WARNING

Do not seat a child in a child-restraint

system on the front passenger seat if

the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light does not

illuminate:

While it is always better to install any

child-restraint system on the rear seat,

it is imperative that a child-restraint

system 

ONLY

 be used on the front

passenger seat if the deactivation

indicator light illuminates when the

child is seated in the child-restraint

system (page 2-71). Seating a child in

a child-restraint system installed on the

front passenger seat with the front

passenger air bag deactivation

indicator light not illuminated is

dangerous. If this indicator light does

not illuminate, this means that the

front passenger front and side air bags,

and knee air bags, and seat belt

pretensioners are ready for

deployment. If an accident were to

deploy an air bag, a child in a

child-restraint system sitting in the

front passenger seat could be seriously

injured or killed. If the indicator light

does not illuminate after seating a

child in a child-restraint system on the

front passenger seat, seat a child in a

child-restraint system on the rear seat

and consult an Authorized Mazda

Dealer as soon as possible.
