Rear Seat
▼ Split Folding the Seatbacks
By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage
compartment space can be expanded.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on
folded down seatbacks or in the luggage
compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage
compartment is dangerous because seat
belts cannot be fastened which could lead
to serious injury or death during sudden
braking or a collision.
Do not allow children to play inside the
vehicle with the seatbacks lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle
with the seatbacks folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage
compartment and the seatbacks were
raised back up, the child may become
trapped in the luggage compartment
which could lead to an accident.
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.

When transporting cargo, do not allow the
cargo to exceed the height of the
seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than
the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility to
the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced
which could interfere with driving
operations and lead to an accident.
Lowering the seatbacks
CAUTION
When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with your
hand. If it is not supported by a hand,
fingers or the hand pressing the push
knob could be injured.
 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. Remove the head
restraint on the rear outboard seat if
necessary.
 Before folding a rear seatback, make sure
that the armrest is stored. If a seatback is
lowered without storing the armrest, it
could deform, damage, or scratch the
armrest.
1. Lower the head restraint all the way down.
Refer to Head Rest raints on page 2-
12.
2. Press the push knob to fold down the seatback.

To return the seatback to its upright
position:
WA R N I N G
When returning a seatback to its upright
position, make sure the 3-point seat belt is
not caught in the seatback and the 3-point
seat belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt is used while it is twisted and
caught in the seatback, the seat belt
cannot function at its full capacity, which
could cause serious injury or death.

When returning a seatback to its upright
position, make sure that it is firmly locked
and the red indication is not visible.
If the red indication is visible behind the
push knob, it means the seatback is not
locked. If the vehicle is driven without the
seatback locked, it could fold down
suddenly and cause an accident.

1. Make sure that the seat belt passes
through the seat belt guide correctly
and it is not twisted, then raise the
seatback while preventing the seat belt
from being caught in the seatback.

2. Press the seatback rearward and lock it
in place. After returning the seatback
to its upright posi tion, make sure it is
securely locked.
▼ Armrest*
The rear armrest in the center of the rear
seatback can be used (no occupant in the
center seat) or placed upright.

WA R N I N G
Never position the shoulder portion of a
seat belt over the armrest:
Positioning the shoulder portion of a rear
seat belt over the armrest is dangerous as it
cannot provide adequate protection in a
collision and could result in serious injuries.
Never put your hands and fingers around
the moving parts of the seat and armrest:
Putting your hands and fingers around the
moving parts of the seat and armrest is
dangerous as they could get injured.
CAUTION

Be careful not to apply excessive force to
the armrest such as by sitting on it.
Otherwise, it could be deformed or
damaged.

When storing the armrest, return the cup
holder to its original position. If the
armrest is stored without returning the
cup holder to its original position, the
cup holder could be deformed or
damaged.Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the rear
center seat. The head restraints are
intended to help protect you and the
passengers from neck injury.
WA R N I N G
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used and
make sure they are properly adjusted. In
addition, always raise the head restraints
on all rear seats when they are being used:
Driving with the head restraints adjusted
too low or removed is dangerous. With no
support behind your head, your neck could
be seriously injured in a collision.
▼ Height Adjustment
Adjust the head restraint so that the center
is even with the top of the passenger's
ears.

To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the
desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the
stop-catch release, then push the head
restraint down.

▼Removal/Installation
To remove the head restraint, pull it up
while pressing the stop-catch.
To install the head restraint, insert the legs
into the holes while pressing the
stop-catch.
WA R N I N G
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used and
make sure they are properly installed:
Driving with the head restraints not
installed is dangerous. With no support
behind your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
After installing a head restraint, try lifting it
to make sure that it does not pull out:
Driving with an unsecured head restraint is
dangerous as the effectiveness of the head
restraint will be compromised which could
cause it to unexpectedly detach from the
seat.

CAUTION
When installing a head restraint, make
sure that it is installed correctly with the
front of the head restraint facing
forward. If the head restraint is installed
incorrectly, it could detach from the seat
during a collision and result in injury.
 The head restraints on each of the front
and rear seats are specialized to each
seat. Do not switch around the head
restraint positions. If a head restraint is
not installed to its correct seat position,
the effectiveness of the head restraint
during a collision will be compromised
which could cause injury.

Seat Belt Precautions
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury during accidents and sudden
stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and all passengers alwa ys wear seat belts.

(Except Mexico)
All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/sh oulder belts out of the way when
not in use.
The driver's seat belt has no pr ovisions for child-restraint systems and has only an
emergency locking mode. The driver may wear it comfortably, and it will lock during a
collision.
However, the front passenger's s eat and all rear lap/shoulder belt retractors operate in two
modes: emergency locking mode, and for child-restraint systems, automatic locking mode.
While we recommend you put all children in the rear seats, if y ou must use the front
passenger seat for a child, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible and make
sure any child-restraint sy stem is secured properly.

(Mexico)
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts. These belts have retract ors with inertia locks that keep
them out of the way when not in use. The locks allow the belts to remain comfortable on
users, but they will lock in position during a collision.
WA R N I N G
Always wear your seat belt and make sure all occupants are properly restrained:
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerou s. During a collision, occupants not wearing
seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle or even be thrown out of the vehicle.
They could be seriously injured or even killed. In the same collision, occupants wearing seat
belts would be much safer.
Do not wear twisted seat belts:
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is not available to
absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt, which could cause
serious injury or death. So, if your seat belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to
remove any twists and to allow the fu ll width of the belt to be used.
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. Ne ver use one belt for more than one person at a
time and always operate the vehicle wi th each occupant properly restrained.
