Collision from side of vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mazda CX-30. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Because a sensor is built into the side air bag sensor, once the side air bag, the curtain air bag and the pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the side air bag sensor must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation. If the side air bag sensor is reused, the side air bag, the curtain air bag and the pretensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident. Always replace the side air bag sensor with a new one.
