Airbag Question

Post by Bling Bling »

I've done some searching but couldn't find the answer I wanted. I have a 94 GS and bought a steering wheel for it. Absolutely no clue as to whether or not it is Air Bag Equipped!! From what I found, not all years came with it ( optional or not available ) until later. And to sound my horn, I press on the middle. I think I'm "BAGLESS" but want to know how to definatley be sure that I son't have one. Any clues would be great. As well, I've never seen an airbag light/symbol come on the cluster so I'm pretty sure I don't have it.

92-93 did not have an option. Mazda used the auto-seatbelt system instead. In 94 and up, it was optional, passenger side was optional too.

Great. My narrowed search proved to be true for what I had. I sent a PM to further answer some steering wheel questions. Thanks for answering this for me. :)

In Canada the air bags were an option right up until end of importation in '96. Other that the shape of the steering wheel you shoud see a sensor on the front rad bulkhead.

The Auto belts was a US only equipment. They failed Transport Canada and all European safety standards for retaining the passanger if the event of collision.
