Page 43: Child Restraint
J16L_EA.book Page 35 Friday, February 22, 2002 11:34 AM 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.
Page 44 J16L_EA.book Page 36 Friday, February 22, 2002 11:34 AM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint Holding a Child While the Vehicle is Moving: Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden stop or collision and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other occupants.
Page 45 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 2-44).
Page 46: 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 seats.
Page 47 J16L_EA.book Page 39 Friday, February 22, 2002 11:34 AM 3. 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. 4.

Page 49 J16L_EA.book Page 41 Friday, February 22, 2002 11:34 AM WARNING Child-Restraint Tether Usage: Using the tether to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous.

Page 56 J16L_EA.book Page 48 Friday, February 22, 2002 11:34 AM 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 57 J16L_EA.book Page 49 Friday, February 22, 2002 11:34 AM 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.
