The front seats have lap/shoulder belts. These belts have retractors with inertia locks that
keep them out of the way when not in use. The locks allow the belts to remain comfortable
on users, but they’ll lock in position during a collision.
(5-passenger model)
The rear seats have lap/shoulder belts. These belt retractors operate in two modes,
emergency locking mode and, for child-restraint systems, automatic locking mode.
(7-passenger model)
The second-row seat has lap/shoulder belts with retractors, and a manual adjustable lap
belt. The second-row seat lap/shoulder belt retractors operate in two modes, emergency
locking mode and, for child-restraint systems, automatic locking mode. The lap belt is
manually adjusted.
The third-row seat has lap/shoulder belts that have retractors with inertia locks.
WARNING
Not Wearing Seat Belts:
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous. During a collision, occupants not
wearing seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle or even be thrown
out of the vehicle. They could be seriously injured or even killed. In the same
collision, occupants wearing seat belts would be much safer. Always wear your seat
belt and make sure all occupants are properly restrained.
2-36
WARNING
Twisted Seat Belts:
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt isn’t
available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt,
which could break them or cause other serious injury or death. Don’t wear twisted
seat belts.

Child Restraint
Mazda recommends use of a Mazda genuine child-restraint system or one that complies
with European regulations (ECE R44). If you would like to purchase a Mazda genuine
child-restraint system, please contact an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety
of children riding in your vehicle.
Whatever child-restraint system you consider, please pick the appropriate one for the age
and size of the child, obey the law and follow the instructions that come with the individual
child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown child-restraint systems should sit in the rear and use seat belts.
Statistics confirm that the rear seat is the best place for all children up to 12 years of age-
the more so with a supplementary restraint system (air bags).
A rear-facing child-restraint system should NEVER be used in the front seat because it
would be too close to the air bag. The front passenger’s seat is also the least preferred seat
for other child-restraint systems.
WARNING
Proper Size of Child-Restraint System:
For effective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending on age and
size. If not, the child could be seriously injured or even killed in an accident.
Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions and Always Keep the Child-Restraint System
Buckled Down:
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Make sure
the child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the child-restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or
fasten it with a seat belt, or latch it down to BOTH ISOFIX bars.
2-49
Child Restraint
WARNING
Holding a Child While the Vehicle is Moving:
Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No
matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden
stop or collision and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the child may be exposed to air bag forces
that could result in serious injury or death to the child, or the child may be slammed
into the adult, injuring the adult. Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint
system.
If your vehicle is equipped with a passenger air bag, a warning label as shown below
is attached. The warning label reminds you not to put a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger’s seat at any time.
2-50
Child Restraint
WARNING
Children and Seating Position with Side Air Bag:
Allowing anyone to lean over or against the front door is dangerous. If the vehicle is
equipped with side air bags, the impact of an inflating side air bag could cause serious
injury or death to the person. Children are more likely to sleep in the vehicle; when
they do, they are more at risk in the front passenger’s seat that has a side air bag
because they may slump over into the path of the seatback-mounted air bag.
Furthermore, leaning over or against the doors could block the side air bag and
eliminate the advantages of supplementary protection. With the front air bag and the
additional side air bag that comes out of the front seat, the rear seat is always a better
location for children who are prone to sleeping. If a child can’t be seated in the rear,
do not allow the child to lean over or against the front door, even if the child is seated
in a child-restraint system.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child
touches them.
NOTE
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX bars for attachment of Mazda genuine child-
restraint systems in the rear (or second-row) outboard seats. When using these bars to
secure a child-restraint system, refer to "ISOFIX Bar-Secured Child-Restraint Systems"
(page 2-62).

