NOTE

Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to deactivate or restore the belt minder. Though the belt minder can be deactivated, doing so will defeat the purpose of the system to warn the driver and the front passenger in the event that their seat belts are not fastened. For the safety of the driver and front passenger, Mazda recommends not deactivating the belt minder.

Driver's seat

If the driver's seat belt is not fastened and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light will flash and a beep sound will be heard.

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 seat belt is fastened or the beep sound period has passed.

Front passenger seat

If the front passenger seat belt is not fastened while the ignition is switched ON, the driver and the passenger will be informed by the warning light.
