Page 15: Seat Belt Systems
Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the belt webbing of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide adequate protection in a collision. Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect all seat belt systems in use during an accident before they are used again.
Page 16 J76Y.book Page 8 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment Seat Belt Systems Twisted Seat Belts: Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt isn’t available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt, which could break them or cause other serious injury or death.
Page 17 J76Y.book Page 9 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment Seat Belt Systems M Emergency Locking Mode If the belt has fully retracted, it will always be in the emergency locking mode until you move it into automatic locking mode by pulling the belt all the way out to its full length. In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the occupant and the retractor will lock in position during a collision.

Page 24: Child Restraint
Child Restraint Child Restraint Precautions Mazda strongly urges the use of child-restraint systems for children small enough to use them. You are required by law to use a child-restraint system for children in the U.S. and Canada. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety of children riding in your vehicle.
Page 25 J76Y.book Page 17 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint WARNING Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System: Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are particularly dangerous. The child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air bag and moved violently backward resulting in serious injury or death to the child.
Page 26: 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 27 J76Y.book Page 19 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM 3. Push the child-restraint system firmly into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt retracts as snugly as possible. Clicking from the retractor will be heard during retraction if the system is in the automatic locking mode.

Page 32 J76Y.book Page 24 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags 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 during a frontal, side or near-frontal collision of at least moderate force.
Page 33 J76Y.book Page 25 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags WARNING Seating Position with Side Air Bags: Sitting too close to the side air bag storage compartments or placing hands on them is extremely dangerous. A side air bag inflates with great force and speed directly out of the outboard shoulder of the front seat and expands along the front door on the side the car is hit.
Page 34 • 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 35: Air Bag System Description
Gases are produced to inflate the air bags and after the inflation, the air bags quickly deflate. The air bags will function only once. After that, the air bags will not work again and must be replaced. Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can replace the systems. Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags...

Page 37 J76Y.book Page 29 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Limitations to front air bag activation Depending on the severity of impact, the front air bags may not inflate in the following cases: Impacts involving trees or poles cause severe cosmetic damage but may not have enough impact to activate the air bag.
Page 38 J76Y.book Page 30 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Side air bag activation Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle (driver or passenger side areas) will cause a side air bag to inflate, but it will not normally deploy the front air bags.

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 211 • 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 212: 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 213 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.
