2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 Owners Manual (in English)

Rear Seat
▼Split Folding
By lowering the rear seatbacks the
luggage compartment space can be
expanded.
WARNING
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
¾When 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.
¾Check 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.
Lower or remove the head restraint
on the rear outboard seat if
necessary.
Press the push knob to fold down the
seatback.

To return the seatback to its upright
position:
WARNING
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. Locked position
2. Unlocked position
3. Red indication

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. Seat belt guide

2. Press the seatback rearward and
lock it in place. After returning the
seatback to its upright position,
make sure it is securely locked.

▼Armrest*
The rear armrest in the centre of the
rear seatback can be used (no
occupant in the centre seat) or placed
upright.

WARNING
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.
Head Restraints
▼Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
rear centre seat. The head restraints are
intended to help protect you and the
passengers from neck injury.
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted:
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
centre 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.
WARNING
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
¾When 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.
¾The 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 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 always wear seat belts.
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts.
These belts also have retractors 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.
WARNING
Always wear your seat belt and make
sure all occupants are properly
restrained:
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely
dangerous. 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 full 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.
Never use one belt for more than one
person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.
Do not operate a vehicle with a
damaged seat belt:
Using a damaged seat belt is
dangerous. An accident could damage
the belt webbing of the seat belt in
use. A damaged seat belt cannot
provide adequate protection in a
collision. Have an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) inspect all seat belt systems
in use during an accident before they
are used again.
Have your seat belts changed
immediately if the pretensioner or
load limiter has been expended:
Always have an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) immediately inspect the seat
belt pretensioners and air bags after
any collision. Like the air bags, the seat
belt pretensioners and load limiters
will only function once and must be
replaced after any collision that caused
them to deploy. If the seat belt
pretensioners and load limiters are not
replaced, the risk of injury in a collision
will increase.
