• Front passenger sensing system • Passenger Airbag Off indicator light. • Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors. • Restraint system warning light and back-up tone.
Driver ’s seat position sensor The driver’ s seat position sensor allows your Personal Safety System™ to tailor the deployment level of the driver dual-stage airbag based on seat position. The system is designed to help protect smaller drivers sitting close to the driver airbag by providing a lower airbag output level.
Front seat belt usage sensors The front seat belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and front outboard passenger seat belts are fastened. This information allows your Personal Safety System™ to tailor the airbag deployment and seat belt pretensioner activation depending upon seat belt usage.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently , have the Personal Safety System™ serviced at an authorized dealer immediately . Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision.
W ARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific seat belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair . 1) Use the shoulder belt on the outside shoulder only . Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm.
W ARNING: The lap belts should fit snugly and as low as possible around the hips, not around the waist. Failure to position the lap belt correctly may cause serious injury in an accident. Insert the tongue into the correct buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from).
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner sharply , or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination seat belts will lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.
How to disengage the automatic locking mode Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
• Regular Cab and four–door Cab Plus 4 T o lower the shoulder belt height, push the button and slide the height adjuster down. T o raise the height of the shoulder belt, slide the height adjuster up. Pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is locked in place.
shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seatback (if equipped), child safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if equipped), and attaching hardware, should be inspected after a collision. Mazda recommends that all seat belt assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced.
Belt-Minder 姞 The Belt-Minder 威 feature is a supplemental warning to the seat belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the seat belt warning light in the instrument cluster when the driver’ s and front passenger’ s seat belt is unbuckled.
If... Then... The driver’ s or front passenger’ s seat belt becomes unbuckled for approximately 1 minute while the vehicle is traveling at least 3 mph (5 km/h) and more than 1-2 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch has been turned to ON.
Reasons given... Consider ... ⬙ The people I’m with don’t wear belts ⬙ Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times more often in vehicles with TWO or MORE people. Children and younger brothers/sisters imitate behavior they see. ⬙ I have an airbag ⬙ Airbags offer greater protection when used with seat belts.
• The parking brake is set • The gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission) • The ignition switch is in the OFF position • The driver and front passenger seat belts are unbuckled W ARNI.
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) The airbag supplemental restraint system is designed to work in conjunction with the seat belts to help protect the driver and front outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term “supplemental restraint” means the airbags are intended as a supplement to the seat belts.
W ARNING: Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently and the risk of injury from a deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module. Always wear your seat belt. W ARNING: Airbags have been known to kill or injure a child in front facing child restraints.
W ARNING: National Highway T raffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) between an occupant’ s chest and the driver air bag module. W ARNING: Never place your arm or feet over the airbag module as a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
Children and airbags For additional important safety information, read all information on safety restraints in this guide. W ARNING: Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat. W ARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness lights will either flash or stay lit. • The readiness lights will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. • A series of five beeps will be heard.
• the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat, • a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time, W ARNING: Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the back seat (if equipped).

If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact the Mazda Customer Relationship Center at the phone number shown in the Customer Assistance section of this Owner’ s Manual. The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objects placed on the seat cushion.
NOTE: Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or child restraint you might use. W ARNING: Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat. Children and seat belts If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a safety seat.
Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 pounds and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, these children are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , which could increase the risk of serious injury .
T ypes of booster seats There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats: • Those that are backless. If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield and use the lap/shoulder belt.
Children and booster seats vary widely in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder .
SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN Child and infant or child safety seats Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’ s instructions with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
W ARNING: Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’ s instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly , the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision. Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts (front outboard passenger seat only) 1.
3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
7. Pull the lap belt portion across the child seat toward the buckle and pull up on the shoulder belt while pushing down with knee on the child seat. 8. Allow the seat belt to retract to remove any slack in the belt. 9. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly tilt the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view): • Bucket seats • 60/40 seats W ARNING: Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor .
3. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. The tether anchor is located on the rear lower portion of the passenger seat. 4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor . W ARNING: If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision.
Center seating location 60/40 seats with folding armrest When installing a child safety seat in the center position, route the tether strap over the center arm rest and clip it to the center anchor . W ARNING: If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision.
NOTICE TO UTILITY VEHICLE AND TRUCK OWNERS Utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road.
Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow you to select different drive modes as necessary . Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be found in the Driving chapter .
