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.

Use of any tire or wheel other than
those specified for your Mazda (page
10-71) is dangerous. Use of such
wheels will prevent the vehicle's
accident detections system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is
dangerous as it could prevent the air
bag crash sensor system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries. The gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) and the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for
your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the
driver's door fram e. Do not exceed
these ratings.
Do not modify a front door or leave
any damage unrepaired. Always have
an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect a
damaged front door.
Modifying a front door or leaving any
damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each
front door has a side crash sensor as a
component of the supplemental
restraint system. If holes are drilled in a
front door, a door speaker is left
removed, or a damaged door is left
unrepaired, the sensor could be
adversely affected causing it to not
detect the pressure of an impact
correctly during a si de collision. If a
sensor does not detect a side impact
correctly, the side and curtain air bags
and the front seat belt pretensioner
may not operate norm ally which could
result in serious injury to occupants.Do not modify the supplemental
restraint system.
Modifying the components or wiring of
the supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable. Do
not make any modifications to the
supplemental restraint system. This
includes installing trim, badges, or
anything else over the air bag modules.
It also includes installing extra
electrical equipment on or near system
components or wiring. An Authorized
Mazda Dealer can provide the special
care needed in the removal and
installation of front seats and rear seats
equipped with in-seat side air bags. It
is important to protect the air bag
wiring and connecti ons to assure that
the bags do not accidentally deploy,
and that the front passenger occupant
classification system and the seats
retain an undamaged air bag
connection.
Do not place luggage or other objects
under the front seats and rear seats.
Placing luggage or other objects under
the front or rear seats equipped with
in-seat side air bags is dangerous. The
components essential to the
supplemental restraint system could be
damaged, and in the event of a side
collision, the appropriate air bags may
not deploy, which could result in death
or serious injury. To prevent damage to
the components essential to the
supplemental restraint system, do not
place luggage or other objects under
the front seats.

NOTE
If it becomes necessary to have the components or wiring system for the
supplementary restraint system modified to accommodate a person with certain
medical conditions in accordance with a certified physician, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer, refer to “Customer Assistance (U.S.A.)” (page 10-4).
When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation noise can be heard and some smoke will
be released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags
may cause light skin injuries on body parts not covered with clothing through
friction.
Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag
systems and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the
Owner's Manual, is important.
This highly-visible label is displayed which warns against the use of a rear-facing
child-restraint system on the front passenger seat.

Wear seat belts only as recommended
in this owner's manual.
Incorrect positioning of the seat belts is
dangerous. Without proper
positioning, the pretensioner and load
limiting systems cannot provide
adequate protection in an accident
and this could result in serious injury.
For more details about wearing seat
belts, refer to "How to Use the Seat
Belts" (page 3-25).
Do not modify the components or
wiring, or use electronic testing
devices on the pretensioner system.
Modifying the components or wiring of
the pretensioner system, including the
use of electronic testing devices is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable which
would prevent it from activating in an
accident. The occupants or person
making the modification could be
seriously injured.
Properly dispose of the pretensioner
system.
Improper disposal of the pretensioner
system or a vehicle with
non-deactivated pretensioners is
dangerous. Unless all safety
procedures are followed, injury could
result. Have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer safely dispose of the
pretensioner system or scrap a
pretensioner system equipped vehicle.CAUTION
Belt retraction may become difficult if
the belts and rings are soiled, so try to
keep them clean. For more details
about cleaning the seat belts, refer to
"Seat Belt Maintenance" (page

abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If a seat belt is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.
Use a mild detergent to remove
soiling from a seat belt.
If organic solvents are used for cleaning
the seat belts or they become stained
or bleached, there is the possibility of
them becoming weakened and as a
result, they may not function at their
full capacity which could cause serious
injury or death.
Do not disassemble, modify, or
replace a seat belt.
If a seat belt is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
