Child-restraint Systems
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 outgrown
child-restraint systems 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.
To reduce the chance of injuries
caused by deployment of the
passenger air bag, the passenger
occupant
classification
sensor work as
a part of the supplemental restraint
system. This system deactivates the
passenger front and side air bags and
also the passenger seat belt
pretensioner system when the
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates.
When an infant or small child sits on
the passenger seat, the system shuts off
the passenger front and side air bags
and seat belt pretensioner system, so
make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
For more details, refer to "How to Use
the Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System" (page 3-15).