• Narrower — to provide greater maneuverability in tight spaces, particularly in off-road use. As a result of the above dimensional differences, SUV’ s and trucks often will have a higher center of gravity and a greater difference in center of gravity between the loaded and unloaded condition.
T readwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
Glossary of tire terminology • T ire label: A label showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation pressure and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry .
Every day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires and adjust if required. At least once a month and before long trips, inspect each tire and check the tire pressure with a tire gauge (including spare, if equipped).
door . The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or T ire Label. When weather temperature changes occur , tire inflation pressures also change. A 10° F (6° C) temperature drop can cause a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges. TIRE CARE Inspecting your tires Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and remove objects such as stones, nails or glass that may be wedged in the tread grooves.
W ARNING: Age T ires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather , storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, etc.) the tires experience throughout their lives. In general, tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread wear .
W ARNING: Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size, load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric versus L T -metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Mazda.
It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be replaced as a pair . The tire pressure sensors mounted in the wheels (originally installed on your vehicle) are not designed to be used in aftermarket wheels.
Tire and wheel alignment A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your vehicle to become misaligned or cause damage to your tires. If your vehicle seems to pull to one side, vibrate or shake when you’re driving, the wheels may be out of alignment.
• Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles (front tires at top of diagram) • Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles/Four Wheel Drive (4WD)/All Wheel Drive (A WD) vehicles (front tires at top of diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.
Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask a qualified technician at a Mazda dealership to check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation. Note: Y our vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel.
4. R: Indicates a “radial” type tire. 5. 15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter . 6. 95: Indicates the tire’ s load index. It is an index that relates to how much weight a tire can carry .
8. U.S. DOT T ire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
13. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: Indicates the tire manufacturers’ maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
Information on “T” type tires “T” type tires have some additional information beyond those of “P” type tires; these differences are described below: T145/80D16 is an example of a tire size. Note: The temporary tire size for your vehicle may be different from this example.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. W ARNING: The T ire Pressure Monitoring System is NOT a substitute for manually checking tire pressure.
When your temporary spare tire is installed When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary spare, the TPMS system will continue to identify an issue to remind you that the damaged road wheel/tire needs to be repaired and put back on your vehicle.

Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when filling an ungrounded fuel container: • Place approved fuel container on the ground.
Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap lamp or “check fuel cap” message on may cause the lamp to turn on as well. If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler cap that is designed for your vehicle.
Octane recommendations Y our vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. W e do not recommend the use of gasolines labeled as “Regular” that are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.
• Normally , adding 1 gallon (3.8L) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 1 gallon (3.
• Always use fuel with the recommended octane rating. • Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a national brand. • Use the same side of the same pump and have the vehicle facing the same direction each time you fill up. • Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time.
• Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop. • Sudden or hard accelerations may reduce fuel economy . • Slow down gradually . • Driving at reasonable speeds (traveling at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15% less fuel than traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]).
• Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to driving on hilly terrain. • T ransmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal. • Four -wheel-drive operation (if equipped) is less fuel efficient than two-wheel-drive operation.
W ARNING: Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover . The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
4. Driving through deep water—the electrical system may be wet. These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel, properly tightening the fuel cap or letting the electrical system dry out.
15 minutes of steady driving on an expressway/highway followed by 20 minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30-second idle periods. Allow the vehicle to sit for at least eight hours without starting the engine. Then, start the engine and complete the above driving cycle.
• 4.0L V6 engine Check the power steering fluid. Refer to the service maintenance section for the service interval schedules. 1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be near the center of the normal area between H and C).
BRAKE FLUID The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear , and will rise when the brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the “MIN” and “MAX” lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid.
T RANSMISSION FLUID Checking automatic transmission fluid • Refer to scheduled maintenance information for scheduled check and change intervals. • T ransmission does not consume fluid. • Check fluid when transmission is not operating properly or if you see a leak.
Low fluid level Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid level is at or below the bottom of the dipstick. High fluid level Fluid levels above the safe range may cause overheating, shift and/or engagement concerns and internal transmission damage. If an overfill condition occurs, excess fluid should be removed by an authorized dealer .
6. Fluid level should be at the bottom of the opening. 7. Add enough fluid through the filler opening so that the fluid level is at the bottom of the opening. 8. Install and tighten the fill plug securely . Use only fluid that meets Mazda specifications.
