Seat Slide

To move a seat forward or backward, raise

the lever and slide the seat to the desired

position and release the lever.

Front Seats (Manually

Operated Seats)

Modification of 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.

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,

the 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.

WARNING

Securing the Seats:

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.

Driver’s Seat Adjustment:

Adjusting the driver’s seat while the

vehicle is moving is dangerous. The

driver could lose control of the vehicle

and have an accident. Adjust the

driver’s seat only when the vehicle is

stopped.

Make sure the lever returns to its original

position and the seat is locked in place by

attempting to push it forward and

backward.

▼

Seat Recline

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.

Reclining:

Sitting in a reclined position while the

vehicle is moving is dangerous

because you don’t 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.

Unlocked Seatback:

The seatback plays 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.

WARNING

When returning a rear-reclined

seatback to its upright position, make

sure you support the seatback while

operating the seatback lever. If the

seatback is not supported, it will flip

forward suddenly and could cause

injury.
