Black plate (43,1)
NOTE
l
To encourage rear seat passengers to wear
their seat belts, we suggest leaving the
center-rear lap position of the belt fastened
at all times except when folding the rear
seat forward.
l
Pulling the seat belt all the way out will
switch it to automatic locking mode. If
automatic locking mode is not needed,
retract the seat belt fully to convert it back
to emergency locking mode.
q
Re-attaching the Seat Belt after the
Middle Row Seatbacks are
Returned to their Upright Positions
To re-attach the center seat belt after the
middle row seats are returned to their
upright positions, grasp the seat belt
tongue (A) and insert it into the seat belt
anchor buckle (B) until you hear a click
sound. It is now secure for passenger use.
NOTE
After returning the left-rear seatback to its
upright position, guide the shoulder portion of
the belt correctly through the seat belt guide
and fasten the lap portion of the belt.
Seat Belt Extender
If your seat belt is not long enough, even
when fully extended, a seat belt extender
may be available to you at no charge from
your Authorized Mazda Dealer.
This extender will be only for you and for
the particular vehicle and seat. Even if it
plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold
in the critical moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order
one that provides the necessary additional
length to fasten the seat belt properly.
Please contact your Authorized Mazda
Dealer for more information.
