If this indicator light does not illuminate even when the total seated weight is less than approximately 30 kg (66 lb), this means that the front passenger front and side air bags, and seat belt pretensioner are ready for deployment. If an accident were to deploy an air bag, a child sitting in the front passenger seat could be seriously injured or killed. If the indicator light does not illuminate after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the childrestraint system on the rear seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. While it is always better to install any child-restraint system on the rear seat, it is essential to do so if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate (page 2-53). Inspect this function before each use of the child-restraint system. You should not be able to pull the shoulder belt out of the retractor while the system is in the automatic locking mode. When you remove the child-restraint system, be sure the belt fully retracts to return the system to emergency locking mode before occupants use the seat belts. Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions carefully. Depending on the type of childrestraint system, it may not employ seat belts which are in automatic locking mode. l 5. Make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat. Refer to Front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on page 2-53. 2-39 Form No.8U66-EA-05F
