Mazda 6 2006 Owner's Manual page 37

Front Passenger Seat Position:
A front-facing child-restraint system should only be put on the front seat when it is
unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
Seating Children in a Child-Restraint System on the Front Passenger Seat:
If your vehicle is equipped with front passenger seat weight sensors, the vehicle is also
equipped with an air bag deactivation indicator light (page 2-32). Even with the front
passenger seat weight sensors, if you must use the front passenger seat for children,
seating a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat under the
following conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air bag deploying
and could result in serious injury or death to the child.
The total seated weight of the child with the child-restraint system on the front
l
passenger seat is approximately 30 kg (66 lb) or more with a child in the child-
restraint system.
Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint
l
system.
A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback.
l
A rear passenger puts their feet on the front seat rails.
l
Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint.
l
The seat is washed.
l
Liquids are spilled on the seat.
l
The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items
l
placed behind it.
The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.
l
Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.
l
Any accessories which might increase the total seated weight on the front passenger
l
seat are attached to the front passenger seat.
The designated positions with seat belts on the rear seats are the safest places for
children. Always use seat belts and child restraints.
