WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants
on folded down seatback(s) or in the
luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage
compartment is dangerous because seat
belts cannot be fastened which could
lead to serious injury or death during
sudden braking or a collision.

Do not allow children to play inside the
vehicle with the seatback(s) lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle
with the seatback(s) folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage
compartment and the seatback(s) were
raised back up, the child may become
trapped in the luggage compartment
which could lead to an accident.

Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported
with the seatback(s) 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.

When transporting cargo, do not allow
the cargo to exceed the height of the
seatback(s).
Transporting cargo stacked higher
than the seatback(s) is dangerous
as visibility to the rear and sides of
the vehicle is reduced which could
interfere with driving operations and
lead to an accident.
Lowering the seatback(s)
CAUTION
  (Hatchback)  When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with
your hand. If it is not supported by a
hand, ¿ ngers or the hand pressing the
push knob could be injured.
  Check the position of a front seat
before folding a rear seatback.
 Depending on the position of a front
seat, it may not be possible to fold
a rear 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.
Remove the head restraint on the rear
outboard seat if necessary.

4. Make sure that the seat belt is neither
stuck in the rear seat nor twisted, then
remove the seat belt from the belt clip.

Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
rear centre seat. The head restraints are
intended to help protect you and the
passengers from neck injury.
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used and
make sure they are properly adjusted.
In addition, always raise the head
restraints on all rear seat when they are
being used:
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be seriously
injured in a collision.
Height Adjustment
Adjust the head restraint so that the centre
is even with the top of the passenger's ears.



To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the
desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the stop-
catch release, then push the head restraint
down.

Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
WARNING
Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it
is unavoidable:
In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to
the child. If installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat
is unavoidable, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust the
seat bottom (height adjustable seat bottom) to the highest position at which the seat belt
fastening the child-restraint system is securely tightened.
Make sure that the front passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position.
Refer to Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch (page 2-47 ).


Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window of a vehicle with
side and curtain air bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the side window, the area of the
front passenger seat, the front and rear window pillars and the roof edge along both
sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy, even if a child-restraint system
is used. The impact of inÀ ation from a side or curtain air bag could cause serious
injury or death to an out of position child. Furthermore, leaning over or against the
front door could block the side and curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. With the front air bag and the additional side air bag that
comes out of the front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for children. Take
special care not to allow a child to lean over or against the side window, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.

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.

Front-facing type
WARNING
Never install a front-facing child seat
in the wrong seat position:
Installing a front-facing child seat
without ¿ rst consulting the table
“Child-Restraint System Suitability for
Various Seat Positions” is dangerous. A
front-facing child seat installed in the
wrong seat position cannot be properly
secured. In a collision, the child could
hit something or someone in the vehicle
and be seriously injured or even killed.

Do not install a front-facing child-
restraint system on the front passenger
seat unless it is unavoidable:
In a collision, the force of a deploying
air bag could cause serious injury or
death to the child. If installing a front-
facing child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat is unavoidable,
move the front passenger seat as far
back as possible and adjust the seat
bottom (height adjustable seat bottom)
to the highest position at which the seat
belt fastening the child-restraint system
is securely tightened.
Make sure that the front passenger air
bag deactivation switch is in the OFF
position. Refer to Front Passenger Air
Bag Deactivation Switch (page 2-47 ).

Installing a junior seat without ¿ rst
consulting the table “Child-Restraint
System Suitability for Various Seat
Positions” is dangerous. A junior seat
installed on the wrong seat position
cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something
or someone in the vehicle and be
seriously injured or even killed.

Do not install a front-facing child-
restraint system on the front passenger

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle:
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo bar,
bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is dangerous. The
air bag crash sensor system could be affected. This could cause air bags to inÀ ate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from inÀ ating during an accident. Front
occupants could be seriously injured.

Do not modify the suspension:
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle's height or the suspension
is modi¿ ed, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.

Do not modify a front door or leave any damage unrepaired. Always have an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer inspect a damaged front door:
Modifying a front door or leaving any damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each front
door has a side crash sensor as a component of the supplementary restraint system.
If holes are drilled in a front door, a door speaker is left removed, or a damaged door
is left unrepaired, the sensor could be adversely affected causing it to not detect the
pressure of an impact correctly during a side collision. If a sensor does not detect a side
impact correctly, the side and curtain air bags and the front seat belt pretensioner may
not operate normally which could result in serious injury to occupants.

Do not modify the supplementary restraint system:
Modifying the components or wiring of the supplementary restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not make any
modi¿ cations to the supplementary restraint system. This includes installing trim,
badges, or anything else over the air bag modules. It also includes installing extra
electrical equipment on or near system components or wiring. An expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer can provide the special care needed in the
removal and installation of front seats. It is important to protect the air bag wiring
and connections to assure that the bags do not accidentally deploy, and that the driver
seat slide position sensor is not damaged and the seats retain an undamaged air bag
connection.

Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The components
essential to the supplementary restraint system could be damaged, and in the event of
a side collision, the appropriate air bags may not deploy, which could result in death
or serious injury. To prevent damage to the components essential to the supplementary
restraint system, do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats.
