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 (5–
Door).
If the red indication is visible behind the
push knob, it means the seatback is not
locked. If the vehicle is driven without the

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.

(Mexico)
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts.
These belts 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 du ring a collision.

(Except Mexico)
All of the seat belt retractors are designed
to keep the lap/shoulder belts out of the
way when not in use.
The driver's seat belt has no provisions 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 seat 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 you
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 system is secured properly.
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
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.

Mazda3_8HZ1-EA-19G_Edition1_old 2019-5-17 13:49:03

▼Pregnant Women and Persons with
Serious Medical Conditions
Pregnant women should always wear seat
belts. Ask your doctor for specific
recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY
AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER
THE HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn across
your shoulder properly, but never across
the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical conditions
also should wear seat belts. Check with
your doctor for any
special instructions
regarding specific medical conditions.
▼ Emergency Locking Mode
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt
remains comfortable on the occupant and
the retractor will lock in position during a
collision.
If the belt is locked a
nd cannot be pulled
out, retract the belt once, and then try
pulling it out slowly. If this fails, pull the
belt strongly 1 time and loosen, then pull it
out again slowly.
(Seat Belt with Automatic Locking
Mode)
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking mode
until it is switched to automatic locking
mode by pulling it all the way out to its
full length. If the belt feels tight and
hinders comfortable movement while the
vehicle is stopped or in motion, it may be
in the automatic locking mode because the
belt has been pulled to o far out. To return
the belt to the more comfortable
emergency locking mode, wait until the
vehicle has stopped in a safe, level area,
retract the belt fully to convert it back to
emergency locking mode and then extend
it around you again.
▼ Automatic Lockin
g Mode (Except
Mexico)
Always use the automatic locking mode to
keep the child-restraint system from
shifting to an unsafe position in the event
of an accident. To enable seat belt
automatic locking mode, pull it all the way
out and connect it as instructed on the
child-restraint system . It will retract down
to the child-restraint system and stay
locked on it. See the section on child
restraint (page 2-44).
