2018 MAZDA MODEL 6 Owner's Manual (in English)

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.

be properly secured. In a collision, the child
could hit something or someone in the
vehicle and be seriously injured or even
killed.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
the use of the child-restraint system:
An unsecured child-restraint system is
dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or death
to the child or other occupants. Make sure
any child-restraint system is properly
secured in place according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure the child-restraint system is
properly secured:
A child-restraint system that is not secured
is dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision,
it can become a projectile and hit someone,
causing serious injury. When not in use,
remove it from the vehicle, put it in the
luggage compartment or at least make
sure it is securely fastened to the ISOFIX
anchors.
Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign
objects near or around the ISOFIX
anchor-secured child-restraint system:
Not following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing the child-restraint system is
dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign object
prevent the child-restraint system from
being securely attached to the ISOFIX
anchors and the child-restraint system is
installed improperly, the child-restraint
system could move in a sudden stop or
collision causing serious injury or death to
the child or other occupants. When
installing the child-restraint system, make
sure there are no seat belts or foreign
objects near or around the ISOFIX anchors.
Always follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.
