Even if the front passenger air bag is shut off, Mazda strongly recommends that children be properly restrained and child-restraint systems of all kinds are properly secured on the rear seats which are the best place for children.
Page 37 Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint WARNING Proper Size of Child-Restraint System: For effective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending on age and size. If not, the child could be seriously injured or even killed in an accident. Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions and Always Keep the Child-Restraint System Buckled Down: An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous.
Page 38 Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint WARNING 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.
Page 39 To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child touches them.

Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be expected to inflate only in the first collision with frontal, near frontal or side forces that are at least moderate.
Page 52 Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags WARNING Seating Position with Side and Curtain Air Bags: Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them is extremely dangerous. The side air bags inflate with great force and speed directly out of the outboard side of the front seat and expand along the front door on the side the car is hit.

The front air bags will function only once. After that, the front air bags will not work again and must be replaced. Only an Authorized Mazda Dealer can replace the system components. The front, dual stage air bags control air bag inflation in two energy stages. During an impact of moderate severity the front air bags deploy with lesser energy, whereas during more severe impacts, they deploy with more energy.
Page 59 Essential Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Front passenger seat weight sensors The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light is also equipped (page 2-33). These sensors are located under both of the front passenger seat rails. These sensors determine the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
