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 seats:
Modifying or replacing the seats such as replacing the upholstery or loosening any
bolts is dangerous. The seats contain air bag components essential to the supplementary
restraint system. Such modi ¿ cations could damage the supplementary restraint system
and result in serious injury. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer if there is any need
to remove or reinstall the seats.
Do not drive with damaged seats:
Driving with damaged seats, such as seat cushions torn or damaged down to the
urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong enough to in À ate the air bags,
could damage the 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 Authorised Mazda Repairer inspect the seats, seat belt pretensioners and air
bags after a collision.

Seats
WARNING
Do not drive with either 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.
Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is dangerous
because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the seat belt cannot
function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a serious accident,
injury or death.
Do not place objects under the seat:
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be ¿ xed securely, and result in an
accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. During
sudden braking or a collision, objects can À y around and become projectiles that may
hit and injure passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo is 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.
Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from children:
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous. Children who
¿ nd their way into the boot through an open boot can become accidentally locked in the
boot. This could result in death or brain damage from heat prostration, particularly in
the summer. Always lock the doors and the boot.
