Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) Precautions

▼



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.

Hold the driver in a position which

allows better control of the vehicle.

The front and side supplemental

restraint systems (SRS) include diﬀerent

types of air bags. Please verify the

diﬀerent types of air bags which 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:



The steering wheel hub (driver air

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:

law in every state and province. In

certain states and provinces, larger

children must use a child-restraint

system (page 2-29).

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

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.

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 accidents that are at least

moderate. Vehicle occupants should

always wear seat belts.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

2-51

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Never install any front-end equipment

to 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.

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.

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.

To prevent false detection by the air

bag sensor system, heed the

following:

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 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

9-7) 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:

2-52

^EsS^senR^tiaS^{l Sa}A^feti^yr^EqB^uipa^mg^ens^t

Do not modify the supplemental

restraint system:

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.

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

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.

important to protect the air bag wiring

and connections 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:

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.

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.

Do not operate a vehicle with

damaged air bag/seat belt

pretensioner system components:



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).



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.

How the SRS Air Bags

Work

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.

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.

Front Seat Belt Pretensioners

▼

The front seat belt pretensioners are

designed to deploy in moderate or

severe frontal, near frontal collisions.

In addition, the pretensioners operate

when a side collision or a roll-over

accident is detected. The pretensioners

operate diﬀerently depending on what

types of air bags are equipped. For

more details about seat belt

Front 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.

For more details about air bag

deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag

Deployment Criteria" (page 2-60).

(With Front Passenger Occupant

Classiﬁcation System)

In addition, the front passenger air bag

is designed to only deploy in

pretensioner operation, refer to the

SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page

2-60).

Driver 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

Driver and Front Passenger Knee

Air Bags^*

▼

The knee air bags are equipped under

the instrument panel.

If the air bag crash sensors receive a

frontal impact of greater than

moderate force, the knee air bags

deploy immediately to reduce impact

to the driver and front passenger's

legs.

For more details about air bag

deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag

Deployment Criteria" (page 2-60).

Curtain 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 driver and front and rear

outboard passengers' heads caused by

directly hitting interior parts such as a

door or window.

Side Air Bags

▼

For more details about air bag

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
