Seat Belt Extender - Mazda 2014 Zoom-Zoom User Manual

Essential Safety Equipment
Seat Belt Systems
NOTE
The pretensioner system will activate in a
l
moderate or greater frontal or near-frontal,
or a severe side collision. It will not
activate in most rollovers, rear impacts.
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
In addition, the pretensioner system for the
front passenger is designed to only deploy
in accordance with the total seated weight
on the front passenger seat.
Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be
l
released when the air bags and
pretensioners deploy. This does not indicate
a fire. This gas normally has no effect on
occupants, however, those with sensitive
skin may experience light skin irritation. If
residue from the deployment of the air bags
or the front pretensioner system gets on the
skin or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as
possible.

Seat Belt Extender

If your seat belt is not long enough, even
when fully extended, a seat belt extender
may be available to you at no charge from
your Authorized Mazda Dealer.
This extender will be only for you and for
the particular vehicle and seat. Even if it
plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold
in the critical moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order
one that provides the necessary additional
length to fasten the seat belt properly.
Please contact your Authorized Mazda
Dealer for more information.
WARNING
Do not use a seat belt extender unless
it is necessary:
Using a seat belt extender when not
necessary is dangerous. The seat belt
will be too long and not fit properly.
In an accident, the seat belt will not
provide adequate protection and you
could be seriously injured. Only use
the extender when it is required to
fasten the seat belt properly.
