Essential Safety Equipment
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.

Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
WARNING
Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window of a vehicle with
side air bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the side window, the area of the
passenger seat from which the side air bags deploy, even if a child-restraint system is
used. The impact of inÀ ation from a side air bag could cause serious injury or death
to an out of position child. Furthermore, leaning over or against the door could block
the side air bags and eliminate the advantages of supplementary protection. Because
the side air bag deploys from the outboard shoulder of the seat, do not allow the 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.
Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system:
Child-restraint system anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly installed child-restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child
touches them.
NOTE
(European models)
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX anchors for attachment of ISOFIX child-restraint
systems. When using these anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to “Using
ISOFIX Anchor” (page 2-30 ).

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Do not sit too close to the driver and passenger air bags:
Sitting too close to the driver and passenger air bag modules or placing hands or feet
on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and passenger air bags inÀ ate with great
force and speed. Serious injuries could occur if someone is too close. The driver should
always hold onto only the rim of the steering wheel. The passenger should keep both
feet on the À oor. Seat occupants should adjust their seats as far back as possible and
always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.
Do not sit too close to a door or lean against doors in vehicles with side air bags:
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them is extremely
dangerous. A side air bag inÀ ates with great force and speed directly out of the outboard
shoulder of the seat and expands along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a window in
the seats. Furthermore, sleeping up against the door or hanging out the driver-side
window while driving could block the side air bag and eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. Give the side air bags room to work by sitting in the centre of
the seat while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
Sit in the centre of the seat and wear seat belts properly:
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or sleeping up
against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dangerous. The side air bags
inÀ ate with great force and speed directly expanding along the door on the side the car
is hit. Serious injury could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door. Give the
side air bags room to work by sitting in the centre of the seat while the vehicle is moving
with seat belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and passenger air bags
deploy:
Attaching an object to the driver and passenger air bag modules or placing something
in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object could interfere with air bag
inÀ ation and injure the occupants.

Before Driving
Keys
CAUTION
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/boot lid/fuel-¿ ller
À ap 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 6-31 ).
  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 (for
vehicles with a type A instrument
cluster (page 4-42 ), messages are
displayed 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.
