When using these anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to LATCH Child-Restraint Systems (page 2-53).
Page 57: 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 specific seating positions on the rear seats (both second-row seats and third-row center seat).

Page 69 Mazda MPV_8U61-EA-05G_Edition1 Page69 Tuesday, June 21 2005 9:32 AM 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 75: 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.
