Front Seats

WARNING

Do not modify or replac e the front

seats:

Modifying or replacing the front seats

such as replacing the upholstery or

loosening any bolts is dangerous. The

front seats contain 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 reinstall the

front seats.

Do not drive with damaged front seats:

Driving with damaged front seats is

dangerous. A collision, 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 locked 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 attempting 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 around moving parts of

the front seat when adjusting the

seat positions to prevent injury.

qSeat Slide

To move a seat forward or backward, rais e

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.

Black plate (15,1)

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 front passenger seat

properly with the seatback upright and

feet on the floor (With Driver and Front

Passenger Occupant Classification

System):

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.

CAUTION

When returning a rear-reclined

seatback to its upright position,

make sure you hold on to the

up or down.

qLumbar Support Adjustment

(Driver's Seat)

í

Move the lever forwards to adjust the

lumbar support as required.

qArmrest

The armrest can be used or placed upright.

WARNING

Never position the shoulder portion of

a front seat belt over the armrest:

Positioning the shoulder portion of a

front seat belt over the armrest is

dangerous as it cannot provide

adequate protection in a collision

and could result in serious injuries.

Second-Row Seats

WARNING

Do not stack cargo higher than the

seatbacks:

Stacking luggage or other cargo

higher than the seatbacks is

dangerous. During a sudden stop or

collision, objects can fly around and

become projectiles that could hit and

injure passengers.

Make sure luggage and cargo are

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 locked in place by

attempting to slide the seat forward

and backward and rocking the

seatback:

Adjustable seats that are not securely

latched are dangerous. In a sudden

stop or collision, the seat or seatback

could move, causing injury.

Adjust the seat only when the vehicle is

stopped:

Adjusting the seat while the vehicle is

moving is dangerous. Sudden

braking or a collision could cause

serious 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

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.

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 the 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 around moving parts of

the second-row seat when adjusting

the seat positions to prevent injury.

NOTE

The second-row seats cannot be removed.

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

qSeat Recline

WARNING

Do not drive with the seats reclined:

Sitting in a reclined position while the

vehicle is moving is dangerous

because you do not get the full

protection from the 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.

Do not recline a second-row seatback

when the third row seat is occupied:

Reclining the second-row seatback

when the third-row seat is occupied

is dangerous.Because the clearance

in the third-row seat is limited,

occupants in the third-row seat could

be hurt seriously on a reclined

second-row seatback.

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
