When the ignition switch is turned to the

switch is in the OFF position, the
indicator light remains on to warn that the
passenger-side air bag has been
deactivated.

To Deactivate The Passenger-Side
Air Bag
1. Insert the key into the switch.
2. Turn the key clockwise until the key
points to OFF.
3. Remove the key.
4. Make sure the air bag deactivation
indicator light remains on when the
ignition is in the ON position.
The passenger-side air bag will remain
deactivated until the passenger-side air
bag deactivation switch is turned to the
ON position.
NOTE
Have the passenger-side air bag
deactivation switch inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer if any of
these conditions occur:
•
The indicator doesn’t come on
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.
•
The indicator doesn’t remain on
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and the passenger-side
air bag deactivation switch is in the
OFF position.
•
The indicator remains on when the
ignition switch is in the ON position
and the passenger-side air bag
deactivation switch is in the ON
position.
Leaving the Key in the Passenger-
Side Air Bag Deactivation Switch:
Unintentional deactivation of the
passenger-side air bag is dangerous.
In an accident, the passenger will not
be properly protected. Serious injuries
or even death could occur. To avoid
unintentional deactivation, always
use the same key to operate the
passenger-side air bag deactivation
switch and the ignition switch, that
way you won’t leave the key in the
passenger-side air bag deactivation
switch.
