Mazda3_8V66-EA-06F_Edition2 Page66 Friday, May 26 2006 10:53 AM Black plate (66,1) Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags WARNING Do not increase the total seated weight on the passenger seat: When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, increasing the total seated weight on the front passenger seat from the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg (66 lb) is dangerous. The front passenger seat weight sensors will detect the increased total seated weight, which could result in the unexpected deployment of the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system in an accident and may cause serious injury. Increasing the total seated weight on the front passenger seat beyond the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg (66 lb) could result in the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system deployment in an accident under the following conditions, for example: l Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint system. l A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback. l A rear passenger steps on the front passenger seat rails with the feet. l Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint. l The seat is washed. l Liquids are spilled on the seat. l The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items placed behind it. l The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat. l Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat. l Any accessories which might increase the total seated weight on the front passenger seat are attached to the front passenger seat. The front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner systems will deactivate if the total seated weight on the front passenger seat is less than approximately 30 kg (66 lb) and they will reactivate when the weight exceeds approximately 42 kg (93 lb). 2-52 Form No.8V66-EA-06F
