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.
The SRS air bags are designed to provide
further protection for passengers in
addition to the seat belt functions. Be sure
to wear seat belts properly.

Front Seat Belt Pretensioners
The front seat belt pretensioners are
designed to deploy in moderate or severe
frontal, near frontal collisions.
In addition, the pretensioners operate
when a side collision or a roll-over
accident is detected. The pretensioners
operate differently depending on what
types of air bags are equipped. For more
details about seat belt pretensioner
operation, refer to the SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria (page 2-68).

Driver Air Bag
The driver's air bag is mounted in the
steering wheel.
When air bag crash sensors detect a frontal
impact of greater than moderate force, the
driver's air bag inflates quickly helping to
reduce injury mainly to the driver's head
or chest caused by directly hitting the
steering wheel.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-68).
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
The driver's dual-stage air bag controls air
bag inflation in two energy stages. During
an impact of moderate severity, the
driver's air bag deploys with lesser energy,
whereas during more severe impacts, it
deploys with more energy.
