Essential Safety Equipment; Child Restraint; Do not seat a child in a child-restraint- Page 58

7. Seat your child safely in the

child-restraint system and secure the
child according to the instructions
from the child-restraint system
manufacturer.

8. Switch the ignition ON and make sure

the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates after
installing a child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate, remove the child-restraint
system, switch the ignition to OFF, and
then re-install the child-restraint
system (page 2-67).

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 2-67). 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 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.
