Deployment Procedures For Inside of Vehicle

AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES

WARNING: A live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt may accidentally deploy when it is disposed of and cause serious injury. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module. If the SSTs (Deployment tool and Adapter harness) are not available, consult the nearest Mazda representative for assistance.

CAUTION:
- Deploying the air bag modules Inside the vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle interior. When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, always deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.
- When the vehicle is to be scrapped, deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts inside the vehicle.
- When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.

NOTE: When disposing of a deployed air bag module, refer to air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt disposal procedure.
