Front Seats (Manually
Operated Seats)

WARNING

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
modifications 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 is
dangerous. A collision, even one not
strong enough to inflate 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.

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.

Adjust the driver's seat only when the
vehicle is stopped:

Adjusting the driver's seat while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous. The
driver could lose control of the vehicle
and have an accident.

CAUTION

Be careful not to place your hands
and fingers around moving parts of
the front seat when adjusting the
seat positions to prevent injury.

qSeat Slide

To move a seat forward or backward, raise
the lever and slide the seat to the desired
position and release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original
position and the seat is locked in place by
attempting to push it forward and
backward.

qSeat Recline

WARNING

Do not drive with either front seat
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
suffer serious internal injuries. For
maximum protection, sit well back
and upright.

Always sit in the passenger seat
properly with the seatback upright and
feet on the floor:

Your front passenger seat has weight
sensors, sitting in the front passenger
seat improperly out of position or
with the seatback reclined too far
while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous as it can take off weight
from the seat bottom and affect the
weight determination of the front
passenger sensing system. As a result
the front passenger will not have the
supplementary protection of the air
bag and seat belt pretensioner, which
could result in serious injury. Always
sit upright against the seatback with
your feet on the floor.

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.

To change the seatback angle, lean
forward slightly while raising the lever.
Then lean back to the desired position and
release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original
position and the seatback is locked in
place by attempting to push it forward and
backward.

Rear Seat

WARNING

Do not stack cargo higher than the
seatbacks:

Stacking luggage or other cargo
higher than the seatbacks, and
placing articles on the rear seat is
dangerous. During sudden braking
or a collision, objects can fly around
and become projectiles that may hit
and injure passengers.

Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.

Make sure the adjustable components
of a seat are locked in place:

Adjustable seats that are not securely
locked are dangerous. In a sudden
stop or collision, the seat or seatback
could move, causing injury.

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 returning the seatback at any
time, even when there are no other
passengers, rock the seatback to
make sure it is locked in place.

Never allow a passenger to sit or stand
on the folded seatback while the
vehicle is moving:

Driving with a passenger on the
folded seatback is dangerous.
Allowing a child to sit up on the
folded seatback while the vehicle is
moving is particularly dangerous. In
a sudden stop or even a minor
collision, a child not in a proper seat
or child-restraint system and seat
belt could be thrown forward, back
or even out of the vehicle resulting in
serious injuries or death. The child in
the baggage area could be thrown
into other occupants and cause
serious injury.

CAUTION

Be careful not to place your hands
and fingers around moving parts of
the rear seat when adjusting the seat
positions to prevent injury.

NOTE

When returning a rear seat to its original
position, also replace the seat belt to its
normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls
out and retracts.

qSplit-Folding Rear Seatback

The seatbacks can be folded down to
provide more space in the luggage
compartment.

To fold down the seatbacks

WARNING

Always remove the child-restraint
system from the rear seat before
operating the remote handle levers for
the rear seat:

Operating (pulling) the remote
handle levers while a rear-facing
child-restraint system is in the rear
seat is dangerous. It could cause
injury to a child seated in the child-
restraint system when the seatback
suddenly flips forward.

Make sure there is nobody in the rear
seat area before operating (pulling) the
remote handle levers:

Not checking the rear seat area for
persons before folding the seatbacks
down with the remote handle levers
is dangerous. The rear seat area is
difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the
remote handle levers without
checking could cause injury to a
person when a seatback suddenly
flips forward.

CAUTION

Before folding the seatbacks down
with the remote handle levers, make
sure there is no cup in a rear cup
holder. Folding the seatbacks with
the remote handle levers while a cup
is in the cup holder could soil or
damage the seat bottom and
seatback.

When using the remote handle levers:

CAUTION

Be careful of the following when
using the remote handle levers:

Ø On a downward slope, the

seatback could flip forward faster
than on a flat surface.

Ø On an upward slope, the seatback

may not fold down. When the
seatbacks cannot be folded down
with levers, pull the rear seatback
forward from inside the vehicle.

1. Unfasten the lap portion of the center-

rear seat belt (page 2-23).

CAUTION

Always unfasten the lap portion of
the belt before folding left-rear
seatback. Leaving the lap portion of
the belt fastened could cause
damage to the seat belt, buckle and
seatback.

2. After checking that the rear seats are

clear, open the liftgate compartment
and pull the remote handle levers on
the left and right sides of the liftgate
compartment.

When using the rear seatback knobs:

CAUTION

When operating the rear seatback
knob, make sure you support the
seatback with your hand. If the
seatback is not supported with your
hand, it will flip forward suddenly
and could cause injury to the finger
that pushes the rear seatback knob
down.

1. Unfasten the lap portion of the center-

rear seat belt (page 2-23).

CAUTION

Always unfasten the lap portion of
the belt before folding the rear-left
seatback. Leaving the lap portion of
the belt fastened could cause

2. Support the seatback with your hand.

3. Push the rear seatback knob down.

To return the seatbacks to the upright
position

1. Lift the seatbacks upright.

2. Pull on the top of the seatbacks from

inside the vehicle to make sure they are

3. Fasten the center-rear lap/shoulder belt

and check that all seat belts are routed
properly for passenger use (page 2-23).

WARNING

Always make sure the seat belts are
fully pulled out from under the
seatbacks:

A seat belt caught under a seatback
after the seatback is returned to its
upright position is dangerous. In a
collision or sudden stop, the seat belt
cannot provide adequate protection.

When returning the seatback to the
upright position, make sure there is no
red indication:

A rear seatback not fully returned
and locked in the upright position is
dangerous. Sudden stops or
maneuvering could cause a seatback
to flip forward suddenly resulting in
injury. If the red indicator is visible on
the back of the rear seatback knob,
the seatback is not locked in the
upright position.
