Pulling the seat belt all the way out will switch it to automatic locking mode. If automatic locking mode is not needed, retract the seat belt fully to convert it back to emergency locking mode. Seat Belt Extender If your seat belt is not long enough, even when fully extended, a seat belt extender may be available to you at no charge from your Authorized Mazda Dealer. This extender will be only for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. Even if it plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold in the critical moment of a crash. When ordering an extender, only order one that provides the necessary additional length to fasten the seat belt properly. Please contact your Authorized Mazda Dealer for more information. qRe-attaching the Seat Belt after the Middle Row Seatbacks are Returned to their Upright Positions To re-attach the center seat belt after the middle row seats are returned to their upright positions, grasp the seat belt tongue (A) and insert it into the seat belt anchor buckle (B) until you hear a click sound. It is now secure for passenger use. NOTE After returning the left-rear seatback to its upright position, guide the shoulder portion of the belt correctly through the seat belt guide and fasten the lap portion of the belt. 2-31 Form No.8AU2-EA-09G
