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 seat.

Child Restraint 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.
Page 53 CX-7_8AS7-EA-09E_Edition2 Page53 Friday, June 5 2009 2:24 PM qChild-Restraint System Installation Procedure (Rear Outboard Seats) 1. Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until it is fully locked. 2.

Please verify the air bags equipped on your vehicle by locating the SRS AIRBAG location indicators.
Page 57 CX-7_8AS7-EA-09E_Edition2 Page57 Friday, June 5 2009 2:24 PM WARNING 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 accident, such as frontal, near frontal, side collisions or roll-over accident that are at least moderate.
Page 58 CX-7_8AS7-EA-09E_Edition2 Page58 Friday, June 5 2009 2:24 PM 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, or sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dangerous.
Page 59 Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Mazda: Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Mazda (page 10-7) is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle's accident detections system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
Page 60 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 62: How The Srs Air Bags Work
SRS Air Bags How the SRS Air Bags Work Your Mazda is equipped with the following types of SRS air bags. SRS air bags are designed to work together with the seat belts to help to reduce injuries during an accident.
Page 63 CX-7_8AS7-EA-09E_Edition2 Page63 Friday, June 5 2009 2:24 PM qFront Passenger Air Bag The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger dashboard. The inflation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag, as mentioned above.
Page 64 CX-7_8AS7-EA-09E_Edition2 Page64 Friday, June 5 2009 2:24 PM Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags qCurtain Air Bags The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides. When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
