child restraint MAZDA MODEL B2300 2002 (in English) Owner's Guide

WARNING: Do not put the LATCH type seat in the center seat
position Ð it only has one possible anchor point and the seat
will not be properly attached.
WARNING: If there are two LATCH seats to install Ð you can
only mount one LATCH seat in this vehicle with the LATCH
anchor bars. You need to mount the second seat with the center
seat belt using the normal lap belt method.
WARNING: Do not attach two seats to one LATCH anchor bar.
Connectors on the LATCH child seat
and the child seat instructions may
use the symbol shown here. Your
vehicle seat will have plain gray
buttons, instead of this symbol, to indicate the location of the LATCH
lower anchors.
The lower anchors for child seat
installation are located at the rear
section of the front passenger seat
between the cushion and seat back.
The LATCH anchors are below the
gray locator buttons on the seat
back. Two plastic LATCH guides
may be purchased from your local
Mazda dealer (part number
1F60±57±751). They snap onto the
latch lower anchor in the vehicle to
help attach a child seat with rigid
latch attachments. It will hold the
seat foam away and expose the
anchor making attachment of the
child seat easier.
Make sure you attach the proper
child safety seat tether after
securing the LATCH.
Seating and Safety Restraints
146

WARNING: If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child
safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a
collision.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install a
child seat with LATCH attachments.
WARNING: Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat
only to the anchors shown.
If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, do not tighten
the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat cushion
when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without
lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the
vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.
Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly
attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor. Try to tilt the child
seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if
the anchors hold the seat in place.
WARNING: If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk
of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases.
WARNING: If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child
safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a
collision.
