Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
Form No. 8R09-EA-02G
Child-Restraint Tether:
Using a child-restraint system that requires a tether is dangerous. Your Mazda doesn’t
have a child-restraint tether. The child-restraint system cannot be properly secured. In
a collision, it could move and cause serious injury or even death to the child or
someone else. Always use a child-restraint system designed for use without a tether.
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child
touches them.
NOTE
Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of specially
designed LATCH child-restraint systems in the passenger’s seat. When using these
anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to "LATCH Child-Restraint Systems"
(page 2-18).
