When carrying a child

Seat a child on the rear seat whenever possible and make sure that the seat belt is fastened:

For a child who cannot wear the seat belt correctly because the shoulder belt contacts the neck or face or the lap belt does not ﬁt securely around the pelvis, use a child-restraint system appropriate to the child’s age and body size. Do not allow a child to stand in front of an air bag or sit on the seat incorrectly. Otherwise, the child may receive a strong impact from a deploying air bag which could result in serious injury or death.

In addition, placing a child on a passenger's lap is dangerous. The child cannot be supported during sudden braking or a collision and could be thrown out or crushed, resulting in serious injury or death.

Page 7

Important and Useful Information to Know Before Using the Vehicle

Do not let a child put a hand or head out of the window:

Be careful not to let a child put a hand or head out of the window while driving the vehicle. If the child's hand or head hits something outside the vehicle or sudden braking is applied, it could result in serious injury or death.

Never leave a child alone in the vehicle:

¾Otherwise, an unattended child

could operate equipment, accelerate the vehicle, or cause a ﬁre, resulting in an accident.

¾The temperature inside the cabin

could become extremely hot and cause the child to become dehydrated. If the symptoms worsen, it could cause brain damage or result in serious injury or death.

Luggage

Never hang heavy or sharp objects on the assist grips and coat hooks:

Using a coat hanger when hanging clothing is dangerous as it can be knocked o and hit an occupant in the cabin if a curtain air bag was to deploy, which could result in serious injury or death.

Never hang objects on levers such as the wiper lever, direction indicator lever, or selector lever:

Hanging objects on levers such as the wiper lever, direction indicator lever, or selector lever is dangerous as it the lever could switch to an unintended lever position due to acceleration/ deceleration, vibration, or impact while driving the vehicle, resulting in an accident.

Do not directly load luggage on the roof:

Do not directly load luggage on the roof. Otherwise, the luggage may collapse resulting in an accident.

Do not carry ﬂammable material or hazardous objects:

Do not carry containers ﬁlled with fuel or spray cans. Otherwise, it could lead to an explosion or ﬁre.

Do not place anything in the driver's foot well:

Placing things in the driver's foot well is dangerous. If something becomes lodged under the brake or accelerator pedal, the pedals cannot be operated correctly, which could lead to an accident.

Driving the vehicle

Do not shift the selector lever to the neutral position while driving:

Otherwise, it will result in the loss of the regenerative braking and could cause an accident.

Carefully drive the vehicle on expressways and slippery roads:

Do not suddenly accelerate or brake, turn the steering wheel abruptly, or use regeneration braking (minus switch (–)) when driving at high speeds or on wet roads, icy roads, or snow-covered roads. Otherwise, the tyres will slip which could lead to an accident. In addition, if the vehicle is driven on wet roads at high speeds, a water ﬁlm between the tyre and the road surface could be formed, resulting in the tyres lifting from the road (hydroplaning phenomenon). Drive the vehicle at a reduced speed.

Important and Useful Information to Know Before Using the Vehicle

Do not drive the vehicle on ﬂooded roads:

Do not drive the vehicle on ﬂooded roads as it could cause short circuiting of the electrical/electronic parts or damage the EV system. If the vehicle has been immersed in water, always consult an Mazda Repairer.

Carefully drive the vehicle in strong crosswinds:

If the vehicle moves sideways due to strong crosswinds, gradually decelerate the vehicle while grasping the steering wheel. Be particularly careful of tunnel exits, areas on bridges, and roads carved into mountains where crosswinds occur easily. Otherwise, you may lose control of the vehicle resulting in an accident.

Do not drive with your foot held on the brake pedal:

¾Otherwise, the brake parts will wear

out more quickly.

¾The brakes can overheat and

adversely aect brake performance.

Make various adjustments while the vehicle is stopped:

If you try to adjust the seat, steering wheel, or mirrors while driving the vehicle, it could disrupt your driving posture or view and distract your attention from the road ahead, leading to an accident.

Parking the vehicle

Before leaving the vehicle, shift the selector lever to the P position and apply the parking brake:

Not applying the parking brake when parking the vehicle is dangerous as the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before leaving the vehicle, shift the selector lever to the P position, apply the parking brake, and make sure that the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on. When parking the vehicle on a slope, use wheel blocks if necessary.

