Child Restraint Precautions
Mazda strongly urges the use of child-restraint systems for children small enough to use
them.
You are required by law to use a child-restraint system for children in the U.S. and Canada.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety
of children riding in your vehicle.
Whatever child-restraint system you consider, please pick the appropriate one for the age
and size of the child, obey the law and follow the instructions that come with the individual
child-restraint system.
A child who has outgr own child-restraint syst ems should use seat belts, both lap and
shoulder. If the shoulder belt crosses the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of
the vehicle.
A child-restraint system should NEVER be used on the passenger seat with the air bag
system activated.
In a collision, the force of an air bag slamming the child-restraint system rearwards could
result in death to the child even if the child is properly belted. Be alert to the operation of
the indicator light and BE SUR E THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ALWAYS
DEACTIVATED AS INDICATED BY PASSEN GER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION
INDICATOR LIGHT.
