NOTE
l
To check if your front seats have side
air bags:
Every Mazda side air bag will have a
“
SRS AIRBAG
”
tag on the outboard
shoulder of the front seats.
l
To check if your vehicle has curtain
air bags:
Every Mazda curtain air bag will
have an
“
SRS AIRBAG
”
marking on
the front and rear window pillars
along the roof edge.
WARNING
Front Passenger's Seat Position:
As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so if your vehicle has side air
bags, a front-facing child-restraint
system should be put on the front seat
only when it is unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light
illuminates, always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the force
of a deploying air bag could cause
serious injury or death to the child.
WARNING
Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
The child-restraint system can be hit
by a deploying air bag and moved
violently backward resulting in serious
injury or death to the child. Even
though you may feel assured that the
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, NEVER
use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air bag
that could deploy even in a moderate
collision.
