Front Seats

WARNING

Do not modify or replace the front

seats:

Modifying or repla cing the front seats

such as replacing the upholstery or

loosening any bolts is dangerous. The

front seats conta in air bag

components essential to the

supplemental restraint system. Such

modifications could damage the

supplemental restraint system and

result in serious injury. Consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer if there is

any need to remove or reins tall the

front seats.

Do not drive with damaged front seats:

Driving with damaged front seats is

dangerous. A collis ion, even one not

strong enough to inflate the air bags,

could damage the front seats which

contain essential air bag

components. If there was a

subsequent collision, an air bag may

not deploy which could lead to

injuries. Always have an Authorized

Mazda Dealer inspect the front seats,

front seat belt pretensioners and air

bags after a collision.

Make sure the adjustable components

of a seat are locke d in place:

Adjustable seats and seatbacks that

are not securely locked are

dangerous. In a sudden stop or

collision, the seat or seatback could

move, causing injury. Make sure the

adjustable components of the seat

are locked in place by attemp ting to

slide the seat forward and backward

and rocking the seatback.

Adjust the driver's seat only when the

vehicle is stopped:

Adjusting the driver's seat while the

vehicle is moving is dangerous. The

driver could lose control of the vehicle

and have an accident.

CAUTION

Be careful not to place your hands

and fingers aroun d moving parts of

the front seat when adjusting the

seat positions to prevent injury.

qSeat Slide

To move a seat forward or backward, raise

the lever and slide the seat to the desired

position and release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original

position and the seat is locked in place by

attempting to push it forward and

backward.

qSeat Recline

WARNING

Do not drive with either front seat

reclined:

Sitting in a reclined position while the

vehicle is moving is dangerous

because you do not get the full

protection from seat belts. During

sudden braking or a collision, you

can slide under the lap belt and

suffer serious internal injuries. For

maximum protection, sit well back

and upright.

Always sit in the passenger seat

properly with the seatback upright and

feet on the floor:

Your front passenger seat has weight

sensors, sitting in the front passenger

seat improperly out of position or

with the seatback reclined too far

while the vehicle is moving is

dangerous as it can take off weight

from the seat bottom and affect the

weight determination of the front

passenger sensing system. As a result

the front passenger will not have the

supplementary protection of the air

bag and seat belt pretensioner, which

could result in serious injury. Always

sit upright against the seatback with

your feet on the floor.

Do not drive with the seatback

unlocked:

All of the seatbacks play an

important role in your protection in a

vehicle. Leaving the seatback

unlocked is dangerous as it can allow

passengers to be ejected or thrown

around and baggage to strike

occupants in a sudden stop or

collision, resulting in severe injury.

After adjusting the seatback at any

time, even when there are no other

passengers, rock the seatback to

make sure it is locked in place.

To change the seatback angle, lean

forward slightly while raising the lever.

Then lean back to the desired position and

release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original

position and the seatback is locked in

place by attempting to push it forward and

backward.

Rear Seat

WARNING

Do not stack cargo higher than the

seatbacks or place articles on the rear

package tray:

Stacking luggage or other cargo

higher than the seatbacks, and

placing articles on the rear package

tray is dangerous. During sudden

braking or a collision, objects can fly

around and become projectiles that

may hit and injure passengers.

Make sure luggage and cargo is

secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving is

dangerous as it could move or be

crushed during sudden braking or a

collision and cause injury.

Make sure the adjustable components

of a seat are locke d in place:

Adjustable seats that are not securely

locked are dangerous. In a sudden

stop or collision, the seat or seatback

could move, causing injury.

Do not drive with the seatback

unlocked:

All of the seatbacks play an

important role in your protection in a

vehicle. Leaving the seatback

unlocked is dangerous as it can allow

passengers to be ejected or thrown

around and baggage to strike

occupants in a sudden stop or

Never allow a passenger to sit or stand

on the folded seatback while the

vehicle is moving:

Driving with a passenger on the

folded seatback is dangerous.

Allowing a child to sit up on the

folded seatback while the vehicle is

moving is particularly dangerous. In

a sudden stop or even a minor

collision, a child not in a proper seat

or child-restraint system and seat

belt could be thrown forward, back

or even out of th e vehicle resulting in

serious injuries or death. The child in

the baggage area could be thrown

into other occupants and cause

serious injury.

CAUTION

Be careful not to place your hands

and fingers aroun d moving parts of

the rear seat when adjusting the seat

positions to prevent injur y.

NOTE

When returning a rear seat to its original

position, also replace the seat belt to its

normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls

out and retracts.

qSplit-Folding Rear Seatback

The seatbacks can be folded down to

provide more space in the luggage

compartment.

To fold the seatbacks

CAUTION

When operating the rear seatback

knob, make sure you support the

seatback with your hand. If the

seatback is not supported with your

hand, it will flip forward suddenly

and could cause injury to the finger

that pushes the rear seatback knob

down.

1. Lower the head restraint all the way

down (page 2-7).

2. Support the seatback with your hand.

3. Push the rear seatback knob down.

To return the seatbacks to the upright

position

WARNING

Always make sure the seat belts are

fully pulled out from under the

seatbacks:

A seat belt caught under a seatback

after the seatback is returned to its

upright position is dangerous. In a

collision or sudden stop, the seat belt

cannot provide adequate protection.

When returning the seatback to the

upright position, make sure there is no

red indication:

A rear seatback not fully returned

and locked in the upright position is

dangerous. Sudden stops or

maneuvering could cause a seatback

to flip forward suddenly resulting in

injury. If the red indicator is visible on

the back of the rear seatback knob,

the seatback is not locked in the

upright position.
