Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
Form No. 8Q50-EA-01G





If You Must Use the Front Seat
for Children
If you cannot put all children in the rear
seat, at least put the smallest in the rear
seat and be sure the largest child up front
uses the shoulder belt over the shoulder.
Do not put rear-facing child-restraint
systems on the front passenger ’s seat.
This seat is also not set up for tethered
child-restraint systems, put them in one of
the three rear seat positions set up with
tether anchors.
Don ’t allow anyone to sleep against the
right front door if you have an optional
side air bag, it could cause serious injuries
to an out of position occupant. As
children more often sleep in cars, it is
better to put them in the rear seat. If
installing the child-restraint system on the
front seat is unavoidable, follow these
instructions when using a front-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger ’s seat.
NOTE
To check if your Mazda front seats
have side air bags:
Every Mazda side air bag will have a
"SRS-Air Bag" label on the outboard
shoulder of the front seats.
Front Passenger ’s Seat Position:As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so because your vehicle has
side air bags, a front-facing child-
restraint system should be put on the
front seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back as
possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious
injury or death to the child.
Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems
on the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
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.
NEVER use a rear-facing child-
restraint system in the front seat with
an air bag that could deploy.

Fully insert the dipstick. When adding
fluid, inspect with the dipstick to make
sure it doesn’t pass full.





Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Inspect both sides of the dipstick for
accurate reading.
Wa s h e r F l u i d
Substitute Washer Fluid:Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the
windshield, affect your visibility, and
could result in an accident. Use only
windshield washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir.

Form No. 8Q50-EA-01G
Government regulations in the United States and Canada require that automobiles meet
specific emission regulations and safety standards. Therefore, vehicles built for use in the
United States, its territories, and Canada may differ from those sold in other countries.
The differences may make it difficult or even impossible for your vehicle to receive
satisfactory servicing in other countries. We strongly recommend that you NOT take your
Mazda outside these areas.
You may have these problems if you do:
•Recommended fuel may be unavailable. Any kind of leaded fuel or low-octane fuel will
affect vehicle performance and damage the emission controls and engine.
• Proper repair facilities, tools, testing equipment, and replacement parts may not be
available.
The Mazda warranty applies only to Mazda vehicles registered and normally operated in
the United States, its territories, and Canada.

Cell Phones
Use of Cell Phones and Other Devices by Driver:Although not Mazda products, use of any electrical devices such as cell phones,
computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also
ties-up the driver's hands. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be distracted
and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off
the right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is necessary despite
this warning, use a hands-free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the
vehicle. Never use a cell phone or other electrical device while the vehicle is moving
and, instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
