Pretensioner Systems Warning
Light
If the air bag 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.

maintenance. But if any of the following
occurs, take your vehicle to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible:

Self-Servicing the Air Bag Systems:

Authorized Mazda Dealer perform all
servicing and repairs.
