CAUTION
  When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or ¿ ngers near the moving
parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
  When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the
cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
  (Manual Seat)  When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback
to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while
operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause
injury.
NOTE
  When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal
position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
 
 (Power Seat)  The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation
because excessive use can damage the motors.
 


 To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when
the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
 


 Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

 
 When getting in and out of the vehicle, your foot could accidentally contact the seat
height adjustment lever and cause the seat to lower.
 Adjust the seat to obtain the correct driving position.

Driving Position Memory *
The desired driving position can be called
up after programming the position.
The following driving positions can be
programmed.
 


 Driver’s seat position (seat slide, height
adjustment, front edge of seat bottom,
seat recline)
  Refer to Seat Operation on page 2-5 .



 Active driving display (display position,
brightness level, display information)
  Refer to Active Driving Display on page
4-33 .

CAUTION
Do not place ¿ ngers or hands around
the bottom of the seat while the seat
memory function is operating. The
seat moves automatically while the
seat memory function is operating and
¿ ngers or hands could get pinched and
injured.

SET button

The driving position can be programmed
or operated using the buttons on the side
of the seat or the key.
NOTE
  Lumbar support adjustment cannot
be programmed.
  Individual seat positions can be
programmed to the two available
programming buttons on the side
of the driver's seat, plus one seat
position for each registered key.
  If the vehicle has been serviced and
the battery leads disconnected, the
programmed seat positions will have
been erased. Re-programme the seat
positions.
Programming
1. Make sure the parking brake is on.
2. (Automatic transaxle)

position.
3. Start the engine.
4. Adjust the seat and the active driving
display to the desired driving position.
5. Press the SET button on the seat until a
beep sound is heard one time.

CAUTION
Do not use organic solvents to clean the
seat. It may damage the seat surface and
the heater.
NOTE
  If 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.
  Use 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.
  The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is
controlled by a thermostat.
Rear Seat
Split Folding the Seatbacks
By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage
compartment space can be expanded.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants
on folded down seatbacks 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 seatbacks lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle
with the seatbacks folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage
compartment and the seatbacks 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 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.

Essential Safety Equipment
Seat Belt Systems
WARNING
Positioning the Shoulder Portion of the Seat Belt:
Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous. Always make
sure the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positioned across your shoulder and near
your neck, but never under your arm, on your neck, or on your upper arm.

Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt:
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision, this would
concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area, causing serious injury.
Wear the lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as possible.

Instructions for Use of Seat Belt Assemblies:
Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn
low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;
wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seatbelts should be adjusted as ¿ rmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated
or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.
No modi¿ cations or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent
the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

WARNING
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not ¿ nd or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may ¿ nd these keys
to be an interesting toy to play with
and could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even make
the vehicle move.
CAUTION
  Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may
not function correctly under the
following conditions:
 


 The key is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
 


 The key contacts or is covered by a
metal object.
 


 The key is near electronic devices
such as personal computers.
 


 Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
vehicle.
 


 There is equipment which
discharges radio waves near the
vehicle.
 
 The key (transmitter) may consume
battery power excessively if it
receives high-intensity radio waves.
Do not place the key near electronic
devices such as televisions or
personal computers.
  To avoid damage to the key
(transmitter), DO NOT:
 


 Drop the key.



 Get the key wet.



 Disassemble the key.



 Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
 


 Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic ¿ eld.




 Place heavy objects on the key.



 Put the key in an ultrasonic
cleaner.
 


 Put any magnetized objects close
to the key.

Changes or modi¿ cations not expressly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
  The keyless entry system operation
may vary due to local conditions.
  The keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/liftgate lock/
unlock) when the ignition is switched
off. The system does not operate
if the ignition is switched to any
position other than off.
  If the key does not operate when
pressing a button or the operational
range becomes too small, the
battery may be weak. To install a
new battery, refer to Key Battery
Replacement (page 6-37 ).

 Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one
if the KEY indicator light (green)
À ashes in the instrument cluster.
Replacing the battery about once
a year is recommended because
the KEY warning light/indicator
light may not illuminate or À ash
depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
  Additional keys can be obtained at
an Authorised Mazda Repairer. Up to
6 keys can be used with the keyless
functions per vehicle. Bring all keys
to an Authorised Mazda Repairer
when additional keys are required.
