▼Pregnant Women and Persons with
Serious Medical Conditions
Pregnant women should always wear
seat belts. Ask your doctor for
specific
recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY
AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE
HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn
across your shoulder properly, but
never across the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical
conditions also should wear seat belts.
Check with your doctor for any special
instructions regarding specific medical
conditions.
▼ Emergency Locking Mode
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking
mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the
belt remains comfortable on the
occupant and the retractor will lock in
position during a collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be
pulled out, retract the belt once, and
then try pulling it out slowly. If this
fails, pull the belt strongly 1 time and
loosen, then pull it out again slowly.
(Seat Belt with Automatic Locking
Mode)
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking
mode until it is switched to automatic
locking mode by pulling it all the way
out to its full length. If the belt feels
tight and hinders comfortable
movement while the vehicle is stopped
or in motion, it may be in the
automatic locking mode because the
belt has been pulled too far out. To
return the belt to the more
comfortable emergency locking mode,
wait until the vehicle has stopped in a
safe, level area, retract the belt fully to
convert it back to emergency locking
mode and then extend it around you
again.
▼ Automatic Locking Mode (Except
Mexico)
Always use the automatic locking
mode to keep the child-restraint
system from shifting to an unsafe
position in the event of an accident. To
enable seat belt automatic locking
mode, pull it all the way out and
connect it as instructed on the
child-restraint system. It will retract
down to the child-restraint system and
stay locked on it. See the section on
child restraint (page 2-42).

Seat Belt Extender
▼Seat Belt Extender
If your seat belt is not long enough,
even when fully extended, a seat belt
extender may be available to you at no
charge from your Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
This extender will be only for you and
for the particular vehicle and seat. Even
if it plugs into other seat belts, it may
not hold in the critical moment of a
crash.
When ordering an extender, only order
one that provides the necessary
additional length to fasten the seat belt
properly. Please contact your
Authorized Mazda Dealer for more
information.
WARNING
Do not use a seat belt extender unless
it is necessary:
Using a seat belt extender when not
necessary is dangerous. The seat belt
will be too long and not fit properly. In
an accident, the seat belt will not
provide adequate protection and you
could be seriously injured. Only use
the extender when it is required to
fasten the seat belt properly.
Do not use an improper extender:
Using a seat belt extender that is for
another person or a different vehicle or
seat is dangerous. The seat belt will not
provide adequate protection and the
user could be seriously injured in an
accident. Only use the extender
provided for you and for the particular
vehicle and seat. NEVER use the
extender in a different vehicle or seat.
If you sell your Mazda, do not leave
your seat belt extender in the vehicle.
It could be used accidentally by the
new owner of the vehicle. After
removing the seat belt extender,
discard it. Never use the seat belt
extender in any other vehicle you may
own in the future.
Do not use an extender that is too
long:
Using an extender that is too long is
dangerous. The seat belt will not
fit
properly. In an accident, the seat belt
will not provide adequate protection
and you could be seriously injured. Do
not use the extender or choose one
shorter in length if the distance
between the extender's buckle and the
center of the user's body is less than
15 cm (6 in).

6. If your child-restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
refer to the manufacturer's
instructions to hook and tighten the
tether strap.
WARNING
Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system:
Using the tether or tether anchor to
secure anything but a child-restraint
system is dangerous. This could
weaken or damage the tether or tether
anchor and result in injury.

Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system (except
when installing a backless booster
seat):
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.
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 2-15.

▼Trailer Towing Tips
Verify that your Mazda maintains a near-normal attitude when a loaded or
unloaded trailer is connected. Do not drive if it has an abnormal front-up or
front-down position. Inspect for incorrec
t tongue load, worn suspension parts,
and trailer overloading.
Make sure the trailer is properly loaded and the cargo is secure to prevent it from
shifting.
Make sure the mirrors conform to all govern ment regulations. If they do not, install
required rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.
The three main causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed,
and improper trailer loading.
Before driving
Have your cooling and braking system checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.Before starting out, inspect the operation of all vehicle and trailer lights and all
vehicle-to-trailer connections. Stop and re-inspect all lights and connections after
driving a short distance.
Driving
Your Mazda will handle differently with a trailer in tow, so practice turning,
backing, and stopping in a traffic-free area.
Take time to get accustomed to the extra weight and length.Allow more room between your vehicle and the one in front because braking
distance increases with a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at
least one vehicle and trailer length between your Mazda and the vehicle ahead.
Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.Avoid sudden braking. It may cause loss of control and result in jackknifing ,
especially so on wet or slippery roads.
Shift the selector lever to the D position when towing a trailer in hilly terrain or
when heavily loaded.
The D position will allow operating the vehicle without frequent shifting.
Lane changes and turning
Avoid quick lane changes, su dden turns, and tight turns. Slow down before turning
to avoid the need of sudden braking.
A turning trailer will make a tighter arc than the tow vehicle. Compensate with turns
that are larger than normal.
Pa s s i n g
Plan well ahead to pass other vehicles, and provide plenty of room before changing
lanes. Crosswinds from passing vehicles, especially larger ones, and the effects of
rough roads will affect handling.
If swaying occurs, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately, but
gradually.

NOTE
When you resume driving by pressing
the RES switch, your vehicle does not
start moving until the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead lengthens to the specified
distance or farther.
If the TJA is temporarily canceled,
depress the accelerator pedal and
start driving the vehicle. If the TJA is
temporarily canceled, you cannot
resume driving by pressing the RES
switch when there are no vehicles in
front of your vehicle.
If the vehicle ahead starts moving
within 3 seconds after your vehicle is
stopped by the stop hold control,
headway control will continue even if
you do not resume driving your
vehicle, such as by depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Vehicle departure information
If you do not resume driving within a
few seconds after the vehicle ahead
starts moving during stop hold control,
the multi-information display
vehicle-ahead indication flashes to
urge the driver to resume driving. If you
do not resume driving after the
indicator light flashes, a sound is
activated to urge you to resume
driving.
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides stee
ring assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle
lane if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
detects the white lines (yellow lines) of
the vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
traveling and if the system determines
that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, it operates the electric power
steering to assist the driver’s steering
operation. The system also alerts the
driver by displaying an alert on the
multi-information display and the
active driving display. Use the system
when you drive the vehicle on roads
with white (yellow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the LAS:
The LAS is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the system is not
designed to compensate for a
driver’s lack of caution, and
over-reliance on the system could
lead to an accident.
