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.

qSeat Slide

WARNING

Adjust the driver 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.

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 the seats reclined:

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.

Always sit in a passenger seat properly

with the seatback upright and feet on

the floor:

If your vehicle is equipped with front

passenger seat 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 cause result in serious injury.

Always sit upright against your

seatback, with your feet on the floor.

Do not drive with the seatback

unlocked:

The seatback plays an important role

in your protection in a vehicle.

Leaving the seatback unlocked is

dangerous as it can allow pa ssengers

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 onto the

seatback with your other hand while

operating the lever. If the seatback is

not supported, it will flip forward

suddenly and could cause injury.
