qHow the Side and Curtain Air Bags Work
When air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, an
electrical current is sent to the inflators.
Gases are produced to inflate the side and curtain air bags and after the inflation, the side
and curta in air bags quickly deflate.
The side and curtain air bags will function only once. After that, the side and curtain air
bags will not work again and must be replaced. Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can
replace the systems.
The side and curtain air bag will deploy only
on the side the vehicle receives the force of
the impact.
WARNING
Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other object s under the front seats is dangerous. The side and
curtain air bag wiring could be damaged, and in the event of a side collision, the side
and curtai n air bags may not deploy, which could result in death or serious injury. To
prevent damage to the side and curtain air bag wiring, do not place luggage or other
objects under the front seats.
