Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mazda dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING

Do not drive the vehicle while the front seat belt pretensioner/airbag warning buzzer is sounding:

Driving the vehicle while the front seat belt pretensioner/airbag warning buzzer is sounding is dangerous. In a collision, the airbags and front seat belt pretensioners will not deploy, which may result in death or serious injury.

• Some models do not have the front passenger seat belt reminder function.
• If heavy objects are placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger seat belt warning light/beep function may activate, depending on the weight of the objects.

• When a small child sits in the front passenger seat, the alarm beep may not sound.

Ignition switch not turned off (STOP) buzzer

If the driver's door is opened while the ignition switch is in the ACC position, a continuous beep sounds to warn the driver that the ignition switch is not turned off (STOP). (For vehicles equipped with a Type A instrument cluster, messages are shown on the instrument panel.) The keyless entry system will not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked, and the battery will discharge.

Under the following conditions, a beep sounds and the KEY indicator (red) flashes continuously if the ignition switch is not in the off position, to warn the driver that the key has been removed. (For vehicles equipped with a Type A instrument cluster, messages are shown on the instrument panel.) The KEY indicator (red) stops flashing once the key is returned to the vehicle. (For vehicles equipped with a Type A instrument cluster, messages are shown on the instrument panel.) Conditions: The ignition switch is not turned to the off position and all doors are closed after the key is removed from the vehicle. (The beep sounds 6 times.)
