Seats
The seat-bottom tilt, seat height, seat
slide, and seat recline can be electrically
adjusted. Move them to the desired
positions by using the switch on the seat’s
lower side.

Seat Slide
To slide the seat, move the slide lifter
switch on the outside of the seat to the
front or back and hold it. Release the
switch at the desired position.

Seat Recline
Change the seatback angle by turning the
reclining switch. When the seatback is at
the desired angle, release the switch.
Front Seats
•The seat-bottom power adjust is
operated by a motor. Avoid
extended operation because
excessive use can damage the
motor.
•To prevent the battery from running
down, avoid using the power adjust
when the engine is stopped. The
adjuster uses a great amount of
electric power.
•Don’t use the switch to make more
than one adjustment at a time.
CAUTION
Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you don’t get the full
protection from seat belts. During
sudden braking or a collision, you
can slide under the lap belt and suffer
serious internal injuries. For
maximum protection, sit well back
and upright.

SRS Air Bags
Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F
Suspension Adjustment:
Adjusting the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle's height or the
suspension is changed, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision
resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious
injuries.
Modification of the Supplemental Restraint System:
Modifying the components or wiring of the supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Don't make any
modifications to the supplemental restraint system. This includes installing trim,
badges, or anything else over the air bag storage areas. It also includes installing
extra electric equipment on or near system components or wiring. An Authorized
Mazda Dealer can provide the special care needed in the removal and installation of
front seats. It is important to protect the side air bag wiring and connections to assure
that the bags do not accidentally deploy and that the seats retain an undamaged air
bag connection.
Using Seat Covers:
Using a seat cover on the front seats is dangerous. In a severe side collision, the seat
covers could interfere with the side air bag inflation and serious injuries could result.
Never use seat covers on the front seats.
To prevent damage to the side air bag wiring, don’t place luggage or other objects under
the front seats.
NOTE
•When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation 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.
