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.

Booster seat
A booster seat is a child restraint accessory designed to improve the fit of the seat
belt system around the child's body.
1. Full booster seat
2. Backless booster seat
When using a backless booster seat, always install the vehicle head restraint to the
seat where the backless booster seat is installed.
Installing Child-RestraintSystems
Accident statistics reveal that a child is
safer in the rear seat. The front
passenger's seat is clearly the worst
choice for any child under 12, and
with rear-facing child-restraint systems
it is clearly unsafe due to air bags.
NOTE
Even if your vehicle is equipped with
front passenger occupant classification
sensor (page 3-16), which
automatically deactivates the front
passenger air bag , a rear seat is the
safest place for a child of any age or
size.
Some child-restraint systems now
come with tethers and therefore must
be installed on the seats that take
tethers to be effective.
Some child-restraint systems also
employ specially designed LATCH
attachments; refer to " How to Use the
LATCH Lower Anchor"(page 3-66).

7. Push the child-restraint systemfirmly 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 the
automatic locking mode. If the belt
does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat this step.
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.
8. If your child-restraint system requires the use of a tether strap,
refer to the manufacturer's
instructions to hook and tighten the
tether strap.
If You Must Use the Front
Seat for Children
If you cannot put all children in the
rear seat, at least put the smallest
children in the rear and be sure the
largest child up front uses the shoulder
belt over the shoulder.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat
whether your vehicle is equipped with
an occupant classification sensor or
not.
This seat is also not set up for tethered
child-restraint systems, put them in
one of the rear seat positions set up
with tether anchors.
Likewise the LATCH child-restraint
system cannot be secured in the front
passenger's seat and should be used in
the second-row seat.
Do not allow anyone to sleep against
the side window since your vehicle has
side and curtain air bags, it could
cause serious injuries to an out of
position occupant. As children more
often sleep in cars, it is better to put
them in the rear seat. If installing the
child-restraint system on the front seat
is unavoidable, follow these
instructions when using a front-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat.
NOTE
To check if your front seats have side
air bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with side
air bag will have a "SRS AIRBAG" tag
on the outboard shoulder of the
front seats.
To check if your vehicle has curtain
air bags:
