Use the correct size child-restraint system:
For effective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly
restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending on age and size. If not, the
child could be seriously injured or even killed in an accident.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and always keep the child-restraint system buckled
down:
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 child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten it with a seat belt, or latch it
down to BOTH ISOFIX anchors, and attach the corresponding tether anchor.
Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint system:
Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No matter
how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden stop or collision
and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Even in a
moderate accident, the child may be exposed to air bag forces that could result in serious
injury or death to the child, or the child may be slammed into an adult, causing injury to both
child and adult.
Extreme Hazard! Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat
with an air bag that could deploy:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front
of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Vehicles with a front passenger air bag have the following warning label. The warning label
reminds you not to put a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat at any
time.

¾Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.
¾An electric device is put on the front passenger's seat.
¾An additional electrical device, such as a seat warmer is installed to the surface of the front
passenger seat.

¾To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the sensor in
the front seat cushion:
¾Do not place sharp objects on the front seat cushion or leave heavy luggage on them.
¾Do not spill any liquids on the front seats or under the front seats.
¾To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:
¾Adjust the front seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks
with seat belts worn properly.
¾If you place your child on the passenger seat, secure the child-restraint system properly
and slide the passenger seat as far back as possible within the position in which the
child-restraint system can be installed.
NOTE
xThe system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the front passenger
front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.
xThe front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light may turn on repeatedly if
luggage or other items are put on the front passenger seat, or if the temperature of the
vehicle's interior changes suddenly.
xThe front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds
if the electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.
xThe air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the front
passenger seat receives a severe impact.
xIf the front passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light does not turn on after
installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re-install your
child-restraint system according to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the front
passenger air bag deactivation OFF indicator light still does not turn on, install the
child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible.

If the active bonnet has activated, always consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the bonnet release handle is pulled after the active bonnet has activated, the bonnet will
rise even further. If the vehicle is driven with the bonnet raised it will obstruct visibility and
could result in an accident. In addition, do not attempt to push the bonnet back down.
Otherwise, it could deform the bonnet or cause injury because the activated bonnet cannot
be lowered manually. Before driving the vehicle to an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer after the active bonnet has activated, make sure that the raised
bonnet does not obstruct vision and drive the vehicle at a low speed.
