Front Seat Belt Pretensioner

and Load Limiting Systems

For optimum protection, the driver and

front passenger seat belts are equipped

with pretensioner and load limiting

systems. For both these systems to work

properly you must wear the seat belt

properly.

Pretensioners:

In moderate or severe frontal or near-

frontal accidents, the front air bag and

pretensioner systems deploy

simultaneously. The front seat belt

retractors remove slack quickl y as the air

bags are expanding. Any time the air bags

and front seat belt pretensioners have fired

they must be replaced.

In addition, the pretensioner system for

the front passenger, like the front

passenger air bag, 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 (page 2-44).

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 pretensioners have not fired,

the load limiting function must be

checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer

after any collision.

WARNING

Wear seat belts only as recom mended

in this owner's manual:

Incorrect positioning of the driver and

front 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 injur y.

For more details about wearing seat

belts, refer to “Fastening the seat

belts” (page 2-18).

Have your seat belts changed

immediately if the pretensioner or load

limiter has been expended:

One or both front air bags may

deploy, and the corresponding

pretensioner(s) may also deploy at

the same time. Like the air bags, the

front seat belt pretensioners will only

function once. While it is safer to use

a post-crash (a seat belt that was

used in an accident) than no front

seat belt at all, using a front seat belt

with an expended pretensioner or

load limiter loaded reduces the safety

available to you. If the front seat belt

pretensioners are not repla ced, the

risk of injury in a collision will

increase. Expended front 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

this is another reason to have the

front seat belts inspected . Always

have an Authorized Mazda Dealer

inspect the front seat belt

pretensioners and air bags after any

collision.
