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 UNECE
*1
44 regulation. If you would like to purchase a Mazda genuine child-restraint
system, please contact an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for speci
fi c requirements regarding the safety
of children riding in your vehicle.
*1 UNECE stands for United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
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 con
fi rm 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 in
fl ation. Do not switch off the front passenger air bag without reading the “Front
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch” (page 2-47 ).
