Lowering The Seatbacks (Rear) - Mazda 6 Owner's Manual

Essential Safety Equipment
Seats
WARNING
When transporting cargo, do not allow
the cargo to exceed the height of the
seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher
than the seatbacks is dangerous
as visibility to the rear and sides of
the vehicle is reduced which could
interfere with driving operations and
lead to an accident.
After installing a rear-facing baby seat
or child restraint system, do not operate
the remote handle on the back of the
seat (Wagon).
Operating the remote handle on a seat
with a rear-facing baby seat or child
restraint installed on it is dangerous
because the seatback will fold down
suddenly which could lead to an
accident. Remove the baby seat or child
restraint before operating the remote
handle.
When operating the remote handle, be
careful to check that occupants are not
seated on the rear seat or items are not
left on the armrest (Wagon).
Operating a remote handle without
checking occupants or items is
dangerous because the seatback folds
down suddenly which could cause an
accident.
2–12
CAUTION
(Wagon)
When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with your
hand. If it is not supported by a hand,
ngers or the hand pressing the push
knob could be injured.
NOTE
(Wagon)
When operating the remote handle,
always heed the following precautions.
The speed at which the seatback
folds down while the vehicle is on a
down slope increases.
The seatback may not fold down
while the vehicle is on an up slope.
If the seatback does not fold down
when using the remote handle, fold it
down using your hand.
Lowering the seatbacks
CAUTION
Check the position of a front seat before
folding a rear seatback.
Depending on the position of a front
seat, it may not be possible to fold a
rear seatback all the way down because
it may hit the seatback of the front seat
which could scratch or damage the front
seat or its pocket. Lower or remove the
head restraint on the rear outboard seat
if necessary.
