2024 MAZDA CX90 suspension

Sit in the center of the seat and wear
seat belts properly.
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the windows is extremely
dangerous. The side and curtain air
bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on
the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too
close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab
the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to
work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat
belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where air bags deploy.
Attaching objects to the air bags or
placing something in the area where
the air bags deploy is dangerous. In an
accident, an object could interfere with
air bag inflation and injure the
occupants. Furthermore, the bag could
be damaged causing gases to release.
Always keep the deployment area of
the air bag modules free of any
obstructions.
For example, you should not do any of
the following as it may interfere with
air bag deployment.
Do not put a covering on or lean
anything against areas such as the
dashboard and lower portion of the
instrument panel that blocks the
passenger front air bag and knee air
bags.
 Do not use seat covers on the front
seats and rear seats equipped with
in-seat side air bags.
 Do not hang any backpacks, bags or
pouches that cover the sides of the
seats that block the side air bags.Do not place any objects on the
assist grips. Only hang clothes
directly on the coat hooks.
Do not touch the components of the
supplemental restraint system after
the air bags have inflated.
Touching the components of the
supplemental restraint system after the
air bags have inflated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are
very hot. You could get burned.
Never install any front-end equipment
to your vehicle.
Installation of front-end equipment,
such as frontal protection bar
(kangaroo bar, bull bar, push bar, or
other similar devices), snowplow, or
winches, is dangerous. The air bag
crash sensor system could be affected.
This could cause air bags to inflate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the
air bags from inflating during an
accident. Front occupants could be
seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension.
Modifying the vehicle suspension is
dangerous. If the vehicle's height or
the suspension is modified, the vehicle
will be unable to accurately detect a
collision or roll-over accident resulting
in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
To prevent false detection by the air
bag sensor system, heed the
following.
 Do not use tires or wheels other than
those
specified for your Mazda:

Forward Sensing Camera(FSC)
*
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determines the conditions ahead of
the vehicle and detects the white
(yellow) lines on the traffic lane.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The following systems utilize the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
High Beam Control System (HBC)Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Driver Attention Alert (DAA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS)Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)Smart Brake Support (SBS) forward
drive detection
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This
will result in the system not operating
normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
Heed the following cautions to operate
the system correctly.
Do not hit or apply strong force to
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or the area around it. If the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) received a
strong impact, stop using the
following systems and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 High Beam Control System (HBC)
 Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
 Traffic Sign Recognition System

 Do not remove the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) cover.
 Be careful not to scratch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow
it to get dirty. Also, do not take the
camera apart. Otherwise, it may
cause a malfunction or
mis-operation.
 The direction of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) has been
