Seat Precautions

WARNING

Make sure the adjustable components

of a seat are locked in place:

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 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.

Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is

stopped:

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.

Do not modify or replace the front

seats:

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 modi

fi

cations 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.

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 in

fl

ate 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.
