NOTE



To check if your front seats have side air
bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with side air
bag will have a "SRS AIRBAG" tag on
the outboard shoulder of the front seats.



To check if your vehicle has curtain air
bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with curtain
air bag will have an "SRS AIRBAG"
marking on the window pillars along the
roof edge.

WARNING

Always move the front passenger seat as
far back as possible if installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on it is
unavoidable:

As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so because your vehicle has side air
bags, a front-facing child-restraint system
should be put on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates,
always move the seat as far back as
possible, because the force of a deploying
air bag could cause serious injury or death
to the child.

Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air bag
that could deploy:

Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the
front seat are particularly dangerous.
Even in a moderate collision, the
child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury or
death to the child. Even though you may
feel assured that the front passenger air
bag will not deploy based on the fact that
the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, you should not
use a rear-facing child-restraint system in
the front seat.

Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over
or against the side window of a vehicle
with side and curtain air bags:

It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over
or against the side window, the area of the
front passenger seat, the front and rear
window pillars and the roof edge along
both sides from which the side and curtain
air bags deploy, even if a child-restraint
system is used. The impact of inflation from
a side or curtain air bag could cause serious
injury or death to an out of position child.
Furthermore, leaning over or against the
front door could block the side and curtain
air bags and eliminate the advantages of
supplemental protection. With the front air
bag and the additional side air bag that
comes out of the front seat, the rear seat is
always a better location for children. Take
special care not to allow a child to lean
over or against the side window, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.
