Essential Safety Equipment

Child-Restraint

  Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time:

  Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used 
in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could 
be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more 
than one person at a time and always operate the vehicle with each occupant properly 
restrained.

CAUTION

  A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during warm 
weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child touches 
them.

   NOTE

  Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of specially designed 
LATCH child-restraint systems in the rear seats. When using these anchors to secure a 
child-restraint system, refer to "Using LATCH Lower Anchor" (page  2-37 ).
