Seat Belt Pretensioner and

Load Limiting Systems

For optimum protection, the driver and

passenger seat belts are equipped with

pretensioner and load limiting systems.

In moderate or greater frontal or near-

frontal accidents, the air bag and

pretensioner systems deploy

simultaneously. The pretensioners take up

slack in the seat be lts as the air bags are

expanding. The seat belt pretensioner

system cannot provi de adequate

protection in an accident if the seat belt is

not fastened properly. The load limiting

system releases belt webbing in a

controlled manner to reduce belt force on

the occupant's chest.

WARNING

Incorrect Positioning of the Driver

and Passenger Seat Belts:

Incorrect positioning of the driver and

passenger seat belts is dangerous.

Without proper positioning, the

pretensioner and load limiting systems

cannot provide adequate protection in

an accident and this could result in

serious injury. Wear seat belts only as

recommended in this owner's manual

(page 2-8).

WARNING

Expended Seat Belt Pretensioners:

Air bags may deploy, and the

corresponding pretensioner(s) will

also deploy at the same time. Use of

seat belts with the pretensioner system

expended is dangerous. Like the air

bags, the seat belt pretensioners will

only function once. After they are

expended, they will not function again

and must be replaced immediately. If

the seat belt pretensioners are not

replaced, the risk of injury in a

collision will increa se. Always have an

Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect the

seat belt pretensioners and air bags

after an y collision. Expended seat belt

pretensioners and air bags must be

replaced after any collision which

caused them to deploy. Additionally,

the load limiter will only limit loads on

the chest once in a collision and is

another reason to have the seat belts

inspected.

Modification or Testing of the

Pretensioner System:

Modifying the components or wiring

of the pretensioner 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. Never

modify the components or wiring, or

use electronic testing devices on the

pretensioner system.
