Child Restraint

WARNING

Do not seat a child in a child-restraint 

system on the passenger seat if the 

passenger air bag deactivation 

indicator light does not illuminate (With 

Passenger Occupant Classification 

System):

Seating a child in a child-restraint 

system installed on the passenger 

seat with the passenger air bag 

deactivation indicator light not 

illuminated is dangerous. If this 

indicator light does not illuminate, 

this means that the passenger front

bag, a child in a child-restraint system 

sitting in the passenger seat could 

be seriously injured or killed. If the

system on the passenger seat consult 

an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon 

as possible.
