Essential Safety Equipment

Seats

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.

Seat Precautions

▼

WARNING

Do not modify or replace the front

seats:

Make sure the adjustable components

of a seat are locked in place:

Modifying or replacing the front seats

such as replacing the upholstery or

loosening any bolts is dangerous. The

front 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 front seats.

Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are

not securely locked are dangerous. In a

sudden stop or collision, the seat or

seatback could move, causing injury.

Make sure the adjustable components

of the seat are locked in place by

attempting to slide the seat forward

and backward and rocking the

seatback.

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 damaged front

seats:

Driving with damaged front 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 front 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 front seats,

front seat belt pretensioners and air

bags after a collision.

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 drive with either front 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.

Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is

stopped:

Essential Safety Equipment

Seats

Do not place an object such as a

cushion between the seatback and

your back:

Driving with a passenger on the folded

seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child

to sit up on the folded seatback while

the vehicle is moving is particularly

dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a

minor collision, a child not in a proper

seat or child-restraint system and seat

belt could be thrown forward, back or

even out of the vehicle resulting in

serious injuries or death. The child in

the baggage area could be thrown into

other occupants and cause serious

injury.

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.

Do not place objects under the seat:

The object could get stuck and cause

the seat to not be ﬁxed securely, and

result in an accident.

CAUTION

When operating a seat, be careful

not to put your hands or ﬁngers near

the moving parts of the seat or on

the side trim to prevent injury.

When moving the seats, make sure

there is no cargo in the surrounding

area. If the cargo gets caught it could

damage the cargo.

Do not stack cargo higher than the

seatbacks:

Stacking luggage or other cargo higher

than the seatbacks is dangerous.

During sudden braking or a collision,

objects can ﬂy around and become

projectiles that may hit and injure

passengers.

(Manual Seat)

When moving the seats forward and

rearward or returning a rear-reclined

seatback to its upright position,

make sure you hold onto the

seatback with your hand while

operating. If the seatback is not held,

the seat will move suddenly and

could cause injury.

When inserting your hand under the

seat to clean the cabin or pick up

something you dropped under the

seat, be careful not to hurt yourself.

If you contact the moving parts and

surrounding parts around the seat

rail, seat frame, and the bottom of

the seat, it could result in injury.

Make sure luggage and cargo is

secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving is

dangerous as it could move or be

crushed during sudden braking or a

collision and cause injury.

Never allow a passenger to sit or

stand on the folded seatback while

the vehicle is moving:

and armrest:

Putting your hands and ﬁngers around

the moving parts of the seat and

armrest is dangerous as they could get

injured.

Your vehicle is equipped with head

restraints on all outboard seats and the

rear center seat. The head restraints are

intended to help protect you and the

passengers from neck injury.

WARNING

Always drive with the head restraints

installed when seats are being used

and make sure they are properly

adjusted:

Driving with the head restraints

adjusted too low or removed is

dangerous. With no support behind

your head, your neck could be

seriously injured in a collision.

be compromised which could cause it

to unexpectedly detach from the seat.

CAUTION

When installing a head restraint,

make sure that it is installed correctly

with the front of the head restraint

facing forward. If the head restraint is

installed incorrectly, it could detach

from the seat during a collision and

result in injury.

The head restraints on each of the

front and rear seats are specialized to

each seat. Do not switch around the

head restraint positions. If a head

restraint is not installed to its correct

seat position, the eﬀectiveness of the

head restraint during a collision will

be compromised which could cause

injury.
