▼(Mexico) Using ISOFIX Lower Anchor (Second-Row Seats)/(Except Mexico)
Using LATCH Lower Anch
or (Second-Row Seats)
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors for attachment of specially
designed ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 child-restraint systems in the second-row seats. Both anchors
must be used, otherwise the seat will bounce around and put the child in danger. Most
ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 child-restraint systems must a lso be used in conjunction with a tether to
be effective. If they have a teth er you must use it to better assure your child's safety.
WA R N I N G
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 the child-restraint
system is properly secured in place accordin g to the child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.
Never attach two child-restraint systems to the same ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower anchor:
Attaching two child-restraint systems to the same ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower anchor is dangerous.
In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child-restraint system
attachments, and it may break, causing serious inju ry or death. If you use the seat position for
another child-restraint system when an outboard ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 position is occupied, use
the center seat belts instead, and the tether if tether-equipped.
Make sure the child-restraint system is properly secured:
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. Follow the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions on belt routin g to secure the seat just as you would with a
child in it so that nobody is tempted to put a child in an improperly secured seat later on.
When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten it with a seat belt, or attach it to BOTH
ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH*1 child-restraint systems.

Installation on second-row center seat
The ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors at
the center of the second-row seat are much
further apart than t he sets of ISOFIX/
LATCH
*1 lower anchors for child-restraint
system installation at other seating
positions. Child-restraint systems with
rigid ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 attachments
cannot be installed on the center seating
position. Some ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
equipped child-restraint systems can be
placed in the center position and will reach
the nearest ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower
anchors which are 500 mm (19.7 in) apart.
ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 compatible
child-restraint system s (with attachments
on belt webbing) can be used at this
seating position only if the child-restraint
system manufacturer' s instructions state
that the child-restra int system can be
installed to ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower
anchors that are 500 mm (19.7 in) apart.
Do not attach two child-restraint systems
to the same ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower
anchor. If your child-restraint system has a
tether, it must also be used for your child's
optimum safety.
The procedure for installation on the rear
outboard seats is the same.

Do not modify the supplemental restraint system:
Modifying the components or wiring of the supplemental restraint system is dangerous. You
could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not make any modifications to the
supplemental restraint system. This includes inst alling trim, badges, or anything else over the
air bag modules. It also includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system
components or wiring. An Authorized Mazda Dealer can provide the special care needed in
the removal and installation of front seats. It is important to protect the air bag wiring and
connections to assure that the bags do not accidentally deploy, and that the front passenger
occupant classification system and the seats retain an undamaged air bag connection.
Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under th e front seats is dangerous. The components
essential to the supplemental restraint system could be damaged, and in the event of a side
collision, the appropriate air bags may not de ploy, which could result in death or serious
injury. To prevent damage to the components essential to the supplemental restraint system,
do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats.
Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components:
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt preten sioner system components must be replaced
after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a trained Authorized
Mazda Dealer can fully evaluate these systems to see that they will work in any subsequent
accident. Driving with an expended or damage d air bag or pretensioner unit will not afford
you the necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could result in
serious injury or death.
Do not remove interior air bag parts:
Removing any components such as the front seats, front dashboard, the steering wheel or
parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge, containing air bag parts
or sensors is dangerous. These parts contain essential air bag components. The air bag could
accidentally activate and cause serious injuri es. Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
remove these parts.
Properly dispose of the air bag system:
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely
dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer safely dispose of the air bag sy stem or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.

Do not use the front bumper to push other vehi cles or obstructions such as when pulling
out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its position
deviated.
Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).
For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not modify the suspension. If the suspensi on are modified, the vehicle's posture could
change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle ahead or
an obstruction.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles
ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as an
unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.
Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead ca sting off water, snow, or sand from its tires
and onto your windshield.
The luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.
During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.
When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles
ahead or obstructions.
The beginning and end of a curve.
Roads with continuous curves.
Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.
The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.
The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.
Roads with repeated up and down slopes
Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.
The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.
A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.
To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including
the temporary spare tire).
If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.
