If the airbag system and the front seat belt pretensioners are in good condition, the malfunction indicator light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to «ON» (ignition on) or when the starter is turned on. After about 6 s, the malfunction indicator goes out.
If the indicator flashes, stays on or does not turn on at all when the ignition switch is turned to the «ON» (ignition on), - this indicates a malfunction of the airbag system or seat belt pretensioners. In this case, immediately contact a service station of an authorized Mazda dealer. If the indicator indicates a malfunction, the system may not operate in the event of an accident.
