Seats
Seat Precautions
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 supplementary restraint system. Such modifications could damage the supplementary restraint system and result in serious injury. Consult an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 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 expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) 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 suffer serious internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
Do not recline a second-row seatback when the third-row seat is occupied:
Reclining the second-row seatback when the third-row seat is occupied is dangerous. Because the clearance in the third-row seat is limited, occupants in the third-row seat could be hurt seriously on a reclined second-row seatback.
Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Do not place objects under the seat:
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and result in an accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks 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 is 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.
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.
-
When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
-
When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
-
(Manual Seat)
When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury.
-
When inserting your hand under the seat to clean the cabin or pick up something you dropped under the seat, be careful not to hurt yourself. If you contact the moving parts of the seat rail or seat frame, it could result in injury.
-
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
-
(Power Seat)
The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation because excessive use can damage the motors.
-
To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
-
Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.
-
Front Seat
Driving Position Memory (Some Models)
The desired driving position can be called up after programming the position.

Do not place fingers or hands around the bottom of the seat while the seat memory function is operating. The seat moves automatically while the seat memory function is operating and fingers or hands could get pinched and injured.

Second-row Seat
Armrest
The armrest in the centre of the second-row seatback can be used (no occupant in the centre seat) or placed upright.
Never put your hands and fingers around the moving parts of the seat and armrest:
Putting your hands and fingers around the moving parts of the seat and armrest is dangerous as they could get injured.
-
When storing the armrest, make sure that any leads connected to the USB power outlets in the armrest box are stored away in the armrest box.
If the leads are not stored away in the armrest box, the leads and connection devices may become damaged when storing the armrest.
-
Be careful not to apply excessive force to the armrest such as by sitting on it. Otherwise, it could be deformed or damaged.
Third-row Seat Access
Third-row Seat
Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints on all outboard seats and the second-row centre seat. The head restraints are intended to help protect you and the passengers from neck injury.
Always drive with the head restraints installed when seats are being used and make sure they are properly adjusted. In addition, always raise the head restraints on Second-row centre seat when they are being used:
Driving with the head restraints adjusted too low or removed is dangerous. With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a collision.
Height Adjustment
Adjust the head restraint so that the centre is even with the top of the passenger's ears.
To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the stop-catch release, then push the head restraint down.
Front outboard seat

(With strap)
To fold the head restraint, pull the strap and fold the head restraint downward.
(With lever)
To fold the head restraint, lower the lever down.
To return the head restraint to its upright position, lift it upward.
Always drive with the head restraints in their upright positions when the third-row seats are occupied, and make sure they are securely locked in place:
Driving with the head restraints folded down is dangerous. With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a collision.