When parking under direct sunlight, do not store glasses or lighters in the vehicle:

A lens of a pair of glasses could focus sunlight in one place and cause ignition of vehicle cabin temperature could become hot and cause a lighter to explode which could cause a

Important and Useful Information to Know Before Using the Vehicle

What to do after an accident

Always have your vehicle inspected by an Mazda Repairer if the vehicle has been involved in an accident:

If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, and even if the air bags did not deploy in the accident, the air bag-related parts might be damaged by the impact to the vehicle in the accident, and the air bags may not deploy normally, which could result in serious injury or death. If seat belts with the pretensioner system and seat belts with the load-limiter system that have operated (deployed) are used under such a condition, they cannot function at their full capacity which could result in serious injury or death.

Vehicle maintenance and scrapping

When replacing the tyres, replace them with ones of the speciﬁed type and size:

If tyres other than the and size are installed, vehicle systems will not operate normally due to the driving stability being adversely aected, which could lead to an accident.

speciﬁed

type

Always consult an Mazda Repairer when scrapping the vehicle:

The air bag and pretensioner system mechanisms may operate (deploy) unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION

¾Use of Mazda genuine ﬂoor

coverings is recommended. Use the ﬂoor coverings made for the vehicle and do not use an over-sized

covering.

ﬂoor Always heed the following precautions when using coverings.

¾Do not use ﬂoor coverings stacked

on top of each other.

¾Use only ﬂoor coverings secured

ﬁrmly with hooks on the ﬂoor carpet.

Otherwise, the ﬂoor covering may slide or a pedal may get caught on the ﬂoor covering and the pedal operation could be obstructed leading to an accident.

ﬂoor

Adjust the tyre pressures to the speciﬁed value and do not use tyres with worn tyre grooves:

If the vehicle is driven with tyres that are not at the speciﬁed air pressure or with worn tyre grooves, vehicle systems will not operate normally which could cause an accident.

Page 10

Important and Useful Information to Know Before Using the Vehicle

¾Because the brake pads become wet

after driving through water puddles or washing the vehicle, the brake performance could be adversely aected or only the side where the brakes did not get wet will be applied, resulting in loss of steering wheel control. If the brakes do not operate normally, release the accelerator pedal and lightly apply the brakes several times while driving the vehicle to dry the brakes until they return to normal.

¾Be very careful not to damage the

vehicle's undercarriage, such as the bumpers, when driving under the following conditions:

¾Parking in a parking space with

speed bumps

¾Parking on the shoulder of a road

¾Crossing over dierences in road

level such as at the shoulder of a road

¾Entering/exiting a steep slope such

as at the entrance/exit of a parking lot

¾Driving on bumpy or rutted roads

¾Always start the EV system even

when slightly moving the vehicle. If the vehicle moves on a downslope by the inclination, the steering wheel could lock or the brakes may not operate normally, resulting in an accident.

¾If the steering wheel is kept turned

completely to the left or right for long periods, it could damage the power steering equipment.

¾Apply the parking brake, switch the

power switch OFF, and lock all the doors before leaving the vehicle. In addition, to prevent theft of valuables, do not leave them inside the cabin.

Page 11

Important and Useful Information to Know Before Using the Vehicle

NOTE

If the brake pedal is continuously depressed on a slope, the brakes could overheat and adversely aect brake performance. When driving on downslopes, operate the regeneration braking and the foot brake together.

Always depress the brake pedal with your right foot. Applying the brakes with the left foot could slow your reaction time to an emergency situation resulting in braking operation.

Wear appropriate shoes for driving to avoid your shoe contacting the brake pedal when depressing the accelerator pedal.

Firmly depress the brake pedal to keep the vehicle stopped, and if necessary, apply the parking brake.

Always conﬁrm the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.

After stopping at a before leaving a parking space, always check the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.

If the visibility behind the vehicle is poor while reversing, get out of the vehicle and check the area behind the vehicle for safety.

Seat Precautions

▼

WARNING

Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place:

Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seatback.

Never allow children to adjust a seat:

Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious injury if a child's hands or feet become caught in the seat.

Do not drive with the seatback unlocked:

All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle. Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.

Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is stopped:

If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is being driven, the seating posture may become unstable and the seat could move unexpectedly resulting in injury.

Do not modify or replace the front seats:

Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag components essential to the supplementary restraint system. Such modiﬁcations could damage the supplementary restraint system and result in serious injury. Consult an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) if there is any need to remove or reinstall the front seats.

Do not drive with damaged front seats:

Driving with damaged front seats, such as seat cushions torn or damaged down to the urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong enough to inﬂate the air bags, could damage the front seats which contain essential air bag components. If there was a subsequent collision, an air bag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) inspect the front seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air bags after a collision.

