NOTElIf the ignition is switched off while the seat
warmer is operating (High, Mid or Low)
and then switched ON again, the seat
warmer will automatically operate at the
temperature set before switching off the
ignition.
lUse the seat warmer when the engine is
running. Leaving the seat warmer on for
long periods with the engine not running
could cause the battery power to be
depleted.
lThe temperature of the seat warmer cannot
be adjusted beyond High, Mid and Low
because the seat warmer is controlled by a
thermostat.
Rear Seat
qSplit Folding
The seatbacks can be folded down to
provide more space in the luggage
compartment.
WARNING
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported
with the seatbacks folded down:
Driving without tightly securing
cargo and luggage is dangerous as it
could move and become an
obstruction to driving during
emergency braking or a collision
resulting in an unexpected accident.
Always remove the child-restraint
system from the rear seat before
operating the remote handle levers for
the rear seat:
Operating the remote handle levers
while a rear-facing child-restraint
system is in the rear seat is
dangerous. It could cause injury to a
child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly
flips forward.

Make sure there is nobody in the rear
seat area before operating (pulling) the
remote handle levers (Vehicles with
remote handle):
Not checking the rear seat area for
persons before folding the seatbacks
with the strap/remote handle levers
is dangerous. The rear seat area is
difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the
remote handle levers without
checking could cause injury to a
person when a seatback suddenly
flips forward.CAUTION
ØWhen operating the rear seatback
knob, make sure you support the
seatback with your hand. If the
seatback is not supported with
your hand, it will flip forward
suddenly and could cause injury to
the finger that pushes the rear
seatback knob down.
Ø(Vehicles with remote handle)
Before folding the seatbacks down
with the remote handle levers,
make sure there is no cup in a rear
cup holder. Folding the seatbacks
with the remote handle levers
while a cup is in the cup holder
could soil or damage the seat
bottom and seatback.
Ø(Vehicles with remote handle)
Be careful of the following when
using the remote handle levers:
ØOn a downward slope, the
seatback could flip forward
faster than on a flat surface.
ØOn an upward slope, the
seatback may not fold down.
When the seatbacks cannot be
folded down with levers, pull
the rear seatback forward from
inside the vehicle.

front seat, it may not be possible
to fold a seatback all the way
down because it may hit the
seatback of the front seat which
could scratch or damage the front
seat or its pocket.
Ø(Folding the left seatback)

Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt
used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers
could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for
more than one person at a time and always operate the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.
Always remove the child-restraint system from the rear seat before operating the
remote handle levers for the rear seat:
Operating the remote handle levers while a rear-facing child-restraint system is in
the rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury to a child seated in the child-
restraint system when the seatback suddenly flips forward.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your
child touches them.
NOTE
Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of specially designed LATCH
child-restraint systems in the rear seats. When using these anchors to secure a child-restraint system,
refer to“Using LATCH Lower Anchor”(page 2-36).

Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel-filler cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop. Then remove it:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness
if ingested. Fuel spray is released
when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel-filler cap is
removed too quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away
from the filler neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-
filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap
may result in fuel leak, which could
result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
CAUTION
(U.S.A. and Canada)
Always use only a genuine Mazda
fuel-filler cap or an approved
equivalent, available at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer. The wrong
cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel and emission
control systems. It may also cause
the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.
