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.

CAUTION:
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.

Seat Slide

To slide the seat, move the slide lifter switch on the outside of the seat to the front or back and hold it. Release the switch at the desired position.

Seat 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 front 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.

Change the seatback angle by pressing the front or rear side of the reclining switch.

Release the switch at the desired position.

Height Adjustment (Driver's Seat)

The seat height can be adjusted by moving the switch up or down.

Seat Position Memory (Driver's Seat)

One-touch seat position programming and activation is available on the driver's seat.

CAUTION:
When activating the seat position, do not place your hands or fingers around the seat bottom. The seat moves to the desired position automatically, and if your hands or fingers are placed around the seat bottom, it could cause injury.

Programming of the driver's seat positions is possible using the following functions: - Programming buttons 1, 2, or 3 and the set button.
