An additional electrical device, such as a seat warmer is installed to the surface of the
passenger seat.
Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window of a vehicle with side
air bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the side window, the area of the
passenger seat from which the side air bags deploy, even if a child-restraint system is used.
The impact of inflation from a side air bag co uld cause serious injury or death to an out of
position child. Furthermore, le aning over or against the door could block the side air bags and
eliminate the advantages of supplemental prot ection. Because the side air bag deploys from
the outboard shoulder of the seat, do not allo w the child to lean over or against the side
window, even if the child is seated in a child-restraint system.
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.
Always use a child-restraint system designed for use without a tether or the ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower anchor:
Using a child-restraint system that requires a tether or the ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower anchor is
dangerous. Your Mazda does not have a child-restraint tether or the ISOFIX/LATCH
*1 lower
anchor. The child-restraint system cannot be properly secured. In a collision, it could move
and injure other occupants as well as result in serious injuries or death to the child.
*1 ISOFIX (Mexico)/LATCH (Except Mexico)
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can beco me very hot in a closed vehicle during warm
weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child touches
them.