Seats

Do not drive with either front seats reclined:

Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you do not get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suer serious internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.

Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:

Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.

Do not place objects under the seat:

The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be result in an accident.

Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:

Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, objects can ﬂy around and become projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.

Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury. Additionally, if the air bags deploy, the cargo may scatter which could result in serious injury or death.

ﬁxed

Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving:

Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particularly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward, back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause serious injury.

CAUTION

¾When operating a seat, be careful

not to put your hands or the moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.

¾When moving the seats, make sure

there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.

¾(Manual Seat)

When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury.

¾When inserting your hand under the

seat to clean the cabin or pick up something you dropped under the seat, be careful not to hurt yourself. If you contact the moving parts and surrounding parts around the seat rail, seat frame, and the bottom of the seat, it could result in injury.

Seat Belt Systems

Seat Belt Precautions

▼

Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury during accidents and sudden stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and all passengers always wear seat belts. All the seats have lap/shoulder belts. These belts also have retractors with inertia locks that keep them out of the way when not in use. The locks allow the belts to remain comfortable on users, but they will lock in position during a collision.

WARNING

Always wear your seat belt and make sure all occupants are properly restrained:

Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous. During a collision, occupants not wearing seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle or even be thrown out of the vehicle. They could be seriously injured or even killed. In the same collision, occupants wearing seat belts would be much safer.

Do not wear twisted seat belts:

Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is not available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt, which could cause serious injury or death. So, if your seat belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to remove any twists and to allow the full width of the belt to be used.

Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time:

Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and always operate the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.

Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt:

Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the belt webbing of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide adequate protection in a collision. Have an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) inspect all seat belt systems in use during an accident before they are used again.

Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load limiter has been expended:

Always have an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) immediately inspect the seat belt pretensioners and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters will only function once and must be replaced after any collision that caused them to deploy. If the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are not replaced, the risk of injury in a collision will increase.

Positioning the Shoulder Portion of the Seat Belt:

Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous. Always make sure the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positioned across your shoulder and near your neck, but never under your arm, on your neck, or on your upper arm.

Do not use a front seat belt while seated in a rear seat:

Using a front seat belt, which is stored in the rear door, is dangerous as the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity during sudden braking or in a collision, which could result in serious, injury or death. In addition, using the seat belt in this manner could damage the rear seat belt buckle.

Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt:

The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision, this would concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area, causing serious injury. Wear the lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as possible.

Instructions for Use of Seat Belt Assemblies:

Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. Seatbelts should be adjusted as ﬁrmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection aorded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap. No modiﬁcations or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

CAUTION

Belt retraction may become dicult 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 6-44).

Position the lap belt as low as possible, not on the abdominal area, then adjust the shoulder belt so that it ﬁts snugly against your body.

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 this fails, pull the belt strongly 1 time and loosen, then pull it out again slowly.

Limiting Systems

For optimum protection, the front seat belts and rear outboard seat belts equipped with pretensioner and load limiting systems. For both these systems to work properly you must wear the seat belt properly.

Pretensioners:

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. For deployment details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page 2-62).

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. Refer to Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning Indication/Warning Light on page 7-39.

In addition, the pretensioner system for the front passenger, like the front and side passenger air bag, is designed to only deploy when the front passenger air bag deactivation switch is turned to the ON position.

*Some models.

Page 58

Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

For details, refer to Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch (page 2-54).

Load limiter:

The load limiting system releases belt webbing in a controlled manner to reduce belt force on the occupant's chest. While the most severe load on a seat belt occurs in frontal collisions, the load limiter has an automatic mechanical function and can activate in any accident mode with sucient occupant movement. Even if the pretensioners have not ﬁred, the load limiting function must be checked by an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).

WARNING

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 "Fastening the Seat Belt" (page 2-28).

Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load limiter has been expended:

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 repairers 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 expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) safely dispose of the pretensioner system or scrap a pretensioner system equipped vehicle.

Precautions

Child-Restraint Precautions

▼

Mazda strongly urges the use of child-restraint systems for children small enough to use them. Mazda recommends use of a Mazda genuine child-restraint system or one that complies with the UNR UNR 129 regulation. If you would like to purchase a Mazda genuine child-restraint system, please contact an Authorised Mazda Repairer. Check your local and state or provincial laws for speciﬁc requirements regarding the safety of children riding in your vehicle.

