Child Restraint
WARNING
Always install the head restraint and
adjust it to the appropriate position
after removing the child-restraint
system:
Driving with the head restraint
removed is dangerous as impact to the
occupant's head cannot be prevented
during emergency braking or in a
collision, which could result in a
serious accident, injury or death.
Refer to Head Restraints on page
2-13 .
Using the Seat Belt
When installing a child-restraint system,
follow the installation instructions
included with the product.
In addition, remove the head restraint.
However, when installing a booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint to
the seat where the booster seat is installed.
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.

Child Restraint
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 seams on the rear of the
seat bottom slightly to verify the
locations of the ISOFIX anchor.

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 2-37 ).

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
install child-restraint system:
Installing a child-restraint system
without removing the head restraint is
dangerous. The child-restraint system
cannot be installed correctly which may
result in death or injury to the child in
a collision.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
*Some models.
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplementary restraint systems (SRS) include different types of air bags.
Please verify the different types of air bags which are equipped on your vehicle by
locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area
where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:
 


 The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)



 The front passenger instrument panel (front passenger air bag)



 The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) * 



 The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags) *

The air bag supplementary restraint systems are designed to provide supplementary
protection in certain situations so seat belts are always important in the following ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:
 


 Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inÀ ating air bag.



 Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag
inÀ ation, such as roll-over or rear impact.




 Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions that are not
severe enough to activate the air bags.
 


 Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.



 Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.
 


 Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.

A child who is too small to use a seat belt must be properly secured using a child-restraint
system (page 2-22 ).

Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your child and follow
the installation directions in this Owner's Manual as well as the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles:
Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous. Alone,
air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be expected to
inÀ ate only in the ¿ rst accident, such as frontal, near frontal or side collisions that are
at least moderate. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.

Children should not ride in the front passenger seat:
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child could be hit
by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is more
likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side air bag in moderate collision to the
front-passenger side of the vehicle. Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years
and under on the rear seats with an appropriate child-restraint system for the child's
age and size.

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.
Even in a moderate collision, the child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air
bag and moved violently backward resulting in serious injury or death to the child. If
your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air bag deactivation switch, always set
the switch to the OFF position when installing a rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat.


Do not sit too close to the driver and front passenger air bags:
Sitting too close to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or placing hands or
feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and front passenger air bags inÀ ate
with great force and speed. Serious injuries could occur if someone is too close. The
driver should always hold onto only the rim of the steering wheel. The front seat
passenger should keep both feet on the À oor. Front seat occupants should adjust their
seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts
worn properly.

SRS Air Bags
NOTE
  When an air bag deploys, a loud inÀ ation noise can be heard and some smoke will
be released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags may
cause light skin injuries on body parts not covered with clothing through friction.
  Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag systems
and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the Owner's Manual, is
important.
  This highly-visible label warns against the use of a rear-facing child-restraint system
on the front passenger seat.

Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch *
WARNING
Do not deactivate the front passenger air bag unnecessarily:
Unnecessary deactivation of the front passenger air bag is dangerous. If turned off
unnecessarily, the front passenger will not receive the added protection of the air bag.
Serious injuries or even death could occur. With the exception of installing a child-
restraint system on the front passenger seat, do not turn the air bag deactivation switch
to the OFF position.



The front passenger air bag deactivation switch should be used to deactivate the front
passenger front and side air bags and also the front passenger seat belt pretensioner system
if installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat.

When the ignition is switched ON, both front passenger air bag deactivation indicator
lights illuminate regardless of the front passenger air bag deactivation switch position. The
indicator light turns off after a speci¿ ed period of time, then turns on/off depending on the
conditions as indicated in the following table.
