2024 MAZDA CX90 weight

A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner
System Warning Light on page 8-47.
In addition, the pretensioner system
for the front passenger, like the front
and side passenger air bag, is designed
to only deploy in accordance with the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger
seat weight sensors (page 3-16).
Load limiting system
If the vehicle receives a strong impact
from the front of the vehicle, the load
limiting system operates to prevent the
seat belts from applying an excessive
load. By maintaining the load applied
to the seat belt to a specified level, the
system reduces impact to an
occupant's chest.
Even if the pretensioners have not
fired, the load limiting function must
be checked by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
The pretensioner system operates if
the vehicle receives a strong impact
from the vehicle front or side
direction. The system may not
operate if the impact is weak.
Some smoke might be released
when the pretensioner system
operates, but this does not mean
there is a fire. This gas normally has
no effect on occupants. However,
those with sensitive skin may
experience light skin irritation. If
residue from the operation of the
pretensioner system gets on the skin
or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as
possible.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Seat Belts
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.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

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.

Child-restraint Systems
Mazda strongly urges the use of
child-restraint systems for children
small enough to use them.

You are required by law to use a
child-restraint system for children in
the U.S. and Canada.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding the safety of
children riding in your vehicle.

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, both lap and
shoulder. If the shoulder belt crosses
the neck or face, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle in the
outboard seats, and towards the
buckle on the right if the child is seated
on the center seat.

Statistics confirm that the rear seat is
the best place for all children up to 12
years of age, and more so with a
supplemental restraint system (air
bags).

A rear-facing child-restraint system
should NEVER be used on the front
seat with the air bag system activated.
The front passenger's seat is also the
least preferred seat for other
child-restraint systems.

To reduce the chance of injuries
caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag , the front passenger
seat weight sensors occupant
classification sensor works as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. This
system deactivates the front passenger
front and side air bags and knee air
bags, and also the front passenger seat
belt pretensioner system when the
front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates.

When an infant or small child sits on
the front passenger seat, the system
shuts off the front passenger front and
side air bags and knee air bags, and
seat belt pretensioner system, so make
sure the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.

Even if the front passenger air bag is
shut off, Mazda strongly recommends
that children be properly restrained
and child-restraint systems of all kinds
are properly secured on the rear seats
which are the best place for children.

Ve h i c l e s w i t h a f r o nt passenger air bag
have the following warning label. The
warning label reminds you not to put a
rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat at any time.
Do not install a front-facing
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat unless it is
unavoidable.
In a collision, the force of a deploying
air bag could cause serious injury or
death to the child. If installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, move the front passenger
seat as far back as possible and adjust
the seat bottom (height adjustable seat
bottom) to the highest position at
which the seat belt fastening the
child-restraint system is securely
tightened.
Seating a child in a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat is
dangerous under certain conditions .
Your vehicle is equipped with front
passenger seat weight sensors. Even
with the front passenger seat weight
sensors, if you must use the front
passenger seat to seat a child, using a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat un der the following
conditions increases the danger of the
front passenger air bag deploying and
could result in serious injury or death
to the child.
 The front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate when seating a child in the
child-restraint system.
 Luggage or other items are placed on
the seat with the child in the
child-restraint system.
 A rear passenger or luggage pushing
or pulling down on the front
passenger seatback.
 Luggage or other items are placed on
the seatback or hung on the head
restraint.
 The seat is washed.
 Liquids are spilled on the seat.
 The front passenger seat is moved
backward, pushing into luggage or
other items placed behind it.
 The front passenger seatback
contacts the rear seat.
 Luggage or other items are placed
between the front passenger seat
and driver seat.
 An electric device is put on the front
passenger's seat.
 An additional electrical device, such
as a seat warmer is installed to the
surface of the front passenger seat.
 Any accessories, which might
increase the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat, are
attached to the front passenger seat.

How to Install a
Child-Restraint System
on the Front Passenger's
Seat
1. Make sure the vehicle power isswitched off.
2. Slide the seat as far back as
possible.
3. Remove the head restraint.However, when installing a backless
booster seat, always install the
vehicle head restraint to the seat
where the backless booster seat is
installed.
4. Place the child-restraint system on the seat without putting your
weight on the seat and fasten the
seat belt. See the manufacturer's
instructions on the child-restraint
system for belt routing instructions.
5. To get the retractor into the automatic locking mode, pull the
shoulder belt portion of the seat
belt until the entire length of the
belt is out of the retractor.
6. Push the child-restraint system firmly into the vehicle seat. Be sure
the belt retracts as snugly as
possible. A clicking noise from the
retractor will be heard during
retraction if the system is in
automatic locking mode. If the belt
does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat the previous step and also
this one.
NOTE
Inspect this function before each
use of the child-restraint system.
You should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor
while the system is in the
automatic locking mode. When
you remove the child-restraint
system, be sure the belt fully
retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before
occupants use the seat belts.
Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
Depending on the type of
child-restraint system, it may not
employ seat belts which are in
automatic locking mode.
7. Seat your child safely in the child-restraint system and secure
the child according to the
instructions from the child-restraint
system manufacturer.
8. Switch the vehicle power ON and make sure the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates after installing a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate, remove the
child-restraint system, switch the
vehicle power to OFF, and then
re-install the child-restraint system
(page 3-16).
