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 rear-facing child-restraint system should NEVER be used on the passenger seat with the

air bag system activated.

If a small child or infant in the passenger seat ― particularly a child secured in a rear-

facing child-restraint system ― it is critically important that you consciously deactivate the

passenger air bag and not simply rely on the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light

being turned on at all times. 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 SURE THE PASSENGER

AIR BAG IS ALWAYS DEACTIVATED AS INDICATED BY PASSENGER AIR BAG

DEACTIVATION INDICATOR LIGHT.
