
by the system control is canceled
when any of the following operations
is performed.
Hazard warning light switch is
pressed.
Vehicle power is switched OFF.
