Page 37: 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 38 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page37 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM 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 39 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page38 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it is unavoidable: In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
Page 40 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 2-35).
Page 41: 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 42 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page41 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM 1. Secure the child-restraint system with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. See the manufacturer's instructions on the child-restraint system for belt routing instructions. 2. 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.
Page 43 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page42 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint WARNING Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system: Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury.
Page 44 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page43 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM WARNING Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system: Child-restraint system anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly installed child- restraint systems.Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM 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.

In a collision the tether strap could slide off the head restraint and loosen the child-restraint system.
Page 51 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page50 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint 2.

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)
Page 54 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page53 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM 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 collision with frontal, near frontal or side forces that are at least moderate.
Page 55 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page54 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags 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 is extremely dangerous.
Page 56 It also includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system components or wiring. An Authorized Mazda Dealer can provide the special care needed in the removal and installation of front seats.
Page 57 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 61: 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.
Page 62 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page61 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM Front passenger seat weight sensors Your vehicle is also equipped with the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light (page 2-33). These sensors are located under both of the front passenger seat rails. These sensors determine the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
Page 63 ON position and does not illuminate as indicated in the above chart, do not allow a child to sit in the front passenger seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The system may not work properly in an accident.
Page 64 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page63 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:43 AM Do not increase the total seated weight on the front passenger seat: When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, increasing the total seated weight on the front passenger seat from the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg (66 lb) is dangerous.
Page 65 If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Driver and front passenger buckle switches The buckle switches on the front seat belts detect whether or not the front seat belts are securely fastened and further control the deployment of the air bags.

Page 294: Appearance Care
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 295 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 296: 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 297 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.
Page 298 Mazdaspeed6_8V77-EA-06F_Edition1 Page297 Tuesday, May 9 2006 10:45 AM CAUTION Don't use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome- plated or anodized aluminum parts. This may result in damage to the protective coating and cause discoloration or paint deterioration.
