J07L_8Q42-EA-01F.book Page 2 Tuesday, March 5, 2002 3:14 PM Essential Safety Equipment Seats Seats WARNING Securing the Seats: Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing injury.
Page 11 J07L_8Q42-EA-01F.book Page 3 Tuesday, March 5, 2002 3:14 PM M Seat Recline WARNING Reclining: Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you don’t get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious internal injuries.
Page 12: Seat Belt Systems
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury during accidents and sudden stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and all passengers always wear seat belts. All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/shoulder belts out of the way when not in use.
Page 13 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 14 J07L_8Q42-EA-01F.book Page 6 Tuesday, March 5, 2002 3:14 PM Essential Safety Equipment Seat Belt Systems M Pregnant Women and Persons with Serious Medical Conditions Pregnant women should wear seat belts. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS. Persons with serious medical conditions also should wear seat belts.

In a sudden stop or a collision it could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants.
Page 23 WARNING Child-Restraint Tether: Using a child-restraint system that requires a tether is dangerous. Your Mazda doesn’t have a child-restraint tether. The child-restraint system cannot be properly secured. In a collision, it could move and cause serious injury or even death to the child or someone else.
