Child-Restraint Precautions
Mazda strongly urges the use of
child-restraint systems for children
small enough to use them.
Mazda recommends use of a Mazda
genuine child-restraint system or one
that complies with the UNR
*1
44 or
UNR 129 regulation. If you would like
to purchase a Mazda genuine
child-restraint system, please contact
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding the safety of
children riding in your vehicle.
*
1 UNR stands for United Nations
Regulation.
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 outgrown
child-restraint systems should sit in the
rear and use seat belts.
The child-restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat.
Statistics confirm that the rear seat is
the best place for all children up to 12
years of age-the more so with a
supplementary restraint system (air
bags).
A rear-facing child-restraint system
should NEVER be used in the front
passenger seat with the air bag system
activated. The front passenger's seat is
also the least preferred seat for other
child-restraint systems.
For some models, we have provided a
deactivation switch that will disable
front passenger air bag inflation. Do
not switch o the front passenger air
bag without reading the “Front
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch”
(page 2-54).
WARNING
Use the correct size child-restraint
system:
For eective protection in vehicle
accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained using a
seat belt or child-restraint system
depending on age and size. If not, the
child could be seriously injured or even
killed in an accident.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and always keep the
child-restraint system buckled down:
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 any
child-restraint system is properly
secured in place according to the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions. When not in use, remove
it from the vehicle or fasten it with a
seat belt, or latch it down to BOTH
ISOFIX anchors, and attach the
corresponding tether anchor.