1 UNR stands for United Nations

Regulation.

Whatever child-restraint system you consider, please pick the appropriate one for the age and size of the child, obey the law and follow the instructions that come with the individual child-restraint system.

A child who has outgrown child-restraint systems should sit in the rear and use seat belts.

The child-restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. Statistics conﬁrm that the rear seat is the best place for all children up to 12 years of age-the more so with a supplementary restraint system (air bags).

44 or

A rear-facing child-restraint system should NEVER be used in the front passenger seat with the air bag system activated. The front passenger's seat is also the least preferred seat for other child-restraint systems.

For some models, we have provided a deactivation switch that will disable front passenger air bag inﬂation. Do not switch o the front passenger air bag without reading the “Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch” (page 2-54).

WARNING

Use the correct size child-restraint system:

For eective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending on age and size. If not, the child could be seriously injured or even killed in an accident.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and always keep the child-restraint system buckled down:

An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Make sure any child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten it with a seat belt, or latch it down to BOTH ISOFIX anchors, and attach the corresponding tether anchor.

2-33

Page 61

Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint system:

Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden stop or collision and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the child may be exposed to air bag forces that could result in serious injury or death to the child, or the child may be slammed into an adult, causing injury to both child and adult.

Extreme Hazard! Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat with an air bag that could deploy:

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur. Vehicles with a front passenger air bag have the following warning label. The warning label reminds you not to put a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat at any time.

Even in a moderate collision, 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. When using a rear-facing child-restraint system, always set the front passenger air bag deactivation switch to the OFF position.

Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it is unavoidable:

In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child. If installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is unavoidable, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust the seat bottom (height adjustable seat bottom) to the highest position at which the seat belt fastening the child-restraint system is securely tightened.

2-34

Page 62

Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Make sure that the front passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position. Refer to Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch (page 2-54).

Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over to or against the side window of a vehicle with side and curtain air bags:

It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over to or against the side window, the area of the front passenger seat, the front and rear window pillars and the roof edge along both sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy, even if a child-restraint system is used. The impact of inﬂation from a side or curtain air bag could cause serious injury or death to an out of position child. Furthermore, leaning over to or against the door could block the side and curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of supplementary protection. Because the front seats are equipped with front air bags, the rear seat is always a better location for children. Take special care not to allow a child to lean over to or against the side window, even if the child is seated in a child-restraint system.

Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time:

Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system:

Child-restraint system anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly installed child-restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Always remove the head restraint and install child-restraint system (except when installing a booster seat):

Installing a child-restraint system without removing the head restraint is dangerous. The child-restraint system cannot be installed correctly which may result in death or injury to the child in a collision.

CAUTION

A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child touches them.

(SRS) Precautions

The front and side supplementary restraint systems (SRS) include types of air bags. Please verify the

dierent 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 bag)

The front passenger instrument panel (front passenger air bag)

Under the instrument panel (driver knee air bag)

The inboard/outboard sides of the driver’s seatback (side air bags (inboard/outboard) for driver)

The outboard side of the front passenger’s seatback (side air bag (outboard) for front passenger)

The outboard sides of the rear seatbacks (side air bags for rear passengers)

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

Some vehicles have a sensor which detects an impending roll-over accident.

dierent

The air bag supplementary restraint systems are designed to provide supplementary 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:

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 inﬂation, such as rear impact.

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.

A child who is too small to use a seat belt must be properly secured using a child-restraint system (page 2-33).

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.

2-49

SRS Air Bags

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.

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.

Extreme Hazard! Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat with an air bag that could deploy:

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

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 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 centre 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 centre of the seat while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.

Do not attach objects on or around the area where air bags deploy:

Attaching objects to the air bags or placing something in the area where the air bags deploy is dangerous. In an accident, an object could interfere with air bag inﬂation and injure the occupants. Furthermore, the bag could be damaged causing gases to release. Always keep the deployment area of the air bag modules free of any obstructions. For example, you should not do any of the following as it may interfere with air bag deployment.

¾Do not put a covering on or lean

anything against areas such as the instrument panel and lower portion of the instrument panel that blocks the passenger front air bag and knee air bags.

¾Do not use seat covers on the front

seats and rear seats equipped with in-seat side air bags.

¾Do not hang any backpacks, bags or

pouches that cover the sides of the seats that block the side air bags.

¾Do not place any objects on the

assist grips. Only hang clothes directly on the coat hooks.

