Electromagnetic Compatibility

Your Mazda has been tested and certified to the UNECE*1 10 regulation as related to electromagnetic compatibility. Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter equipment (e.g. cellular telephones, amateur radio transmitters, etc.) may only be fitted to your Mazda if they comply with the parameters shown in the table below.

  It is your responsibility to ensure that any equipment you have fitted complies with applicable local legislations. Have any equipment fitted by properly trained technicians.
 
  • Do not mount any transceiver, microphones, speakers, or any other item in the deployment path of the air bag system.

  • Keep the aerial and power leads at least 100 mm (3.9 in) from any electronic modules and the air bags.
  • Avoid using the cigar lighter or accessory socket as a power source for the RF-transmitting equipment.
