Seat Belt Extender

If your seat belt is not long enough, even 

when fully extended, a seat belt extender 

may be available to you at no charge from 

your Authorized Mazda Dealer.

This extender will be only for you and for 

the particular vehicle and seat. Even if it 

plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold 

in the critical moment of a crash.

When ordering an extender, only order 

one that provides the necessary additional 

length to fasten the seat belt properly. 

Please contact your Authorized Mazda 

Dealer for more information.

WARNING

Do not use a seat belt extender unless it 

is necessary:

Using a seat belt extender when not 

necessary is dangerous. The seat belt 

will be too long and not fit properly. 

In an accident, the seat belt will not 

provide adequate protection and you 

could be seriously injured. Only use the 

extender when it is required to fasten 

the seat belt properly.

Do not use an improper extender:

Using a seat belt extender that is for 

another person or a different vehicle 

or seat is dangerous. The seat belt will 

not provide adequate protection and 

the user could be seriously injured in 

an accident. Only use the extender 

provided for you and for the particular 

vehicle and seat. NEVER use the 

extender in a different vehicle or seat. 

If you sell your Mazda, do not leave 

your seat belt extender in the vehicle. It 

could be used accidentally by the new 

owner of the vehicle. After removing 

the seat belt extender, discard it. Never 

use the seat belt extender in any other 

vehicle you may own in the future.

Do not use an extender that is too long:

Using an extender that is too long is 

dangerous. The seat belt will not fit 

properly. In an accident, the seat belt 

will not provide adequate protection 

and you could be seriously injured. 

Do not use the extender or choose 

one shorter in length if the distance 

between the extender's buckle and the 

center of the user's body is less than 15 

cm (6 in).
