How the Air Bags Work

qHow the Front Air Bags Work

When air bag crash sensors detect a frontal impact of greater than moderate force, an

electrical current is sent to the inflators.

Gases are produced to inflate the front air bags and after the infl ation, the front air bags

quickly deflate.

The front air bags will function only once. After that, the front air bags will not work

again and must be replaced.

Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can replace the system components.

The front air bags will deploy only

in a frontal or frontal offset impact.

Driver seat slide position sensor

Your vehicle is equipped with a driver seat slide sensor as a part of the supplemental

restraint system. The sensor is located under the driver seat. The sensor determines whether

the driver seat is fore or aft of a reference position and sends the seat position to the crash

sensors and diagnostic module (SAS unit). The sensor is also designed to control the

deployment of the driver air bag depending on how close the driver seat is to the steering

wheel.

The air bag/ seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes if the sensor has a possible

malfunction (page 2-44).

Passenger seat weight sensors

Your vehicle is also equipped with the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light. The

deactivation indicator light illuminates when the key is used to turn the passenger air bag

off or the automatic function operates based on the passenger seat weight sensors. These

sensors are located under both of the passenger seat rails. These sensors determine the total

seated weight on the passenger seat. The sensors are also designed to prevent the passenger

front and side air b ags and seat belt pretensioner system from inflating if the total seated

weight is less than approximately 30 kg (66 lb).
