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).

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.

How to Use the LATCHLower Anchor
Installation on second-row/third-row
right seat
1.(Second-row seat)
First, adjust the front seat to allow
clearance between the
child-restraint system and the front
seat.
Refer to How to Use the Front Seats
on page 3-30.
2. (Second-row seat)
Adjust the second-row seat
position using the following
procedure.
1. Fold the second-row seatback
forward.
2. Raise the second-row seatback until a click sound is heard and
it is locked in place.
3.(Second-row seat)
Adjust the angle of the second-row
seatback so that there is no gap
between the child-restraint system
and the second-row seatback.
4. Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.
5. Remove the cover of the child-restraint system's LATCH
lower anchors to verify the
locations of the LATCH lower
anchors.

1. LATCH lower anchor
NOTE
The LATCH lower anchors
marking on the cover indicates
the position of the LATCH lower
anchors for the attachment of a
child-restraint system.
6. 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.
Refer to How to Use the Head
Restraints on page 3-48.
7. Secure the child-restraint system using BOTH LATCH lower anchors,
following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instruction. Pull on
the child-restraint to be sure both
anchors are engaged.

8. If your child-restraint system cameequipped with a tether, that means
it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety.
Please carefully follow the
child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing tethers.

Installation on second-row center seat
The LATCH lower anchors at the center
of the second-row seat are much
further apart than the sets of LATCH
lower anchors for child-restraint system
installation at other seating positions.
Child-restraint systems with rigid
LATCH attachments cannot be
installed on the center seating
position. Some LATCH equipped
child-restraint systems can be placed in
the center position and will reach the
nearest LATCH lower anchors which
are 500 mm (19.7 in) apart. LATCH
compatible child-restraint systems
(with attachments on belt webbing)
can be used at this seating position
only if the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions state that
the child-restraint system can be
installed to LATCH lower anchors that
are 500 mm (19.7 in) apart. Do not
attach two child-restraint systems to
the same LATCH lower anchor. If your
child-restraint system has a tether, it
must also be used for your child's
optimum safety.

The procedure for installation on the
rear outboard seats is the same.
