Front Seats

Modification of the Front Seats:
Removing and reinstalling the front 
seats for modification purposes is 
dangerous. The front seats contain 
air bag components or essential to the 
supplemental restraint system. Such 
modification could damage the 
supplemental restraint system and 
result in serious injury. Consult an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer if there is 
any need to remove or reinstall the 
front seats.

Damaged Front Seats:
Driving with damaged front seats is 
dangerous. A collision, even one not 
strong enough to inflate the air bags, 
could damage the front seats which 
contain essential air bag components. 
If there was a subsequent collision, 
the air bag may not deploy and which 
could lead to injuries. Always have an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect the 
front seats after a collision.
(Manually operated seats) 

Securing the Seats:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that 
are not securely locked are 
dangerous. In a sudden stop or 
collision, the seat or seatback could 
move, causing injury. Make sure the 
adjustable components of the seat are 
locked in place by attempting to slide 
the seat forward and backward and 
rocking the seatback.

WARNING

•

The seat-bottom power adjustment 
is operated by motors. Avoid 
extended operation because 
excessive use can damage the 
motors.

•

To prevent the battery from running 
down, avoid using the power 
adjustment when the engine is 
stopped. The adjuster uses a great 
amount of electric power.

•

Don

’

t use the switch to make more 

than one adjustment at a time.

Driver’s Seat Adjustment:
Adjusting the driver’s seat while the 
vehicle is moving is dangerous. The 
driver could lose control of the vehicle 
and have an accident. Adjust the 
driver’s seat only when the vehicle is 
stopped.
