Seat Precautions
WARNING
Make sure the adjustable components of a
seat are locked in place:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are
not securely locked are dangerous. In a
sudden stop or collision, the seat or
seatback could move, causing injury. Make
sure the adjustable components of the seat
are locked in place by attempting to slide
the seat forward and backward and
rocking the seatback.
Never allow children to adjust a seat:
Allowing children to adjust a seat is
dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child's hands or feet become
caught in the seat.
Do not drive with the seatback unlocked:
All of the seatbacks play an important role
in your protection in a vehicle. Leaving the
seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can
allow passengers to be ejected or thrown
around and baggage to strike occupants in
a sudden stop or collision, resulting in
severe injury. After adjusting the seatback
at any time, even when there are no other
passengers, rock the seatback to make sure
it is locked in place.
Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is
stopped:
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is
being driven, the seating posture may
become unstable and the seat could move
unexpectedly resulting in injury.
Do not modify or replace the front seats:
Modifying or replacing the front seats such
as replacing the upholstery or loosening
any bolts is dangerous. The front seats
contain air bag components essential to
the supplemental restraint system. Such
modications could damage the
supplemental restraint system and result in
serious injury. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer if there is any need to
remove or reinstall the front seats.
Do not drive with damaged front seats:
Driving with damaged front seats, such as
seat cushions torn or damaged down to
the urethane, is dangerous. A collision,
even one not strong enough to
inate
the
air bags, could damage the front seats
which contain essential air bag
components. If there was a subsequent
collision, an air bag may not deploy which
could lead to injuries. Always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect the front
seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air
bags after a collision.
Do not drive with either front seats
reclined:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous because you
do not get the full protection from seat
belts. During sudden braking or a collision,
you can slide under the lap belt and
suer
serious internal injuries. For maximum
protection, sit well back and upright.