The front and side supplementary restraint systems (SRS) include 4 air bags (verify "SRS
AIR BAG" location indicator marks).
They are located in:
The air bag supplementary restraint systems are designed to provide only supplementary
protection only in the front seats in a few modes, so seat belts become important in the
following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:
• Keep the passenger away from an inflating air bag.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag
inflation, such as roll-over or rear impact.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal or side collisions that are not severe enough
to activate the air bags.
• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts.
• Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.
A child who is too small to use a seat belt must be properly secured using a child-restraint
system (page 2-49).
2-66
Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your child and follow the
installation directions in this Owner’s Manual as well as the child-restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Air Bags without Seat Belts:
Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous.
Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be
expected to inflate only in collisions with frontal, near frontal or side forces that are at
least moderate. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.
2-67
WARNING
Seating Position with Side Air Bags:
Sitting too close to the side air bag storage compartments or placing hands on them is
extremely dangerous. A side air bag inflates with great force and speed directly out of
the outboard shoulder of the front seat and expands along the front door on the side
the car is hit.
Serious injury could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning
against a window in the front seats or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front
seatbacks. Furthermore, sleeping up against the door or hanging out the driver’s-side
window while driving could block the side air bag and eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. Give the side airbags room to work by sitting in the centre
of the seat while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
2-68
WARNING
Suspension Adjustment:
Adjusting the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the suspension
is changed, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision resulting in
incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the side air bag wiring, don’t place luggage or other objects under
the front seats.
NOTE
• When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation noise can be heard and some smoke will be
released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags may
cause light skin injuries on body parts not covered with clothing through friction.
• Should you sell your Mazda, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag systems
and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the Owner’s Manual, is
important.

Fuel with a lower rating could cause the emission control system to lose effectiveness. It
could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
Your Mazda will perform best with fuel listed in the table.
CAUTION
• USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter or the oxygen sensor. The lead will
accumulate on the oxygen sensor and the catalyst inside the converter. This will result
in a malfunction of the emission control system, causing poor performance.
• Never add fuel system additives. Never add cleaning agents other than those specified
by Mazda. Other cleaning agents and additives may damage the system. Consult an
Authorised Mazda Dealer.

WARNING
Parking Over Things That Burn:
Parking over or near anything inflammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous. Even
with the engine turned off, the exhaust system could ignite it because the exhaust
system gets very hot during normal use. A resulting fire could cause serious injury or
death. Never park over or near anything inflammable.
CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst inside
the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either condition will damage the
converter and cause poor performance.
• USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
• Don’t drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
• Don’t coast with the ignition switch turned off.
• Don’t descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switch turned off.
• Don’t operate the engine at high idle for more than 5 minutes.
• Don’t tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and adjustments must
be made by a qualified technician.
• Don’t try to push-start or pull-start your vehicle.

▼ Weight Limits
The total trailer weight, gross combined weight and trailer nose weight must be
within the prescribed limits in the Trailer Towing-Load Table.
4-13
Towing
WARNING
Tow Loads:
Attempting to tow loads greater than those specified is dangerous as it may cause
serious handling and performance problems that could result in personal injury or
vehicle damage, or both. Always keep tow loads within specified limits in the Trailer
Towing-Load Table.
Trailer Loading:
Loading the trailer with more weight in the rear than in the front is dangerous. This
could cause loss of vehicle control and an accident. Always keep the trailer nose
weight within the specified limits in the Trailer Towing-Load Table.
NOTE
The total trailer weight and nose weight can be determined by weighing the trailer on
platform scales at a highway weighing station or a trucking company to prevent the
danger of trailer sway from crosswinds, rough roads, or other causes.
4-14
Towing
▼ Trailer Hitch
When towing a trailer, use a genuine Mazda trailer hitch. Bolt holes for securing the trailer
hitch must be drilled. Contact your Authorised Mazda Dealer for more information.

