Front Seat Belt Pretensioner

and Load Limiting Systems

For optimum protection, the driver and

front passen ger 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.

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 autom atic 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 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 2-19).

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

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 seat belt

at all, using a seat belt with an

expended pretensioner or load limiter

loaded reduces the safety available to

you. If the seat belt pretensioners are

not replaced, the risk of injury in a

collision will increase. 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

this is another reason to have the

front seat belts inspected. Always

have an Authorized Mazda Dealer

inspect the seat belt pretensioners

and air bags after any collision.
