Child Restraint
Form No. 8S06-EA-03H
Seating a Child in a Child-Restraint
System on the Front Passenger Seat
With the Front Passenger Air Bag
Deactivation Indicator Light Not
Illuminated:
Seating a child in a child-restraint
system installed on the front
passenger seat with the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light not illuminated is
dangerous. If the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate even when the total
seated weight is less than
approximately 30 kg (66 lb), this
means that the front passenger front
and side air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner are ready for
deployment. If an accident were to
deploy an air bag, a child sitting in
the front passenger seat could be
seriously injured or killed. If the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light does not illuminate
after installing a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat,
install the child-restraint system on
the rear seat and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible. While it is always better to
install any child-restraint system on
the rear seat, it is essential to do so if
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate. For further details, refer
to "Front passenger seat weight
sensors (page 2-63)".
