Children and airbags
For additional important safety information, read all information on
safety restraints in this guide.
WARNING:
Do not install a
child seat in a center facing
jump seat.
WARNING:
Airbags can kill
or injure a child in a child
seat. NEVER place a rear-facing
child seat in front of an active
airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the
front seat, move the seat all the
way back.
WARNING:
Front seating positions only: If seating two adults
and a child, Mazda recommends properly restraining the child in
the center front seating position, but only if doing so will not interfere
with driving the vehicle. This arrangement provides lap and shoulder
belt and airbag protection for adult occupants and an attachment
method for a child restraint. If the child seat interferes with driving the
vehicle and the child restraint is forward-facing, the child may be
restrained in the passenger seat. Move the seat as far rearward as
possible to minimize the likelihood of interaction with the front
passenger airbag. Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. Always properly restrain all occupants, including the
child in an appropriate child seat or booster.
WARNING:
Installing a child safety seat in the front row lap
seating position should be avoided if at all possible.
WARNING:
Never place a rear-facing child seat in the front
center seating position of a vehicle with rear seating positions.
