Make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat. WARNING Seating a Child in a Child-Restraint System on the Front Passenger Seat With the Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Indicator Light Not Illuminated: Seating a child in a child-restraint system installed on the front passenger seat with the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light not illuminated is dangerous. If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate even when the total seated weight is less than approximately 30 kg (66 lb), this means that the front passenger front and side air bags, and seat belt pretensioner are ready for deployment. If an accident were to deploy an air bag, a child sitting in the front passenger seat could be seriously injured or killed. If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does illuminate after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. While it is always better to install any childrestraint system on the rear seat, it is essential to do so if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate.
