If the front passenger seat belt is not fastened when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the warning light/beep operates to give you further reminders according to the chart below.
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 37
Mazda5_8U38-EA-05D_Edition1 Page37 Monday, March 28 2005 1:56 PM 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. If not, the child could be seriously injured or even killed in an accident. Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions and Always Keep the Child-Restraint System Buckled Down: An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous.
Page 38
Mazda5_8U38-EA-05D_Edition1 Page38 Monday, March 28 2005 1:56 PM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint 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 39
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 seats. When using these anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to LATCH Child-Restraint Systems (page 2-35).
Page 40
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 four positions on the rear seats.
Page 41
Mazda5_8U38-EA-05D_Edition1 Page41 Monday, March 28 2005 1:57 PM 1. If the seat in which you install a child- restraint system has a seat slide function, slide the seat as far back as possible. 2. Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until it is fully locked.
