Seat Belts
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.
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.
ELR (emergency locking retractor)
system
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 and 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.
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 too 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 locking mode
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 3-59).
Pretensioner system
If the vehicle receives a strong impact
from the front or side of the vehicle,
the system retracts the seat belts to
increase their effect.
When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously
with the air bags.
The seat belt retractor quickly removes
slack when an air bag is inflated.
The pretensioners deploy
simultaneously with the air bags when
a roll-over is also detected.
The seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have fired they must be
replaced.

Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
second-row/third-row center seat
*.
The head restraints are intended to
help protect you and the passengers
from neck injury.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Head Restraints
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted.
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
After installing a head restraint, try
lifting it to make sure that it does not
pull out.
Driving with an unsecured head
restraint is dangerous as the
effectiveness of the head restraint will
be compromised which could cause it
to unexpectedly detach from the seat.
(Third-row seat)
Always drive with the head restraints
in their upright positions when the
third-row seats are occupied, and
make sure they are securely locked in
place.
Driving with the head restraints folded
down is dangerous. With no support
behind your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.

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.

How to Use the
Automatic Locking Mode
NOTE
Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully. If
you are not sure whether you have a
LATCH system or tether, check in the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions and follow them
accordingly. Depending on the type of
child-restraint system, it may use
LATCH system instead of seat belts or if
the belt goes across the child's chest,
may recommend against using
automatic locking mode.
1. (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.
2.(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.
3. Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.
4. If a removable head restraint isequipped, remove it. 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.
5. Secure the child-restraint system with the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. See the
manufacturer's instructions on the
child-restraint system for belt
routing instructions.
6. 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.

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:
