Safety
• An immobilizer system has been adopted. This anti-theft device prevents the engine from being started unless
the encrypted identification code, transmitted from a special electronic chip embedded in the key, corresponds
with the identification code registered in the vehicle.
• World-class collision protection is provided due to the lightweight and highly rigid Mazda Advanced Impact-
energy Distribution and Absorption System body.
• Dual-inflator type air bags that control deployment of the air bags in two stages by detecting the scale of an
impact have been adopted for seat passengers.
• Side air bags that effectively protect the chest area have been adopted for the seats.
• Pre-tensioner and load limiter mechanisms have been adopted for the seat belts.
• A steering column designed to collapse horizontally to minimize impact to the driver’s head and chest has been
adopted.
• An intrusion minimizing brake pedal has been adopted.
• Both ISOFIX and tether strap anchors are provided in the seat for child-seat fixing.
