WARNING
Children and the Folding Rear Seats:
Playing with the folding rear seats is
dangerous. Once the seats are back
up, a child in the trunk would not be
able to get out the way they had
entered. If you have small children,
keep the seatbacks locked (sedan). Do
not give the car keys to children and
do not allow them to play in the
vehicle.
NOTE
When returning a rear seat to its
original position, also replace the seat
belt to its normal position. Verify that
the seat belt pulls and retracts.
qSplit-Folding Rear Seatback
(Sedan)
The seatbacks can be folded down to
provide more space in the trunk.
To fold the seatbacks
WARNING
Operating the Remote Handle LeversWhile a Rear-Facing Child-RestraintSystem is in the Rear Seat:
Operating the remote handle levers
while a rear-facing child-restraint
system is in the rear seat is dangerous.
It could cause injury to a child seated
in the child-restraint system when the
seatback suddenly flips forward.
Always remove the child-restraint
system from the rear seat before
operating the remote handle levers for
the rear seat.
Folding Seatbacks with RemoteHandle Levers:
Not checking the rear seat area for
persons before folding the seatbacks
with the remote handle levers is
dangerous. The rear seat area is
difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating the remote handle
levers without checking could cause
injury to a person when a seatback
suddenly flips forward. Make sure
there is nobody in the rear seat area
before operating the remote handle
levers.

CAUTION
Be careful of the following when using
the remote handle levers:
lOn a downward slope, the seatback
could flip forward faster than on a
flat area.
lOn an upward slope, the seatback
may not fold down. When the
seatbacks cannot be folded down
with levers, pull the rear seatback
forward from inside the vehicle.
1. Unfasten the lap portion of the rear center seat belt (page 2-23).
CAUTION
Always unfasten the lap portion of the
belt before folding the rear-left
seatback. Leaving the lap portion of the
belt fastened could cause damage to the
seat belt, buckle and seatback.
2. After checking that the rear seats are clear, open the trunk and pull the
remote handle levers on the left and
right side of the trunk.
To return the seatbacks to the uprightposition
1. Lift the seatbacks upright.
2. Pull on the top of the seatbacks from inside the vehicle to make sure they are
locked.
3. Fasten the rear-center lap/shoulder belt and check that all seat belts are routed
properly for passenger use (page 2-23).
WARNING
Seat Belts Caught Under Seatbacks:
A seat belt caught under a seatback
after the seatback is returned to its
upright position is dangerous. In a
collision or sudden stop, the seat belt
cannot provide adequate protection.
Always make sure the seat belts are
fully pulled out from under the
seatbacks.

WARNING
Keys and Children:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. They could play with power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move. Don't leave the
keys in your vehicle with children and
keep them in a place where your
children will not find or play with
them.
NOTE
Refer to Immobilizer System (page
3-29) for information regarding keys
and engine starting on vehicles
equipped with the immobilizer system.
Your Mazda has two kinds of keys.

(Black)
Key code number plate
Here's what the keys are used for:
Lock Operates Master key Valet key
Ignition switch and
steering column lock Ye s Ye s
Driver's door Yes Yes Glove box Yes No
Trunk lid Yes No
If you must leave your vehicle with
another person, such as a parking
attendant, protect items by locking the
glove box and trunk lid with the master
key. Keep that key and give the other
person only the valet key.
A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this plate
and store it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle) for use if you need to make a
replacement key.
Also write down the code number and
keep it in another safe and handy place,
but not in the vehicle.
If your key is lost, consult your

WARNING
Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving a child or an animal
unattended in a parked vehicle is

temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death. Always take all
children and animals with you or
leave a responsible person with them.

make the vehicle move. Don't leave the
keys in your vehicle with children and
keep them in a place where your
children will not find or play with

Unlocked Doors:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident. So keep all doors locked
when driving.
NOTE
Always remove the key from the
ignition switch, close all windows, and
lock all doors and the trunk lid/liftgate/
hatch when leaving your vehicle

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is colorless,
odorless, and highly poisonous. If
inhaled, it can cause loss of
consciousness and death. Because
exhaust gas can get into the cabin
through an open trunk, keep the trunk
closed when driving.
