Installing Child-Restraint

Systems

Accident statistics reveal that a child is
safer in the rear seat. The front passenger's
seat is clearly the worst choice for any
child under 12, and with rear-facing
child-restraint systems it is clearly unsafe
due to air bags.

NOTE

Even if your vehicle is equipped with front
passenger occupant classification sensor
(page 2-71), which automatically
deactivates the front passenger air bag, a
rear seat is the safest place for a child of
any age or size.

Some child-restraint systems now come
with tethers and therefore must be
installed on the seats that take tethers to be
effective. In your Mazda, tethered
child-restraint systems can only be
accommodated in the three positions on
the rear seat.

Some child-restraint systems also employ
specially designed ISOFIX/LATCH

attachments; refer to "Using ISOFIX
Lower Anchor (Mexico)/Using LATCH
Lower Anchor (Except Mexico)" (page
2-52).

1 ISOFIX (Mexico)/LATCH (Except

Mexico)

WARNING

Tethered Child-Restraint Systems Work
Only on Tether-Equipped Rear Seats:

Installation of a tether equipped
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat defeats the safety design
of the system and will result in an increased
chance of serious injury if the
child-restraint system goes forward
without benefit of being tethered.
Place tether equipped child-restraint
systems where there are tether anchors.

▼

Anchor Bracket

Anchor brackets for securing
child-restraint systems are equipped in the
vehicle. Locate each anchor position using
the illustration.
To install a child-restraint system, remove
the head restraint. Always follow the
instruction manual accompanying the
child-restraint system.

WARNING

Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:

Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect
tether anchor position is dangerous. In a
collision, the tether strap could come off
and loosen the child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could result
in death or injury to the child.

Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system:

Installing a child-restraint system without
removing the head restraint is dangerous.
The child-restraint system cannot be
installed correctly which may result in
death or injury to the child in a collision.

Driving with the head restraint removed is
dangerous as impact to the occupant's
head cannot be prevented during
emergency braking or in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or
death.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-20.

▼

Using Automatic Locking Mode
(Except Mexico)

Follow these instructions when using a
child-restraint system, unless you are
attaching a LATCH-equipped
child-restraint system to the rear LATCH
lower anchors. Refer to “Using LATCH
Lower Anchor” (page 2-52).

NOTE

Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully. If
you are not sure whether you have a
LATCH system or tether, check in the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions and follow them accordingly.
Depending on the type of child-restraint
system, it may use LATCH system instead
of seat belts or if the belt goes across the
child's chest, may recommend against
using automatic locking mode.

1. If the rear seat is reclined, return it to

the upright position.

2. Make sure the seatback is securely

latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.

3. Remove the head restraint. However,

when installing a backless booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint
to the seat where the backless booster
seat is installed.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-20.

4. Secure the child-restraint system with

the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt.
See the manufacturer's instructions on
the child-restraint system for belt
routing instructions.

5. To get the retractor into the automatic

locking mode, pull the shoulder belt
portion of the seat belt until the entire
length of the belt is out of the retractor.

6. Push the child-restraint system firmly

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt
retracts as snugly as possible. A
clicking noise from the retractor will
be heard during retraction if the system
is in the automatic locking mode. If the
belt does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat this step.

NOTE



Inspect this function before each use
of the child-restraint system. You
should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor
while the system is in the automatic
locking mode. When you remove the
child-restraint system, be sure the
belt fully retracts to return the
system to emergency locking mode
before occupants use the seat belts.

7. If your child-restraint system requires

the use of a tether strap, refer to the
manufacturer's instructions to hook
and tighten the tether strap.

WARNING

Use the tether and tether anchor only for a
child-restraint system:

Using the tether or tether anchor to secure
anything but a child-restraint system is
dangerous. This could weaken or damage
the tether or tether anchor and result in
injury.

If You Must Use the Front Seat for
Children

If you cannot put all children in the rear
seat, at least put the smallest children in
the rear and be sure the largest child up
front uses the shoulder belt over the
shoulder.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat whether
your vehicle is equipped with an occupant
classification sensor or not.
This seat is also not set up for tethered
child-restraint systems, put them in one of
the rear seat positions set up with tether
anchors.
Likewise the ISOFIX/LATCH

child-restraint system cannot be secured in
the front passenger's seat and should be
used in the rear seat.
Do not allow anyone to sleep against the
side window since your vehicle has side
and curtain air bags, it could cause serious
injuries to an out of position occupant. As
children more often sleep in cars, it is
better to put them in the rear seat. If
installing the child-restraint system on the
front seat is unavoidable, follow these
instructions when using a front-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat.

Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

2-48

NOTE



To check if your front seats have side air
bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with side air
bag will have a "SRS AIRBAG" tag on
the outboard shoulder of the front seats.



To check if your vehicle has curtain air
bags:
Mazda vehicles equipped with curtain
air bag will have an "SRS AIRBAG"
marking on the window pillars along the
roof edge.

WARNING

Always move the front passenger seat as
far back as possible if installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on it is
unavoidable:

As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so because your vehicle has side air
bags, a front-facing child-restraint system
should be put on the front passenger 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.

Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air bag
that could deploy:

Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the
front seat are particularly dangerous.

Even in a moderate collision, 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, you should not
use a rear-facing child-restraint system in
the front seat.

Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over
to or against the side window of a vehicle
with side and curtain air bags:

It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean
over to or against the side window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the front
and rear window pillars and the roof edge
along both sides from which the side and
curtain air bags deploy, even if a
child-restraint system is used. The impact
of inflation from a side or curtain air bag
could cause serious injury or death to an
out of position child. Furthermore, leaning
over to or against the door could block the
side and curtain air bags and eliminate the
advantages of supplemental protection.
Because the front seats are equipped with
front air bags, the rear seat is always a
better location for children. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over to or
against the side window, even if the child is
seated in a child-restraint system.

Front Passenger's Seat Child-Restraint
System Installation (With Front
Passenger Occupant Classification
System)

1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Slide the seat as far back as possible.

3. Remove the head restraint. However,

when installing a backless booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint
to the seat where the backless booster
seat is installed.

4. Place the child-restraint system on the

seat without putting your weight on the
seat and fasten the seat belt. See the
manufacturer's instructions on the
child-restraint system for belt routing
instructions.

5. To get the retractor into the automatic

locking mode, pull the shoulder belt
portion of the seat belt until the entire
length of the belt is out of the retractor.

6. Push the child-restraint system firmly

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt
retracts as snugly as possible. A
clicking noise from the retractor will
be heard during retraction if the system
is in automatic locking mode. If the
belt does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat the previous step and also this
one.

NOTE



Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
Depending on the type of
child-restraint system, it may not
employ seat belts which are in
automatic locking mode.

7. Seat your child safely in the

child-restraint system and secure the
child according to the instructions

Essential Safety Equipment

2-50

from the child-restraint system
manufacturer.

8. Switch the ignition ON and make sure

the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates after
installing a child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate, remove the child-restraint
system, switch the ignition to OFF, and
then re-install the child-restraint
system (page 2-71).

WARNING

Do not seat a child in a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat if the
front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light does not illuminate:

While it is always better to install any
child-restraint system on the rear seat, it is
imperative that a child-restraint system

ONLY

be used on the front passenger seat if

the deactivation indicator light illuminates
when the child is seated in the
child-restraint system (page 2-71). Seating
a child in a child-restraint system installed
on the front passenger seat with the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light not illuminated is dangerous. If this
indicator light does not illuminate, this
means that the front passenger front and
side air bags, and seat belt pretensioners
are ready for deployment. If an accident
were to deploy an air bag, a child in a
child-restraint system sitting in the front
passenger seat could be seriously injured or
killed. If the indicator light does not
illuminate after seating a child in a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat, seat a child in a
child-restraint system on the rear seat and
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.

Using ISOFIX Lower Anchor (Mexico)/Using LATCH Lower Anchor (Except
Mexico)

Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH

lower anchors for attachment of specially

designed ISOFIX/LATCH

child-restraint systems in the rear seats. Both anchors must be

used, otherwise the seat will bounce around and put the child in danger. Most ISOFIX/
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 systems to the same ISOFIX/LATCH

lower anchor:

Attaching two child-restraint systems to the same ISOFIX/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 ISOFIX/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 attach it to BOTH
ISOFIX/LATCH

lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH

child-restraint systems.

Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

2-52

Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or around the ISOFIX/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 ISOFIX/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 ISOFIX/LATCH

lower anchors. Always follow the child-restraint system

manufacturer's instructions.

1 ISOFIX (Mexico)/LATCH (Except Mexico)

Installation on rear outboard seats

1. First, adjust the front seat to allow

clearance between the child-restraint
system and the front seat.
Refer to Adjusting the Driver's Seat on
page 2-5.
Refer to Adjusting the Front
Passenger's Seat on page 2-13.

2. If the rear seat is reclined, return it to

the upright position.

3. Make sure the seatback is securely

latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.

4. Expand the open seams on the rear of

the seat bottom slightly to verify the
locations of the ISOFIX/LATCH

lower anchors.

5. Remove the head restraint. However,

when installing a backless booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint
to the seat where the backless booster
seat is installed.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-20.

6. Secure the child-restraint system using

BOTH ISOFIX/LATCH

lower

anchors, following the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instruction. Pull
on the child-restraint to be sure both
anchors are engaged.

7. If your child-restraint system came

equipped with a tether, that means it is
very important to properly secure the
tether for child safety. Please carefully
follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing tethers.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions

The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include different types of air bags.

Please verify the different types of air bags which are equipped on your vehicle by
locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators.

These indicators are visible in the area

where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:



The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)



The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)



The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags)



The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags)

Vehicles with the Front Passenger Occupant Classification System have a sensor which
detects an impending roll-over accident.

The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide supplemental protection
in certain situations so seat belts are always important in the following ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:



Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.



Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag
inflation, such as rear impact.



Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions or roll-over
accidents that are not severe enough to activate the air bags.



Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.



Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.

Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

2-56



Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.

If your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger occupant classification system,
refer to the Front Passenger Occupant Classification System (page 2-71) for details.

If your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification system, the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates for a specified time after the
ignition is switched ON.

Small children must be protected by a child-restraint system as stipulated by law in every
state and province. In certain states and provinces, larger children must use a child-restraint
system (page 2-35).

Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your child and follow the
installation directions in this Owner's Manual as well as the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.
