SRS Air Bags

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions

The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include different types of air bags.

Please verify which kinds of air bags are equipped on your vehicle by locating the

“SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area where the air

bags are installed.

The air bags are installed in the following locations:

l

The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)

The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)

The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags)

The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags)

l

Vehicles with the 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:

l

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

l

inflation, such as rear impact.

Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions or roll-over

l

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

l

air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.

Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.

Small children must be protected by a child-restraint system as stipulated by law in every

state and province. In certain states and provinces, larger children must use a child-restraint

system (page 2-26).

Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your child and follow the

installation directions in this Owner's Manual as well as the child-restraint system

manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles:

Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous.

Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be

expected to inflate only in the first accident, such as frontal, near frontal or side

collisions or roll-over accident that are at least moderate. Vehicle occupants should

always wear seat belts.

Children should not ride in the front passenger seat:

Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child could be

hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is

more likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side air bag in moderate

collision to the front-passenger side of the vehicle. Whenever possible, always secure

a child 12 years and under on the rear seats with an appropriate child-restraint

system for the child's age and size.

2-45

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

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

though you may feel assured that a front passenger air bag will not deploy based on

the fact that the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates. 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.

Do not sit too close to the driver and front passenger air bags:

Sitting too close to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or placing hands

or feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and front passenger air bags

inflate with great force and speed. Serious injuries could occur if someone is too

close. The driver should always hold onto only the rim of the steering wheel. The

front seat passenger should keep both feet on the floor. Front seat occupants should

adjust their seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the

seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.

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 driver and front passenger air

bags deploy:

Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or placing

something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object could interfere

with air bag inflation and injure the occupants.

2-46

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag deploys:

Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard side of the

seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the side

air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the front seats, impeding the added

protection of the side air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is

dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.

Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the front

seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side air bag modules

in your front seats free to deploy in the event of a side collision.

Do not attach objects on or around the area where a curtain air bag deploys:

Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as on the

windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and along the roof

edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the

curtain air bag, which inflates from the front and rear window pillars and along the

roof edge, impeding the added protection of the curtain air bag system or redirecting

the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open

releasing the gas.

Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hanging clothes,

hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air bag modules free

to deploy in the event of a side collision or roll-over accident.

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.

2-47

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

To prevent false detection by the air bag sensor system, heed the following:

Ø Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Mazda:

Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Mazda (page 9-8) is

dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle's accident detection system

from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or

unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.

Ø 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 frame. Do not exceed these ratings.

Ø Do not drive the vehicle off-road:

Driving your Mazda off-road is dangerous because the vehicle has not been

designed to do so. Driving the vehicle off-road 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.

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 side 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 normally 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. It is important to protect the air bag wiring and connections to assure that the

bags do not accidentally deploy and that the seats retain an undamaged air bag

connection.

2-48

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:

Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats 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.

Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system

components:

Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components must be

replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a

trained Authorized Mazda Dealer can fully evaluate these systems to see that they

will work in any subsequent accident. Driving with an expended or damaged air bag

or pretensioner unit will not afford you the necessary protection in the event of any

subsequent accident which could result in serious injury or death.

Do not remove interior air bag parts:

Removing any components such as the front seats, front dashboard, the steering

wheel or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge,

containing air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts contain essential air

bag components. The air bag could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries.

Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer remove these parts.

Properly dispose of the air bag system:

Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely

dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an

Authorized Mazda Dealer safely dispose of the air bag system or scrap an air bag

equipped vehicle.

NOTE

l

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 8-2).

l

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.

l

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.

l

This highly-visible label is displayed which warns against the use of rear-facing child-restraint

systems on the front passenger seat.

SRS Air Bags

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.

qFront Seat Belt Pretensioners

The front seat belt pretensioners are designed to deploy in moderate or severe frontal, near

frontal collisions. In addition, during a side collision, the pretensioner operates on the side

in which the collision occurs. The pretensioners operate differently depending on what

types of air bags are equipped. For details on the seat belt pretensioner operation, refer to

“SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria” (page 2-57).

(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)

The front seat belt pretensioners are also designed to deploy in a roll-over accident.

qDriver 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 2-57).

(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.

2-53

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

qFront 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,

as mentioned above.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”

(page 2-57).

(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)

In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only deploy when the front passenger

occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on the front passenger's seat. For

details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification system (page 2-60).

qSide Air Bags

The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front seatbacks.

When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the

system inflates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side air

bag inflates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger's chest caused by

directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”

(page 2-57).

2-54

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)

In addition, the front passenger side air bag is designed to only deploy when the front

passenger occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on the front passenger's

seat. For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification system (page 2-60).

qCurtain Air Bags

The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge

along both sides.

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 rear outboard

passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”

(page 2-57).

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.

Only one side curtain air bag will deploy on the

side of the vehicle that receives the force of an

impact.

2-55

First, please read “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions” (page 2-44)

carefully.

qFront Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor

Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification sensor as a part of

the supplemental restraint system. This sensor is equipped in the front passenger's seat

cushion. This sensor measures the electrostatic capacity of the front passenger's seat. The

SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt

pretensioner system from deploying if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator

light turns on.

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 also the seat belt

pretensioner system when the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on.

Refer to the following table for the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light

illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner

system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on

according to the following table.

The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes and the front

passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates if the sensors have a possible

malfunction. If this happens, the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt

pretensioner system will not deploy.

The curtain air bag is ready for inflating regardless of what the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart indicates.

If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on when the ignition

is switched ON and does not turn on as indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation

indicator light on/off condition chart, do not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger

seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The system may not

work properly in an accident.

WARNING

Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which

makes it difficult for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the

occupant correctly:

Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it difficult for the

front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occupant correctly is

dangerous. If the front passenger occupant classification sensor cannot detect the

occupant sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly, the front passenger front

and side air bags and pretensioner system may not operate (deploy) or they may

operate (deploy) accidentally. The front passenger will not have the supplementary

protection of the air bags or the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags

could result in serious injury or death.

Under the following conditions, the front passenger occupant classification sensor

cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly and the

deployment/non-deployment of the air bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the

front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For
