To prevent false detection by the air
bag sensor system, heed the
following.
Do not use tires or wheels other than
those specified for your Mazda.
Use of any tire or wheel other than
those
specified
for your Mazda (page
10-65) is dangerous. Use of such
wheels will prevent the vehicle's
accident detection system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is
dangerous as it could prevent the air
bag crash sensor system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries. The gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) and the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for
your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the
driver's door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
Do not drive the vehicle off-road.
Driving your Mazda
off-road
is
dangerous because the vehicle has
not been designed to do so. Driving
the vehicle off-road could prevent
the air bag crash sensor system from
accurately detecting a collision or
roll-over accident resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
Do not modify a door or leave any
damage unrepaired. Always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect a
damaged door.
Modifying a door or leaving any
damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each
door has a side crash sensor as a
component of the supplemental
restraint system. If holes are drilled in a
door, a door speaker is left removed,
or a damaged door is left unrepaired,
the sensor could be adversely affected
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 air bags
and the seat belt pretensioner may not
operate normally which could result in
serious injury to occupants.
Do not modify the supplemental
restraint system.
Modifying the components or wiring of
the supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable. Do
not make any
modifications
to the
supplemental 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer can provide the special
care needed in the removal and
installation of seats. It is important to
protect the air bag wiring and
connections to assure that the bags do
not accidentally deploy, and that the
passenger occupant classification
system and the seats retain an
undamaged air bag connection.
