NOTE
To check if your front seats have side
air bags:
Every Mazda side air bag will have a
“SRS AIRBAG” tag on the outboard
shoulder of the front seats.
WARNING
Front Passenger's Seat Position:
As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so if your vehicl e has side air
bags, a front-facing child-restraint
system should be put on the front seat
only when it is unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light
illuminates, always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the force
of a deploying air bag could cause
serious injury or death to the child.
Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
The child-restraint system can be hit
by a deploying air bag and moved
violently backward resulting in serious
injury or death to the child. Even
though you may feel assured that the
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, NEVER
use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air bag
that could deploy even in a moderate
collision.
WARNING
Children and Seating Position with
Side Air Bag:
Allowing anyone to lean over or
against the front door is dangerous. If
the vehicle is equipped with side air
bags, the impact of an inflating side
air bag could cause serious injury or
death to the person. Children are more
likely to sleep in the vehicle; when they
do, they are more at risk in the front
passenger's seat that has a side air bag
because they may slump over into the
path of the seatback-mounted air bag.
Furthermore, leaning over or against
the doors could block the side air bag
and eliminate the advantages of
supplemental protection. With the
front air bag and the additional side
air bag that deploys from outboard
shoulder of the front passenger seat,
the rear seat is always a better location
for children who are prone to
sleeping. If a child can't be seated in
the rear, do not allow the child to lean
over or against the side window, even
if the child is seated in a child-
restraint system.
