ESP MAZDA MODEL CX-30 2022 Owners Manual

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 attach it to BOTH ISOFIX/
LATCH
*1 lower anchors for ISOFIX/
LATCH*1 child-restraint systems and
the corresponding tether anchor.
*1 ISOFIX (Mexico)/LATCH (Except Mexico)
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.
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air
bag that could deploy:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous even though you may feel
assured that a front passenger air bag
will not deploy based on the fact that
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
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.

▼Curtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the
front and rear window pillars, and the
roof edge along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect
a side impact of greater than moderate
force, the curtain air bag inflates
quickly and helps to reduce injury
mainly to the driver and front and rear
outboard passengers' heads caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a
door or window.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (page 2-63).
In a side impact:
Greater than moderate impact to one
side of the vehicle will cause the
curtain air bag on that side only to
inflate.

Only one side curtain air bag will
deploy on the side of the vehicle that
receives the force of an impact.
(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
In a roll-over:
In response to a vehicle roll-over, both
curtain air bags inflate.

Both curtain air bags will deploy after
the roll-over accident is detected.

▼Door Locks
WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person
with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not
find or play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving:
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.
Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors,
fuel-filler
lid, and liftgate and take the key with
you when leaving your vehicle
unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the
liftgate, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is
driven with a door and the liftgate not
securely closed, the door and the
liftgate could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate is dangerou s. A passing vehicle
or a pedestrian could be hit and cause
an accident.
CAUTION
 Always confirm the conditions
around the vehicle before opening/
closing the doors and the liftgate and
use caution during strong winds or
when parked on an incline. Not
being aware of the conditions
around the vehicle is dangerous
because fingers could get caught in
the door and the liftgate or a passing
pedestrian could be hit, resulting in
an unexpected accident or injury.

Powe r Wi n d ow s
▼Po we r Wi n d o w s
The windows can be opened/closed
by operating the power window
switches.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous.
A person's hands, head, or even neck
could be caught by the window and
result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
Never allow children to play with
power window switches:
Power window switches that are not
locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate
power windows unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the window.
Make sure nothing blocks the window
just before it reaches the fully closed
position or while fully holding up the
power window switch:
Blocking the power window just before
it reaches the fully closed position or
while fully holding up the power
window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function may
not prevent the window from closing
all the way. If
fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.
Do not let a child put a hand or head
out of the window while driving the
vehicle:
If the person's hand or head hits
something outside the vehicle, or
sudden braking is applied, it could
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE
When driving with only 1 of the rear
windows open, your ears might
experience a resonating sound.
However, this does not indicate a
problem. The sound can be reduced
by slightly opening a front window or
by changing the size of the rear
window opening.

moonroof is dangerous. The head or
arms could hit something while the
vehicle is moving. This could cause
serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the
tilt/slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow
children to operate the moonroof
unintentionally, which could result in
serious injury if a child's hands, head
or neck becomes caught by the
moonroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof:
A closing moonroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person,
especially a child, could be caught in it
as it closes, causing serious injury or
even death.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle
roll prevention function.
The vehicle roll prevention function
is a supplementary function which
operates for a maximum of 2
seconds after releasing the brake
pedal and accelerating the vehicle
from an engine idling stop condition.
Over reliance on the system may
result in an unexpected accident if
the vehicle were to suddenly
accelerate. Before starting to drive
the vehicle, always confirm the safety
of the surroundings and operate the
selector lever, brake pedal, and
accelerator pedal appropriately.
Note that the vehicle may move
suddenly depending on the vehicle's
load or if it is towing something.
 Note that the vehicle may move
suddenly after the vehicle roll
prevention function is released while
the vehicle is under the following
conditions:
 The selector lever is in the N
position.
 If the selector lever is shifted to the
N position and the brake pedal is
released while the i-stop function
is operating, the brake force is
gradually released. To accelerate
the vehicle, release the brake pedal
after the engine restarts and shift
the selector lever to a position
other than the N position.
NOTE
When the vehicle is stopped on a
steep grade, the vehicle roll
prevention function does not
operate because engine idling is not
stopped.
The brake pedal response may
change, sound may occur from the
brakes, or the brake pedal could
vibrate from the operation of the
vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
