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:

The front seat belt retractors remove slack

quickly as the air bags are expanding.

Any time the air bags and seat belt

pretensioners have fired they must be

replaced.

For deploy ment details, refer to the SRS

Air Bag Deploymen t Criteria (page 2-56).

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 driver and front

passenger occupant classification system

(page 2-59).

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.

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 2-19).

Have your seat belts changed

immediately if the pretensioner or load

limiter has been expended:

Always have an Authorized Mazda

Dealer immediately inspect the front

seat belt pretensioners and air bags

after any collision. Like the air bags,

the front seat belt pretensioners 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

pretensioner or load limiter is still

better than wearing no seat belt at

all; however, if the front seat belt

pretensioners and load limiters are

not replaced, the risk of injury in a

collision will increase.
