qIf You Must Use the Front Seat

for Children

If you cannot put all children in the rear
seat, at least put the smallest children in
the rear and be sure the largest child up
front uses the shoulder belt over the
shoulder.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat, even
with a seat weight sensor equipped
vehicle.
This seat is also not set up for tethered
child-restraint systems, put them in one of
the rear seat positions set up with tether
anchors.
Likewise the LATCH child-restraint
system cannot be secured in the front
passenger's seat and should be used in the
rear seat.
Don't allow anyone to sleep against the
side window if you have an optional side
and curtain air bag, it could cause serious
injuries to an out of position occupant. As
children more often sleep in cars, it is
better to put them in the rear seat. If
installing the child-restraint system on the
front seat is unavoidable, follow these
instructions when using a front-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat.
NOTE
To check if your front seats have side air
l
bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with side air bag
will have a "SRS AIRBAG" tag on the
outboard shoulder of the front seats.
To check if your vehicle has curtain air
l
bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with curtain air
bag will have an "SRS AIRBAG" marking
on the window pillars along the roof edge.
