Page 26: Seat Belt Systems
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury during accidents and sudden stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and all passengers always wear seat belts. All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/shoulder belts out of the way when not in use.
Page 27 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page27 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time: Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed.
Page 28 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page28 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Black plate (28,1) Essential Safety Equipment Seat Belt Systems qEmergency Locking Mode In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the occupant and the retractor will lock in position during a collision. When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency locking mode until it is switched to automatic locking mode by pulling it all the way out to its full length.

Page 39: 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 40 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page40 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint Use the correct size 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 41 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page41 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Avoid putting a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat: A front-facing child-restraint system should only be put on the front seat when it is unavoidable. In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
Page 42 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 2-40).
Page 43: 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 52: Latch Child-Restraint Systems
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.
Page 53 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page53 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM qChild-Restraint System Installation Procedure (Rear Outboard Seats) 1. Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until it is fully locked. 2.

Page 57: Srs Air Bags
CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page57 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions The supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include up to 6 air bags (verify SRS AIRBAG location indicator marks). 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) The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags)
Page 58 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page58 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles: 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 accident, such as frontal, near frontal, side collisions or roll- over accident that are at least moderate.
Page 59 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page59 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Sit in the center of the seat and wear seat belts properly: Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them and sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dangerous. The side and curtain air bags inflate with great force and speed directly expand along the door on the side the car is hit.
Page 60 Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Mazda: Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Mazda (page 10-6) is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle's accident detections system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
Page 61 Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag systems and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the Owner's Manual, is important.
Page 62 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page62 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Supplemental Restraint System Components (12) (1) Driver seat slide position sensor (page 2-58) (2) Side and curtain inflators and air bags (3) Driver/Front passenger dual stage inflators and air bags (4) Air bag/front seat belt pretentioner system warning light (page 2-54) (5) Crash sensors and diagnostic module (SAS unit) (6) Front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light (page 2-58)
Page 63 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM How the SRS Air Bags Work Your Mazda is equipped with the following types of SRS air bags. SRS air bags are designed to work together with the seat belts to help to reduce injuries during an accident.
Page 64 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page64 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM Black plate (64,1) Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags qFront Passenger Air Bag The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger dashboard. The inflation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag, as mentioned above.
Page 65 CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page65 Monday, March 13 2006 5:5 PM qCurtain Air Bags The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides. When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
