Seat Belt Systems
Pregnant Women and Persons with Serious Medical Conditions
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder properly, but never across the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical conditions also should wear seat belts. Check with your doctor for any special instructions regarding specific medical conditions.
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.
(Seat Belt with Automatic Locking Mode)
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in emergency locking mode until it is switched to automatic locking mode by pulling it all the way out to its full length. If the belt feels tight and hinders comfortable movement while the vehicle is stopped or in motion, it may be in automatic locking mode because the belt has been pulled too far out. To return the belt to the more comfortable emergency locking mode, wait until the vehicle has stopped in a safe, level area, retract the belt fully to convert it back to emergency locking mode, and then extend it around you again.
Automatic Locking Mode (Except Mexico)
Always use the automatic locking mode to keep the child-restraint system from shifting to an unsafe position in the event of an accident. To enable the seat belt’s automatic locking mode, pull it all the way out and connect it as instructed on the child-restraint system. It will retract down to the child-restraint system and stay locked on it. See the section on child restraint.
NOTE
If a belt does not fully retract, inspect it for kinks and twists. If it is still not retracting properly, have it inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer?
Front Shoulder Belt Adjuster
The front seat belts have a front shoulder belt adjuster. If the seat belt contacts your neck or it slips off the shoulder, adjust the seat belt height.
To raise
To heighten the seat belt, move the front shoulder belt adjuster upward.
To lower
To lower the seat belt, lower it with the knob of the front shoulder belt adjuster pressed.
After adjusting, press the front shoulder belt adjuster downward and make sure that it is securely locked.
Front Seat Belt Pretensioner and Load Limiting Systems
For optimum protection, the driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with pre-tensioner 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 pretensions deploy simultaneously with the airbags.
For vehicles with the front passenger occupant classification system, the pretensioners deploy simultaneously with the airbags when a rollover is also detected.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria.
The seat belt retractors remove slack quickly as the airbags are expanding. Any time the airbags 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/Front Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning Indication/Warning Light on.
Refer to Air Bag/Front Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning Beep on.
(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
In addition, the pretensioner system for the front passenger, like the front and side passenger airbag, is designed to only deploy in accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger seat weight sensors.
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 sufficient occupant movement. Even if the pre-tensioners have not fired, the load-limiting function must be checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING:
Wear seat belts only as recommended in this owner’s manual:
Incorrect positioning of the seat belts is dangerous. Without proper positioning, the pre-tensioner 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”.
Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load limiter has been expended:
Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer immediately inspect the seat belt pre-tensioners and air bags after any collision. Like the airbags, the seat belt pre-tensioners and load limiters will only function once and must be replaced after any collision that caused them to deploy. A seat belt with an expended pre-tensioner or load limiter is still better than wearing no seat belt at all; however, if the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are not replaced, the risk of injury in a collision will increase.
Do not modify the components or wiring, or use electronic testing devices on the pretensioner system:
Modifying the components or wiring of the pre-tensioner 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 pre tensioners is dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer safely dispose of the pretensioner system or scrap a pretensioner system-equipped vehicle.
NOTE:
- The pre-tensioner system may not operate depending on the type of collision. For details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria.
- Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be released when the airbags and pretensioners deploy. This does not indicate a fire. This gas normally has no effect on occupants, however, those with sensitive skin may experience light skin irritation. If residue from the deployment of the airbags or the pretensioner system gets on the skin or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as possible.
