qSeat Slide
To move the seat forward or backward,
raise the bar and slide the seat to the
desired position and release the bar.
Make sure the bar returns to its original
position and the seat is locked in place by
attempting to push it forward and
backward.
qSeat Recline
WARNING
Do not drive with the seats reclined:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you do not get the full
protection from the 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.
Do not recline a second-row seatback
when the third row seat is occupied: Reclining the second-row seatback
when the third-row seat is occupied
is dangerous.Because the clearance
in the third-row seat is limited,
occupants in the third-row seat could
be hurt seriously on a reclined
second-row seatback.
To change the seatback angle, lean
forward slightly while pulling the lever.
Then lean back to the desired position and
release the lever.
Make sure the lever returns to its original
position and the seatback is locked in
place by attempting to push it forward and
backward.

CAUTION
When returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position,
make sure you hold onto the
seatback with your other hand while
operating the lever. If the seatback is
not supported, it will flip forward
suddenly and could cause injury.
qArmrest
The armrest can be used (no occupant in
the center seat) or placed upright.
WARNING
Never put your hands and fingers
around the moving parts of the seat
and armrest:
Putting your hands and fingers
around the moving parts of the seat
and armrest is dangerous as they
could get injured.
qThird-Row Seat Access
After folding the second-row seat
seatback and sliding the seat forward, you
can access the third-row seat easily.
Entering/exiting the third-row seat area
Raise the lever on the side of the second-
row seat to fold the seatback forward and
slide the seat forward.
After entering/exiting the third-row
seat area
1. Return the second-row seatback to its
upright position and lock it after sliding
it backward. Make sure it is locked by
attempting to lightly move it forward
and backward.
2. Make sure that the center-rear seat belt is routed properly (not under the head
restraint) and the seat belt guide is
snapped to the head restraint.

Returning seatbacks to their original
positions
1. Lift the seatback to its originalposition.
Make sure the seatback is secured by
attempting to lightly move it forward
and back.
2. If the head restraints were removed, re- install them.
3. Route the center-rear seat belt through the seat belt guide and fasten it. Check
that all seat belts are routed properly
for passenger use (page 2-28).Third-Row Seat
WARNING
Do not stack cargo higher than the
seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo
higher than the seatbacks is
dangerous. During a sudden stop or
collision, objects can fly around and
become projectiles that could hit and
injure passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving: Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
Make sure the adjustable components
of a seat are locked in place by
attempting to rock the seatback: Adjustable seats that are not securely
latched are dangerous. In a sudden
stop or collision, the seat or seatback
could move, causing injury.
Do not drive with the seatback
unlocked: All of the seatbacks play an
important role in your protection in a
vehicle. Leaving the seatback
unlocked is dangerous as it can allow
passengers to be ejected or thrown
around and baggage to strike
occupants in a sudden stop or
collision, resulting in severe injury.
After returning the seatback at any
time, even when there are no other
passengers, rock the seatback to
make sure it is locked in place.

WARNING
ØBe careful when using the seat
warmer. The heat from the seat
warmer may be too hot for some
people, as indicated below, and
could cause a low-temperature
burn.
ØInfants, small babies, elderly
people, and physically
challenged people
ØPeople with delicate skin
ØPeople who are excessively
fatigued
ØPeople who are intoxicated
ØPeople who have taken sleep-
inducing medicine such as
sleeping pills or cold medicine
Ø Do not use the seat warmer with
anything having high moisture-
retention ability such as a blanket
or cushion on the seat. The seat
may be heated excessively and
cause a low-temperature burn.
Ø Do not use the seat warmer even
when taking a short nap in the
vehicle. The seat may be heated
excessively and cause a low-
temperature burn.
Ø Do not place heavy objects with
sharp projections on the seat, or
insert needles or pins into it. This
could cause the seat to become
excessively heated and result in
injury from a minor burn.
CAUTION
Do not use organic solvents to clean
the seat. It may damage the seat
surface and the heater. NOTE
lIf the ignition is switched off while the seat
warmer is operating (High 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, and do not continue to use it for a
long period of time.
lThe temperature of the seat warmer cannot
be adjusted beyond High and Low because
the seat warmer is controlled by a
thermostat.

WARNING
Always wear your seat belt and make sure all occupants are properly restrained:Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous. During a collision, occupants not
wearing seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle or even be thrown
out of the vehicle. They could be seriously injured or even killed. In the same
collision, occupants wearing seat belts would be much safer.
Do not wear twisted seat belts: Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is not
available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt,
which could cause serious injury or death. So, if your seat belt is twisted, you must
straighten the seat belt to remove any twists and to allow the full width of the belt to
be used.
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.
Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt: Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the belt
webbing of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide adequate
protection in a collision. Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect all seat belt
systems in use during an accident before they are used again.
Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load limiter has
been expended: Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer immediately inspect the front seat belt
pretensioners and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the front seat belt
pretensioners and load limiters will only function once and must be replaced after
any collision that caused them to deploy. A seat belt with an expended pretensioner
or load limiter is still better than wearing no seat belt at all; however, if the front
seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are not replaced, the risk of injury in a
collision will increase.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
