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.

Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Anchor Bracket
WARNING
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position.
Attaching the tether strap to the
incorrect tether anchor position is
dangerous. In a collision, the tether
strap could come off and loosen the
child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could
result in death or injury to the child.
Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system.
Using the tether or tether anchor to
secure anything but a child-restraint
system is dangerous. This could
weaken or damage the tether or tether
anchor and result in injury.
Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system (except
when installing a backless booster
seat) (Except third-row outboard
seat).
Installing a child-restraint system
without removing the head restraint is
dangerous. The child-restraint system
cannot be installed correctly which
may result in death or injury to the
child in a collision.
If the top tether strap does not reach
the anchor bracket, purchase and use
an extension strap provided by the CRS
manufacturer.

Mazda vehicles equipped with
curtain air bag will have an "SRS
AIRBAG" marking on the window
pillars along the roof edge.Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Front Seat for Children
WARNING
Always move the front passenger seat
as far back as possible if installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on
it is unavoidable.
As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so because your vehicle has
side air bags, a front-facing
child-restraint system should be put on
the front passenger seat only when it is
unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates,
always move the seat as far back as
possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious
injury or death to the child.
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air
bag that could deploy.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
Even in a moderate collision, the
child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury or
death to the child. Even though you
may feel assured that the front
passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, you should
not use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat.

WARNING
Do not seat a child in a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat if
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate.
While it is always better to install any
child-restraint system on the rear seat,
it is imperative that a child-restraint
system ONLY be used on the front
passenger seat if the deactivation
indicator light illuminates when the
child is seated in the child-restraint
system (page 3-16). Seating a child in
a child-restraint system installed on the
front passenger seat with the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light not illuminated is
dangerous. If this indicator light does
not illuminate, this means that the
front passenger front and side air bags,
and knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioners are ready for
deployment. If an accident were to
deploy an air bag, a child in a
child-restraint system sitting in the
front passenger seat could be seriously
injured or killed. If the indicator light
does not illuminate after seating a
child in a child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat, seat a child in a
child-restraint system on the rear seat
and consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
Using the LATCH Lower
Anchor
Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH
lower anchors for attachment of
specially designed LATCH
child-restraint systems in the
second-row/third-row right seats. Both
anchors must be used, otherwise the
seat will bounce around and put the
child in danger. Most LATCH
child-restraint systems must also be
used in conjunction with a tether to be
effective. If they have a tether you must
use it to better assure your child's
safety.

Warnings and Cautions for Using the LATCH Lower
Anchor
WARNING
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of the child-restraint system.
An unsecured child-restraint system is dang erous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or deat h to the child or other occupants. Make
sure the child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the
child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions.
Never attach two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower anchor.
Attaching two child-restraint systems to th e same LATCH lower anchor is dangerous.
In a collision, one anchor may not be st rong enough to hold two child-restraint
system attachments, and it may break, causing serious injury or death. If you use the
seat position for another child-restraint sy stem when an outboard LATCH 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 dang erous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or deat h to the child or other occupants. Follow
the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions on belt routing 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 LATCH lower anchors for LATCH
child-restraint systems.
Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or around the LATCH
child-restraint system.
Not following the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions when installing
the child-restraint system is dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign object prevent the
child-restraint system from being securely attached to the LATCH lower anchors and
the child-restraint system is installed improperly, the child-restraint system could
move in a sudden stop or collision causing serious injury or death to the child or
other occupants. When installing the child-restraint system, make sure there are no
seat belts or foreign objects near or arou nd the LATCH lower anchors. Always follow
the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions.

someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may find these keys to
be an interesting toy to play with and
could cause the power windows or
other controls to operate, or even
make the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Radio equipment like this is
governed by laws in the United
States.
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
Because the key (transmitter) uses
low-intensity radio waves, it may not
function correctly under the
following conditions:
The key (transmitter) is carried with
communication devices such as
cellular phones.
The key (transmitter) contacts or is
covered by a metal object.
The key (transmitter) is near
electronic devices such as personal
computers.
Non-Mazda genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the