▼ Tyres
When towing a trailer, make sure all tyres are inflated to the recommended cold-tyre
pressure, as indicated on the tyre pressure chart on the driver’s door. Trailer tyre size, load
rating, and inflation pressures should conform to tyre manufacturer specifications.
WARNING
Using a Temporary Spare Tyre when Towing:
Using a temporary spare tyre on your vehicle when towing a trailer is dangerous as it
could result in tyre failure, loss of control, and injury to vehicle occupants. Never use
a temporary spare when towing.
4-15
Towing
▼ Safety Chains
Safety chains must be used as a precautionary measure should the trailer become
unintentionally unhitched. They should cross under the trailer tongue and attach to the
hitch. Leave enough slack to allow full turns. Consult literature published by your trailer or
hitch manufacturer for more details.
WARNING
Towing Without Safety Chain:
Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and
the vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the
trailer could wander into another lane and cause a collision. Make sure the safety
chain is securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle prior to departure.
▼ Trailer Lights
CAUTION
Don’t connect a trailer lighting system directly to the lighting system of your Mazda.
This may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and lighting systems. To connect the
lighting system, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
▼ Trailer Brakes
If the total trailer weight exceeds *1400kg (882lb), *2500kg (1,102lb) trailer brakes are
required.
WARNING
Hydraulic Trailer-Brake System:
Connecting a hydraulic trailer-brake system directly to the vehicle brake system is
dangerous and will result in inadequate braking and possible injury. Don’t connect a
hydraulic trailer-brake system to your vehicle’s brake system.
4-16
Towing
CAUTION
If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph) with a trailer in tow, the vehicle could be
damaged.
• When ascending a hill, shift into a lower gear to reduce the possibility of overloading or
overheating the engine, or both.
• When descending a hill, shift into a lower gear and use engine compression as a braking
effect. Pay constant attention to speed and use the brakes only as needed. Holding the
brake pedal down for a prolonged period may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
power.
4-17
Towing
The downward load on the tow ball must not exceed 10 % of the total load in tow.
When the total towed weight exceeds 600 kg (1,322 lb), use a Mazda approved load
levelling device in combination with an appropriate tow bar to accommodate a tow ball
down load of up to 10 % of the maximum towing load limit.
▼ Towing Instructions
Your Mazda is designed primarily as a passenger vehicle; handling, durability, and
economy may be affected by towing.
Always use correct equipment and make sure it fits.
Your Authorised Mazda Dealer will supply and properly install the towing equipment you
need.
Follow these instructions to make your towing as safe and efficient as possible.
• Use only a Mazda-approved tow bar.
Don’t use a bumper hitch.
• Never exceed recommended load limits.
• Before towing, inflate all tyres to the maximum recommended pressures.
You’ll find these pressures on the edge of the driver’s door.
• When on a hill, always use a lower gear, whether your transaxle is manual or automatic.
This helps maintain speed. It also prevents engine and transaxle overloading on
upgrades and reduces the need for braking on downgrades.
• Always allow a greater stopping distance than normal to prevent excessive braking, and
avoid sudden stops that could cause loss of control.
• Frequently inspect oil and fluid levels.
• Because of the extra stress on your Mazda from towing, more frequent maintenance
than usual is necessary.
4-18
Towing
• Break in your new Mazda and have it serviced at 1,000 km (600 miles) before using it
for towing. If you must tow before this, don’t exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Your Mazda’s behavior changes while towing. Get accustomed to these changes over a
short and safe trial distance before starting a long trip.
• Headlights may need re-aiming after a towed vehicle has been attached, especially if a
load equalizing hitch is not used.
• The airflow to the radiator must not be restricted in any way.
• Make sure the towed vehicle complies with all local regulations, especially in regard to
lighting, mirrors, and safety chains. The tow bar should not obscure the rear license
plate.
• Whenever you remove the tow bar, seal all mounting holes in the underbody to prevent
the entry of exhaust fumes, dust, and water.

Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or damage to your vehicle
when using this manual for inspection and maintenance.
If you’re unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge you to have a reliable
and qualified service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for your vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made especially for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insufficient servicing may result in problems. This
could lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
The owner should retain evidence that proper maintenance has been performed as
prescribed.
A claim against a warranty will not qualify if it results from lack of maintenance and not
from defective material or authorised Mazda workmanship.

Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel economy and cold-weather
operation (starting and oil flow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can provide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.
But high-temperature weather conditions require higher-viscosity engine oils for
satisfactory lubrication.
When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehicle will operate in before
the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity from this chart above.
CAUTION
Using oils of viscosity besides those recommended for specific temperature ranges
could result in engine damage.
