Unfastening the Seat Belts
Depress the button on the buckle.
To secure the passenger's seat belt when
not in use, insert the belt tongue into the
slot.
For optimum protection, the driver and
passenger seat belts are equipped with
pretensioner and load limiting systems.
In moderate or greater frontal or near-
frontal accidents, the air bag and
pretensioner systems deploy
simultaneously. The pretensioners take up
slack in the seat belts as the air bags are
expanding. The seat belt pretensioner
system will only activate when a front seat
belt is properly fastened around the
occupant. The load limiting system
releases belt webbing in a controlled
manner to reduce belt force on the
occupant’s chest.
NOTE
If a belt does not fully retract, inspect it
for kinks and twists. If it is still not
retracting properly, have it inspected at
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Seat Belt Pretensioner and
Load Limiting Systems
Incorrect Positioning of the Driver
and Passenger Seat Belts:
Incorrect positioning of the driver
and 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 injury. Wear
seat belts only as recommended in
this owner’s manual.
