Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
WARNING
Children and Seating Position with Side and Curtain Air Bags:
Allowing anyone to lean over or against the front or rear doors is dangerous. If the
vehicle is equipped with side and curtain air bags, the impact of inflation could cause
serious injury or death to the person. Children are more likely to sleep in the vehicle;
when they do, they are more at risk in the front passenger’s seat that have a side air
bag because they may slump over into the path of the air bags.Furthermore, leaning
over or against the doors could block the side and curtain air bags and eliminate the
advantages of supplemental protection.With the front air bag and the additional side
air bag that comes out of the front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for
children who are prone to sleeping. Do not allow a child to lean over or against the
doors, even if the child is seated in a child-restraint system.
One Belt, One Passenger:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used
in this way can’t spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could be
crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more
than one person at a time.
Operating the Remote Handle Levers While a Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System is
in the Rear Seat:
Operating the remote handle levers while a rear-facing child-restraint system is in the
rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury to a child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly flips forward. Always remove the child-restraint
system from the rear seat before operating the remote handle levers for the rear seat.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child
touches them.
NOTE
Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of specially
designed LATCH child-restraint systems in the rear seat. When using these anchors to
secure a child-restraint system, refer to "LATCH Child-Restraint Systems" (page 2-29).