Do not touch the components of the supplementary restraint system after the air bags have inﬂated:

Touching the components of the supplementary restraint system after the air bags have inﬂated is dangerous. Immediately after 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 aected. This could cause air bags to unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from 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 modify a front door or leave any damage unrepaired. Always have an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 supplementary 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 aected 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 seat belt pretensioners may not operate normally which could result in serious injury to occupants.

Do not modify the supplementary restraint system:

Modifying the components or wiring of the supplementary restraint system is dangerous. You could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not make any modiﬁcations to the supplementary 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 expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 driver seat slide position sensor is not damaged 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 supplementary 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 supplementary 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 expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 aord you the necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could result in serious injury or death.

2-52

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Do not remove interior air bag parts:

Removing any components such as the front seats, front instrument panel, 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 expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) safely dispose of the air bag system or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.

NOTE

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 warns against the use of a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat.

How the SRS Air Bags

Work

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.

Seat Belt Pretensioners

▼

The pretensioners operate dierently depending on what types of air bags are equipped. For more details about seat belt pretensioner operation, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page 2-62).

Front

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.

Rear Outboard

The rear outboard 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.

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 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 2-62). 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.

2-58

Page 86

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Front Passenger Air Bag

▼

The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger instrument panel. 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 2-62).

Driver Knee Air Bag

▼

The knee air bag is equipped under the instrument panel. If the air bag crash sensors receive a frontal impact of greater than moderate force, the knee air bag deploys immediately to reduce impact to the driver's legs. For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" (page 2-62).

Side Air Bags

▼

There are 3 types of side air bags including the side air bags for the driver and front passenger (inboard/ outboard) and rear passengers (outboard).

Front seat side air bags

The front seat side air bags are installed in the inboard side of the driver’s seatback and in the outboard sides of the driver and front passenger ’s seatbacks. When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact greater than moderate force, the system side air bag and the side air bag on the outboard side where the vehicle was hit. The side air bags instantaneously to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger’s head and chest caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door, window or an occupant. For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" (page 2-62).

The rear seat side air bags are installed in the rear pillars. The rear seat side air bags on the side where the vehicle is hit deploys regardless of whether or not an occupant is seated. For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" (page 2-62).

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. For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" (page 2-62).

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.

2-60

Page 88

(Vehicles with side air bag (inboard))

Both side curtain air bags will deploy regardless of the side the vehicle receives the impact on.

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.

The brake system operates automatically.

Several minutes have passed since the EV system was stopped.

Vibration of brake pedal

Vibration of the brake pedal might be felt under the following conditions:

The power switch is switched ON.

The brake pedal is operated.

High voltage battery level and temperature

If the high voltage battery level is low or the high voltage battery temperature is low, the vehicle speed may not increase even if the accelerator pedal is depressed because the motor output is restricted. Drive the vehicle following the instructions displayed on the multi-information display.

To Extend Cruising Distance

The electrical power consumption while driving can be reduced and the cruising distance can be extended by doing the following operations.

With the charging connector connected, turn on the air-conditioning system to provide a comfortable temperature in the cabin before driving.

When driving during cold temperatures, use the seat warmer or steering warmer instead of the air-conditioning system.

Adjust the air-conditioning system to a moderate airﬂow and temperature setting.

Refrain from using the defogger under conditions other than when a window is fogged or frozen.

Unload unnecessary cargo to reduce the vehicle weight.

Avoid unnecessary sudden acceleration, rapid acceleration, and rapid deceleration. Instead, perform smooth starts, acceleration, and deceleration.

Try to drive maintaining a constant speed and avoid speeding.

Inspect the tyre pressures regularly and always adjust the tyre pressures to the speciﬁed inﬂation pressure.

By maintaining a sucient distance between vehicles and using the regenerative braking well, more electrical power can be charged to the high voltage battery.

Pointers for Maintaining Long Battery Life

The high voltage battery life changes depending on the vehicle conditions or charging method. For maintaining a long high voltage battery life, be careful of the following:

Charging the high voltage battery

Avoid unnecessary, frequent charging.

Charge the battery normally and avoid quick charging as much as possible.

Only charge the battery with as much power as needed, and do not always fully charge the battery. The maximum charge limit can be set. Refer to Charging Settings on page 3-26.

Parking the vehicle

Do not park the vehicle in a place where the ambient temperature is extremely high or low.

Do not leave the vehicle while the remaining high voltage battery power is extremely low.

If the Excessive Battery Temperature notiﬁcation

is displayed on the centre display after driving the vehicle, select Start.
