Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
WARNING
Use the correct size child-restraint system:
For effective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly
restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending on age and size. If not,
the child could be seriously injured or even killed in an accident.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and always keep the child-restraint system
buckled down:
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Make sure
any child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or
fasten it with a seat belt, or latch it down to BOTH ISOFIX anchors, and attach the
corresponding tether anchor.
Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint system:
Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No
matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden
stop or collision and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the child may be exposed to air bag forces that
could result in serious injury or death to the child, or the child may be slammed into an
adult, causing injury to both child and adult.
Extreme Hazard! Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger
seat with an air bag that could deploy:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Vehicles with a front passenger air bag have a warning label attached as shown below.
The warning label reminds you not to put a rear-facing child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat at any time.

Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
WARNING
Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used
in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could
be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more
than one person at a time and always operate the vehicle with each occupant properly
restrained.
Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system:
Child-restraint system anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly installed child-restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
Always remove the head restraint and set the tether strap:
Routing the tether strap on top of the head restraint is dangerous. In a collision the
tether strap could slide off the head restraint and loosen the child-restraint system. The
child-restraint system could move which may result in death or injury to the child.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child
touches them.
NOTE
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX anchors for attachment of ISOFIX child-restraint
systems in the rear. When using these anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to
“ISOFIX Anchor-Secured Child-Restraint Systems” (page 2-36 ).

Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
Using ISOFIX Anchor
WARNING
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
for the use of the child-restraint
system:
An unsecured child-restraint system
is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Make sure any child-
restraint system is properly secured in
place according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Make sure the child-restraint system is
properly secured:
A child-restraint system that is not
secured is dangerous. In a sudden stop
or collision, it can become a projectile
and hit someone, causing serious
injury. When not in use, remove it
from the vehicle, put it in the luggage
compartment or at least make sure
it is securely fastened to the ISOFIX
anchors.
WARNING
Make sure there are no seat belts or
foreign objects near or around the
ISOFIX anchor-secured child-restraint
system:
Not following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing the child-restraint system is
dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign
object prevent the child-restraint
system from being securely attached
to the ISOFIX anchors and the child-
restraint system is installed improperly,
the child-restraint system could move
in a sudden stop or collision causing
serious injury or death to the child or
other occupants. When installing the
child-restraint system, make sure there
are no seat belts or foreign objects
near or around the ISOFIX anchors.
Always follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.
1. First, adjust the front seat to allow
clearance between the child-restraint
system and the front seat (page 2-5 ).
2. Make sure the seatback is securely
latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.

3. Expand the area between the seat
bottom and the seatback slightly to
verify the locations of the ISOFIX
anchor.
NOTE
The markings above the ISOFIX
anchors indicate the locations of the
ISOFIX anchors for the attachment of a
child-restraint system.
4. Raise the head restraint to the top
locked position.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-11 .
5. Secure the child-restraint system using
the ISOFIX anchor, following the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instruction.
6. If your child-restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that probably
means it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety. Please
carefully follow the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions
when installing tethers (page 2-34 ).
WARNING
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:
Attaching the tether strap to the
incorrect tether anchor position is
dangerous. In a collision, the tether
strap could come off and loosen the
child-restraint system. If the child-
restraint system moves it could result in
death or injury to the child.
Always remove the head restraint and
set the tether strap:
Routing the tether strap on top of
the head restraint is dangerous. In a
collision the tether strap could slide off
the head restraint and loosen the child-
restraint system. The child-restraint
system could move which may result in
death or injury to the child.
