Mazda 6 Manual page 73

NOTE
The system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the front passenger front and
l
side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.
The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on repeatedly if luggage or
l
other items are put on the front passenger seat, or if the temperature of the vehicle's interior
changes suddenly.
The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds if the
l
electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.
The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the front passenger
l
seat receives a severe impact.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing a child-
l
restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re-install your child-restraint system according
to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light still does not turn on, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an occupant is seated
l
directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture by sitting with their
feet on the floor, and then re-fastening the seat belt. If the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light remains turned on, move the passenger to the rear seat. If sitting in the rear seat is
not possible, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
