Page 31 Essential Safety Equipment 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.
Page 32 Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint Passenger seat weight sensors These sensors deactivate the passenger front and side air bags and also the passenger seat belt pretensioner system when the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates. When an infant or small child is seated on the passenger seat, the system shuts off the passenger air bag, so make sure the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates.
Page 33 Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint Refer to Passenger Seat Weight Sensors on page 2-37. Seating a child in a child-restraint system on the passenger seat is dangerous under certain conditions: This vehicle is equipped with both a passenger seat weight sensor and a passenger air bag deactivation indicator light (page 2-37).
Page 34 Always use a child-restraint system designed for use without a tether: Using a child-restraint system that requires a tether is dangerous. Your Mazda does not have a child-restraint tether. The child-restraint system cannot be properly secured. In a collision, it could move and injure other occupants as well as result in serious injuries or death to the child.
