Seat Precautions
▼Seat Precautions
WARNING
Make sure the adjustable components
of a seat are locked in place:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are
not securely locked are dangerous. In a
sudden stop or collision, the seat or
seatback could move, causing injury.
Make sure the adjustable components
of the seat are locked in place by
attempting to slide the seat forward
and backward and rocking the
seatback.
Never allow children to adjust a seat:
Allowing children to adjust a seat is
dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child's hands or feet become
caught in the seat.
Do not drive with the seatback
unlocked:
All of the seatbacks play an important
role in your protection in a vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is
dangerous as it can allow passengers
to be ejected or thrown around and
baggage to strike occupants in a
sudden stop or collision, resulting in
severe injury. After adjusting the
seatback at any time, even when there
are no other passengers, rock the
seatback to make sure it is locked in
place.
Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is
stopped:
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle
is being driven, the seating posture
may become unstable and the seat
could move unexpectedly resulting in
injury.
Do not modify or replace the front
seats:
Modifying or replacing the front seats
such as replacing the upholstery or
loosening any bolts is dangerous. The
front seats contain air bag components
essential to the supplementary restraint
system. Such modifications could
damage the supplementary restraint
system and result in serious injury.
Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) if there is any need to
remove or reinstall the front seats.
Do not drive with damaged front
seats:
Driving with damaged front seats, such
as seat cushions torn or damaged
down to the urethane, is dangerous. A
collision, even one not strong enough
to inflate the air bags, could damage
the front seats which contain essential
air bag components. If there was a
subsequent collision, an air bag may
not deploy which could lead to
injuries. Always have an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) inspect the front seats, front
seat belt pretensioners and air bags
after a collision.
Essential Safety Equipment
Seats
2-2
Do not drive with either front 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
fixed 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 fly 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.Never allow a passenger to sit or
stand on the folded seatback while
the vehicle is moving:
Driving with a passenger on the folded
seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child
to sit up on the folded seatback while
the vehicle is moving is particularly
dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a
minor collision, a child not in a proper
seat or child-restraint system and seat
belt could be thrown forward, back or
even out of the vehicle resulting in
serious injuries or death. The child in
the baggage area could be thrown into
other occupants and cause serious
injury.
CAUTION
¾When operating a seat, be careful
not to put your hands or fingers near
the moving parts of the seat or on
the side trim to prevent injury.
¾When moving the seats, make sure
there is no cargo in the surrounding
area. If the cargo gets caught it could
damage the cargo.
¾(Manual Seat)
When moving the seats forward and
rearward or returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position,
make sure you hold onto the
seatback with your hand while
operating. If the seatback is not held,
the seat will move suddenly and
could cause injury.
¾When inserting your hand under the
seat to clean the cabin or pick up
something you dropped under the
seat, be careful not to hurt yourself.
If you contact the moving parts and
surrounding parts around the seat
rail, seat frame, and the bottom of
the seat, it could result in injury.

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.

Child-Restraint
Precautions
▼Child-Restraint Precautions
Mazda strongly urges the use of
child-restraint systems for children
small enough to use them.
Mazda recommends use of a Mazda
genuine child-restraint system or one
that complies with the UN-R
*1 44 or
UN-R 129 regulation. If you would like
to purchase a Mazda genuine
child-restraint system, please contact
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding the safety of
children riding in your vehicle.
*1 UN-R stands for United Nations
Regulation.
Whatever child-restraint system you
consider, please pick the appropriate
one for the age and size of the child,
obey the law and follow the
instructions that come with the
individual child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown
child-restraint systems should sit in the
rear and use seat belts.
The child-restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat.
Statistics confirm that the rear seat is
the best place for all children up to 12
years of age-the more so with a
supplementary restraint system (air
bags).
A rear-facing child-restraint system
should NEVER be used in the front
passenger seat with the air bag system
activated. The front passenger's seat is
also the least preferred seat for other
child-restraint systems.
For some models, we have provided a
deactivation switch that will disable
front passenger air bag inflation. Do
not switch off the front passenger air
bag without reading the “Front
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch”
(page 2-51).
WARNING
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.
