Seat Precautions
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 modifi cations 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, such as seat cushions torn or damaged down to the
urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong enough to infl ate 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.

indicate that the seat warmer is operating.
The mode changes as follows each time
the seat warmer switch is pressed.

WARNING
Be careful when using the seat warmer: The heat from the seat warmer may be
too hot for some people, as indicated
as follows, and could cause a low-
temperature burn.
 Infants, small children, elderly people, and physically challenged
people
 People with delicate skin People who are excessively fatigued People who are intoxicated People who have taken sleep-inducing medicine such as sleeping
pills or cold medicine

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.

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.

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.

Rear Seat
Split Folding
By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage

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.

CAUTION
If the seatback is not supported by your
hand, it will move suddenly and could
cause injury.

Folding both seatbacks down
CAUTION
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.
Lower or remove the head restraint on
the rear outboard seat if necessary.

NOTE
When you fold down the left seatback, the
center seatback folds down at the same
time.
