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 quickly as the air

bags are expanding. Any time the air bags

and front seat belt prete nsioners have

deployed they must be replaced.

(With Driver and Front Passenger

Occupant Classification System)

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 2-59).

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

deployed, the load limiting function must

be checked by an Authorized Mazda

Dealer after any collision.

WARNING

Wear seat belts only as recommended

in this owner's manual:

Incorrect positioning of the driver and

front passenger seat belts is

dangerous. Without proper

positioning, the pretensioner and

load limi ting 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

belts” (page 2-22).

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 limi ters 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.
