Belt Minder
NOTE:
The belt minder can be deactivated. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to deactivate or restore the seat belt minder.
Driver seated/Front passenger not seated
The belt minder is a supplemental warning to the seat belt warning function.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON, the warning light/beep operates to give you further reminders according to the chart below.
Once the beep sound is heard, it continues sounding even if the vehicle speed lowers to 20 km/h (12 mph) or less until the seatbelt is fastened or the beep sound period has passed.
Driver seated/Front passenger seated
The seat belt warning function reminds the front passenger to fasten the seat belt according to the chart below.
Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
Once the beep sound is heard, it continues sounding even if the vehicle speed lowers to 20 km/h (12 mph) or less until the seatbelt is fastened or the beep sound period has passed.
NOTE:
- To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
- When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that neither the warning light nor the warning beep operate.
