Equipment to Protect Occupants/Pedestrians
Child-restraint Systems
NOTE
Inspect this function before each

use of the child-restraint system.
You should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor
while the system is in the
automatic locking mode. When
you remove the child-restraint
system, be sure the belt fully
retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before
occupants use the seat belts.
6. Seat your child safely in the
child-restraint system and secure
the child according to the
instructions from the child-restraint
system manufacturer.
7. Switch the ignition ON and make
sure the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light
illuminates after installing a
child-restraint system on the
passenger seat.
If the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate, remove the
child-restraint system, switch the
ignition to OFF, and then re-install
the child-restraint system (page
3-15).

WARNING
Do not seat a child in a child-restraint
system on the passenger seat if the
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light does not illuminate
(Except Mexico).
Seating a child in a child-restraint
system installed on the passenger seat
with the passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light not illuminated is
dangerous. If this indicator light does
not illuminate, this means that the
passenger front and side air bags, and
seat belt pretensioner are ready for
deployment. If an accident were to
deploy an air bag, a child in a
child-restraint system sitting in the
passenger seat could be seriously
injured or killed. If the indicator light
does not illuminate after seating a
child in a child-restraint system on the
passenger seat consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
