LATCH Child-Restraint Systems

Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of specially designed

LATCH child-restraint systems in the rear seat. Both anchors must be used, otherwise the

seat will bounce around and put the child in danger. Most LATCH child-restraint systems

must also be used in conjunction with a tether to be effective. If they have a tether you

must use it to better assure your child's safety.

WARNING

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of the child-restraint system:

An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it

could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Make sure

the child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the child-restraint

system manufacturer's instructions.

Never attach two child-restraint syst ems to the same LATCH lower anchor:

Attaching two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower anchor is dangerous.

In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child-restraint system

attachments, and it may break, causing serious injury or death. If you use the seat

position for another child-restraint system when an outboard LATCH position is

occupied, use the center seat belts instead, and the tether if tether-equipped.

Make sure the child-restraint system is properly secured:

An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it

could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Follow the

child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions on belt routing to secure the seat

just as you would with a child in it so that nobody is tempted to put a child in an

improperly secured seat later on. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten

it with a seat belt, or latch it down to BOTH LATCH lower anchors for LATCH child-

restraint systems.

Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or around the LATCH child-

restraint system:

Not following the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions when installing

the child-restraint system is dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign object prevent the

child-restraint system from being securely attached to the LATCH lower anchors and

the child-restraint system is installed improperly, the child-restraint system could move

in a sudden stop or collision causing serious injury or death to the child or other

occupants. When installing the child-restraint system, make sure there are no seat

belts or foreign objects near or around the LATCH lower anchors. Always follow the

child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions.
