Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Form No. 8T02-EA-03L

One Belt, One Passenger:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used 
in this way can

’

t 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.

Child-Restraint Tether:
Using a child-restraint system that requires a tether is dangerous. Your Mazda doesn

’

t 

have a child-restraint tether. The child-restraint system cannot be properly secured. In 
a collision, it could move and cause serious injury or even death to the child or 
someone else. Always use a child-restraint system designed for use without a tether.

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 behind the passenger seat. When using these 
anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to "LATCH Child-Restraint Systems" 
(page 2-18).
