WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
A live (undeployed) air bag module and/or pretensioner may accidentally deploy when it is disposed of. Personal injury may result. Do not dispose of a live air bag module and/or pretensioner. If deployment tool is not available, contact nearest Mazda representative for disposal instructions.
Driver- and passenger-side air bag modules are dual-stage air bags. When dual-stage inflators are forced simultaneously, one of them may fail to deploy. When deploying dual-stage air bags, ensure inflators are deployed sequentially (2 explosive sounds are heard).
Pouring water onto deployed air bags or pretensioners can create dangerous gas. Difficult breathing may result. Keep water away from deployed air bags and pretensioners.
