Air Bag/Front Seat Belt

Pretensioner Systems Warning

Light

If the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner

system is OK, the warning light comes on

when the ignition switch is turned to the

ON position or after the engine is cranked.

After about 6 seconds it goes out.

A system malfunction is indicated when

the warning light constantly flashes, stays

on or doesn’t come on at all. If any of

these occur, consult an Authorized Mazda

Dealer as soon as possible. The system

may not work in an accident.

Modification or Testing of 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 could be

seriously injured. Never modify the

components or wiring, or use

electronic testing devices on the

pretensioner system.

Pretensioner System Disposal:

Improper disposal of the pretensioner

system or a vehicle with non-

deactivated pretensioners is

dangerous. Unless all safety

procedures are followed, injury could

result. Ask an Authorized Mazda

Dealer how to safely dispose of the

pretensioner system or how to scrap a

pretensioner-equipped vehicle.

WARNING

NOTE

•

The pretensioner system will only

activate in a moderate or greater

frontal or near-frontal collision. It

will not activate in side or rear

impacts.

•

Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be

released when the air bags and

pretensioners deploy. This does not

indicate a fire. This gas normally

has no effect on occupants,

however, those with sensitive skin

may experience light skin irritation.

If residue from the deployment of

the air bags or the front pretensioner

system gets on the skin or in the

eyes, wash it off as soon as possible.
