Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Seats
WARNING
Never allow children to adjust a seat.
Allowing children to adjust a seat is
dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child's hands or feet become
caught in the seat.
Do not drive with the seatback
unlocked.
All of the seatbacks play an important
role in your protection in a vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is
dangerous as it can allow passengers
to be ejected or thrown around and
baggage to strike occupants in a
sudden stop or collision, resulting in
severe injury. After adjusting the
seatback at any time, even when there
are no other passengers, rock the
seatback to make sure it is locked in
place.
Do not modify or replace the seats.
Modifying or replacing the seats such
as replacing the upholstery or
loosening any bolts is dangerous. The
seats contain air bag components
essential to the supplemental restraint
system. Such modifications could
damage the supplemental restraint
system and result in serious injury.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if
there is any need to remove or reinstall
the seats.

Equipment to Protect Occupants/Pedestrians
Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is
stopped.
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle
is being driven, the seating posture
may become unstable and the seat
could move unexpectedly resulting in
injury.
Do not drive with damaged seats.
Driving with damaged seats, such as
seat cushions torn or damaged down
to the urethane, is dangerous. A
collision, even one not strong enough
to inflate the air bags, could damage
the seats which contain essential air
bag components. If there was a
subsequent collision, an air bag may
not deploy which could lead to
injuries. Always have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer inspect the seats, seat
belt pretensioners and air bags after a
collision.
Do not drive with either seats
reclined.
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous because
you do not 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.
For maximum protection, sit well back
and upright.
Do not place an object such as a
cushion between the seatback and
your back.
Putting an object such as a cushion
between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable
to maintain a safe driving posture and
the seat belt cannot function at its full
capacity in a collision, which could
result in a serious accident, injury or
death.
