Page 35: Child Restraint
Even if the front passenger air bag is shut off, Mazda strongly recommends that children be properly restrained and child-restraint systems of all kinds are properly secured on the rear seats which are the best place for children.
Page 36 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page36 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:1 PM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint Proper Size of Child-Restraint System: For effective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending on age and size.
Page 37 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page37 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:1 PM Front Passenger Seat Position: A front-facing child-restraint system should only be put on the front seat when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
Page 38 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 2-34).
Page 39: Installing Child-Restraint Systems
Some child-restraint systems now come with tethers and therefore must be installed on the seats that take tethers to be effective. In your Mazda, tethered child-restraint systems can only be accommodated in the three positions on the rear seat.
Page 40 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page40 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:1 PM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint 1. Secure the child-restraint system with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. See the manufacturer's instructions on the child-restraint system for belt routing instructions. 2. To get the retractor into the automatic locking mode, pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt until the entire length of the belt is out of the retractor.
Page 41 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page41 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:1 PM WARNING Child-Restraint Tether Usage: Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury. Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system.

Child Restraint LATCH Child-Restraint Systems Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of specially designed LATCH child-restraint systems in the rear seat. Both anchors must be used, otherwise the seat will bounce around and put the child in danger. Most LATCH child-restraint systems must also be used in conjunction with a tether to be effective.

They are located in: The steering wheel hub (driver air bag) The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag) The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags)
Page 51 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page51 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:2 PM Air Bags without Seat Belts: Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous. Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be expected to inflate only in the first collision with frontal, near frontal or side forces that are at least moderate.
Page 52 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page52 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:2 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Seating Position with Side and Curtain Air Bags: Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them is extremely dangerous. The side air bags inflate with great force and speed directly out of the outboard side of the front seat and expand along the front door on the side the car is hit.
Page 53 It also includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system components or wiring. An Authorized Mazda Dealer can provide the special care needed in the removal and installation of front seats.

Page 58: How The Air Bags Work
The front air bags will function only once. After that, the front air bags will not work again and must be replaced. Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can replace the system components. The front, dual stage air bags control air bag inflation in two energy stages. During an impact of moderate severity the front air bags deploy with lesser energy, whereas during more severe impacts, they deploy with more energy.
Page 59 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page59 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:2 PM Front passenger seat weight sensors Your vehicle is also equipped with the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light (page 2-32). These sensors are located under both of the front passenger seat rails. These sensors determine the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
Page 60 ON position and does not illuminate as indicated in the above chart, do not allow a child to sit in the front passenger seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The system may not work properly in an accident.
Page 61 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page61 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:2 PM Increasing the Total Seated Weight on the Front Passenger Seat: When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, increasing the total seated weight on the front passenger seat from the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg (66 lb) is dangerous.
Page 62 If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Driver and front passenger buckle switches The buckle switches on the front seat belts detect whether or not the front seat belts are securely fastened and further control the deployment of the air bags.
Page 63 The side and curtain air bags will function only once. After that, the side and curtain air bags will not work again and must be replaced. Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can replace the systems.
Page 64 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page64 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:2 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Front air bag activation A greater than moderate impact will cause the front air bags to inflate in the following cases: Hitting a solid wall straight on at greater than about 22 km/h (14 mph).
Page 65 Mazdaspeed6_8U01-EA-05H_Edition1 Page65 Thursday, July 7 2005 1:2 PM Rear-ending or running under a truck's tail gate may not provide the stopping force necessary for air bag deployment. Non-activation of front air bags Front air bags will not normally inflate in the following cases: Collision from the rear.

Prevention It is necessary to have your Mazda washed and waxed to preserve its finish according to the instructions in this section. This should be done as soon as possible.
Page 294 In low temperatures a vehicle's finish hardens. This increases the chance of paint chipping. Chipped paint can lead to rust forming on your Mazda. Before this happens, repair the damage by using Mazda touch-up paint according to the instructions in this section.
Page 295: Exterior Care
Cleansers or wax containing abrasives are used. NOTE Mazda is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car washes or improper washing. Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint finishes.
Page 296 Exposed metal quickly rusts and can lead to major repairs. CAUTION If your Mazda is damaged and needs metal parts repaired or replaced, make sure the body shop applies anti- corrosion materials to all parts, both repaired and new.
