Things to Be ObservedWhile Driving
WARNING
Never stop the hybrid system when
going down a hill.
Stopping the hybrid system when
going down a hill is dangerous. This
causes the loss of power steering and
power brake control, and may cause
damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of
steering or braking control could cause
an accident.
Be extremely careful if it is necessary
to downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while
driving on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle
control and an accident.
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed
and abrupt maneuvers when driving
this vehicle:
Sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvering of this vehicle are
dangerous as it could result in the
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle roll-over, personal injury or
death.
This vehicle has a higher center of
gravity. Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity such as util ity vehicles handle
differently than vehicles with a lower
center of gravity.
Utility vehicles are not designed for
cornering at high speeds any more
than low profile sports cars are
designed to perfo rm satisfactorily
under off-road conditions.
In addition, utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short
circuiting of electrical/electronic
parts, or engine damage or stalling
from water absorption. If the vehicle
has been immersed in water, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Event Data Recorder(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main
purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near 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 vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in
this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were buckled/
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 circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash or near
crash-like situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
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
during 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, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information 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, including
safety.
Disclose the data or the summarized
data to a third party for research
purposes without disclosing vehicle
or owner identification information.

SRS Air Bags
If the vehicle receives a strong impact
from the front or side of the vehicle
when the vehicle power is switched
ON, the air bags inflate
instantaneously and lessen the impact
on the head or chest of the driver or
passenger.
The SRS air bag system protects
occupants together with the seat belts
and they are not a substitute for the
seat belts.
There are 5 types of air bags.
Vehicles with the Driver and Front
Passenger Occupant Classification
System have a sensor which detects an
impending roll-over accident.
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 inflation, such as
roll-over or 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 because the air bags
provide no protection to these parts
of the body.
Driver's front air bag
The driver's front air bag is stored in
the center of 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.
The inflation of the driver's dual-stage
air bag is controlled in two energy
stages depending on the driver's seat
position. The driver's seat slide
position sensor is located under the
driver's 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.

Curtain air bags
The curtain air bags are stored in the
front pillars, side edges of the roof, and
the rear pillars. The curtain air bag on
the side where the vehicle is hit
deploys regardless of whether or not
an occupant is seated.
When the air bag crash sensors detect
a side impact of greater than moderate
force, the curtain air bag inflates
quickly and helps to reduce injury
mainly to the driver and front and rear
outboard passengers' heads caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a
door or window.
In a side impact:
Greater than moderate impact to one
side of the vehicle will cause the
curtain air bag on that side only to
inflate.
In a roll-over:
In response to a vehicle roll-over, both
curtain air bags inflate.
Both curtain air bags will deploy after
the roll-over accident is detected.
Constant Monitoring
The following components of the air
bag systems are monitored by a
diagnostic system:
Front air bag sensorsCrash sensors, and diagnostic
module (SAS unit)
Side crash sensorsAir bag modulesSeat belt pretensionersAir bag/Seat belt pretensioner
system warning light
Related wiringDriver seat slide position sensorFront Passenger occupant classification sensor
Front Passenger occupantclassification module
Front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light
Front passenger seat belt buckle
switch
The diagnostic module continuously
monitors the system's readiness. This
begins when the vehicle power is
switched ON and continues while the
vehicle is being driven.
