Using the ISOFIX Lower
Anchor (Mexico)/LATCH
Lower Anchor (Except
Mexico)
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH
*1
lower anchors for attachment
of specially designed ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
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
*1
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.

LATCH Lower Anchor
(Except Mexico)
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
*1
lower anchor.
Attaching two child-restraint systems
to the same ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
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
*1
position is occupied, use the
center seat belts instead, and the
tether if tether-equipped.
