Seat Precaution
WARNING
Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous. In a
sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing injury. Make sure
the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the
seat forward and backward and rocking the seatback.
Never allow children to adjust a seat:
Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious injury if a
child's hands or feet become caught in the seat.
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 adjusting the seatback at any time, even when there
are no other passengers, rock the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.
Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stopped:
Adjusting the driver's seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The driver could
lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
Do not modify or replace the front seats:
Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or loosening
any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag components essential to the
supplemental restraint system. Such modifications could damage the supplemental
restraint system and result in serious injury. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if
there is any need to remove or reinstall the front seats.
Do not drive with damaged front seats:
Driving with damaged front seats is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong
enough to inflate the air bags, could damage the front seats which contain essential
air bag components. If there was a subsequent collision, an air bag may not deploy
which could lead to injuries. Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect the
front seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air bags after a collision.
Do not drive with either front seats reclined:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you do
not 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.

and locked in the upright position is
dangerous. Sudden stops or
maneuvering could cause a seatback
to flip forward suddenly resulting in

the seatback is not locked in the
upright position.
