Mazda recommends that the driver and passenger aways wear seat bets. A of the seat bet retractors are designed to keep the ap/shouder bets out of the way when not in use. The driver's seat bet has no provisions for chid-restraint systems and has ony an emergency ocking mode. The driver may wear it comfortaby, and it wi ock during a coision. However, the passenger's seat ap/shouder bet retractors operate in two modes: emergency ocking mode, and for chid-restraint systems, automatic ocking mode. WARNING Not Wearing Seat Bets: Not wearing a seat bet is extremey dangerous. During a coision, occupants not wearing seat bets coud hit someone or things inside the vehice or even be thrown out of the vehice. They coud be seriousy injured or even kied. In the same coision, occupants wearing seat bets woud be much safer. Aways wear your seat bet and make sure a occupants are propery restrained. Seat Bet Damaged During an Accident: Using a damaged seat bet is dangerous. An accident coud damage the bet webbing of the seat bet in use. A damaged seat bet cannot provide adequate protection in a coision.

Have an Authorized Mazda Deaer inspect a seat bet systems in use during an accident before they are used again. Twisted Seat Bets: Twisted seat bets are dangerous. In a coision, the fu width of the bet isn't avaiabe to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the bet, which coud cause serious injury or death. Don't wear twisted seat bets. One Bet, One Passenger: Using one seat bet for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat bet used in this way can't spread the impact forces propery and the two passengers coud be crushed together and seriousy injured or even kied. Never use one bet for more than one person at a time. 2-4

They are ocated in: The steering whee hub (driver air bag) The passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag) The air bag suppementa restraint systems are designed to provide suppementa protection ony in the front seats in certain situations, so seat bets are aways important in the foowing ways: Without seat bet usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident. Seat bet usage is necessary to: Keep the occupant from being thrown into an infating air bag. Reduce the possibiity of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag infation, such as ro-over or rear impact. Reduce the possibiity of injuries in fronta coisions that are not severe enough to activate the air bags. Reduce the possibiity of being thrown from your vehice. Reduce the possibiity of injuries to ower body and egs during an accident because the air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body. Hod the driver in a position which aows better contro of the vehice. Chidren shoud be protected by a chid-restraint system. Laws vary on the size a chid must be to use a chid-restraint system (page 2-13). We have provided a deactivation switch that wi disabe passenger air bag infation.

Aone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be expected to infate ony in coisions with fronta or near fronta forces that are at east moderate. Vehice occupants shoud aways wear seat bets. Rear-Facing Chid-Restraint System: When a rear-facing chid-restraint system is instaed on the passenger's seat and the passenger air bag deactivation switch is not in the OFF position, it is extremey dangerous. In an accident, the air bag coud infate and cause serious injuries or even death to the chid in the rear-facing chid-restraint system. When using a rear-facing chid-restraint system, aways set the passenger air bag deactivation switch to OFF position. Seating Position with Air Bags: Sitting too cose to the air bag modues or pacing hands or feet on them is extremey dangerous. Air bags infate with great force and speed. Serious injuries coud occur if someone is too cose. The driver shoud aways hod onto ony the rim of the steering whee. The passenger shoud keep both feet on the foor. Seat occupants shoud adjust their seats as far back as possibe and aways sit upright against the seatbacks with seat bets worn propery. Air Bag Modues: Attaching an object to the air bag modues or pacing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, the object coud interfere with air bag infation and injure the occupants. Aways keep the air bag modues free of objects. Hot Air Bag Infators: Hot air bag infators are dangerous. Immediatey after infation, the infators in the steering whee or the dashboard are very hot.
