Driver's front air bag
The driver's front air bag is stored in the center of the steering wheel.When air bag crash sensors detect a frontal impact of greater thanmoderate force, the driver's air bag inﬂatesquickly helping to reduce injury mainly to the driver's head or chest caused by directly hitting the steering wheel.

(With Driver and Front Passenger OccupantClassiﬁcationSystem)
The inﬂation of the driver's dual-stage air bag is controlled in two energy stages depending on the driver's seat position. The driver's seat slide position sensor is located under the driver's seat. The sensor determines whether the driver's seat is forward of or behind a reference position and sends the seat position to the diagnostic module (SAS unit). The SAS unit is designed to control the deployment of the driver's air bag depending on how close the driver's seat is to the steering wheel. During an impact of moderate severity,the driver's air bag deploys with lesser energy, whereas during more severe impacts and when the driver's seat is behind the reference position, it deploys with more energy.

Front passenger's front air bag
The front passenger's front air bag is stored in the dashboard.The inﬂation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag.

(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classiﬁcation System)
In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only deploy in accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.

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 hitdeploys regardless of whether or notan occupant is seated.

When the air bag crash sensors detecta side impact of greater than moderate force, the curtain air baginﬂatesquickly 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 thecurtain air bag on that side only to inﬂate.

Deployment of SRS air bags
The driver's and front passenger's front air bags, and the driver’s and front passenger's knee air bag*deploy when a strong impact is applied to the vehicle in a frontal collision, and the side and curtain air bags deploy in side collisions. The air bags do not always deploy even if the vehicle receives an impact.

Conditions in which air bags may not deploy
The air bags may not deploy under the following conditions depending on the level of the impact. Driver’s and front passenger’s air bags, driver's and front passenger's knee air bag*(Impacts involving trees or poles)

Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classiﬁcation System*
The Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classiﬁcation System reduces the possibility of injury due to the deployment of the driver air bag and the front passenger air bag by determining the deployment energy of the driver air bag and whether or not the front passenger air bag should be deployed based on the driver seat slide position sensor and the front passenger seat weight sensor.

Driver Seat Slide Position Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with driver seat slide positionsensor as a part of the supplemental restraint system. The sensor is located under the driver seat.The sensor determines whether the driver's seat is forward of or behind a reference position and sends the seat position to the diagnostic module (SAS unit). The SAS unit is designed to control the deployment of the driver's air bag depending on how close the driver's seat is to the steering wheel.During an impact of moderate severity,the driver's air bag deploys with lesser energy, whereas during more severe impacts and when the driver's seat is behind the reference position, it deploys with more energy.

Front Passenger Seat Weight Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger seat weightsensors as a part of the supplemental restraint system.These sensors are located under both of the front passenger seat rails. These sensors determine the total seated weight on the front passenger seat and monitor the seat belt buckle for the front passenger seat. The SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air bags and knee air bags, and seat belt pretensioner system from deploying if the front passenger air bagdeactivation indicator light illuminates.To reduce the chance of injuriescaused by deployment of the front passenger air bag, the system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and knee air bags,and also the seat belt pretensioner system when the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates.

Driver and Front Passenger Buckle Switches
The buckle switches on the front passenger seat belt detect whether or not the front passenger seat belt are securely fastened and further control the deployment of the air bags.

How to Use the Front Passenger Occupant Classiﬁcation System
This system shuts oﬀ the front passenger front and side air bags and knee air bags, and seat belt pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates according to the following table. The air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light turns on/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 knee air bags, and seat belt pretensioner system will not deploy.

Front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light
This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger front and side air bags and knee air bags, and seat belt pretensioners will not deploy during a collision. If the front passenger weight sensors are normal, the indicator light illuminates when the vehicle power is switched ON. The light turns oﬀ after a few seconds. Then, the indicator light illuminates or is oﬀ under the following conditions:

Emergency locking mode
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the occupant and the retractor will lock in position during a collision. If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled out, retract the belt once, and then try pulling it out slowly. If thisfails, pull the belt strongly 1 time and loosen, then pull it out again slowly.

(Seat belt with automatic lock mode)
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency locking mode until it is switched to automatic locking mode by pulling it all the way out to its full length. If the belt feels tight and hinders comfortable movement while the vehicle is stopped or in motion, it may be in the automatic locking mode because the belt has been pulled too far out. To return the belt to the morecomfortable emergency locking mode,wait until the vehicle has stopped in a safe, level area, retract the belt fully to convert it back to emergency locking mode and then extend it around you again.

Automatic locking mode (Except Mexico)
Always use the automatic lockingmode to keep the child-restraint system from shifting to an unsafe position in the event of an accident. To enable seat belt automatic locking mode, pull it all the way out and connect it as instructed on the child-restraint system. It will retract down to the child-restraint system and stay locked on it.

Pretensioner system
If the vehicle receives a strong impact from the front or side of the vehicle,the system retracts the seat belts to increase theireﬀect. When a collision is detected, the pretensioners deploy simultaneously with the air bags. The pretensioners deploy simultaneously with the air bags when a roll-over is also detected. The seat belt retractors remove slack quickly as the air bags are expanding.Any time the air bags and seat belt pretensioners have ﬁred they must be replaced. A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.

(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classiﬁcation System)
In addition, the pretensioner systemfor the front passenger, like the front and side passenger air bag, is designed to only deploy in accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.

Load limiting system
If the vehicle receives a strong impact from the front of the vehicle, the load limiting system operates to prevent the seat belts from applying an excessive load. By maintaining the load applied to the seat belt to aspeciﬁedlevel, the system reduces impact to an occupant's chest. Even if the pretensioners have notﬁred, the load limiting function must be checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
