Page 69: How The Srs Air Bags Work
Wednesday, July 8 2009 12:4 AM How the SRS Air Bags Work Your Mazda is equipped with the following types of SRS air bags. SRS air bags are designed to work together with the seat belts to help to reduce injuries during an accident.
Page 70 CX-9_8AU2-EA-09G_Edition1 Page70 Wednesday, July 8 2009 12:4 AM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags qFront Passenger Air Bag The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger dashboard.
