Combination Lap And Shoulder Belts - Mazda Tribute Owner's Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
WARNING: Placing a child, 12 years or younger, in the front
seat is dangerous. The child could be hit by a deploying airbag
and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is more likely
to lean against the door and be hit by the side airbag (if equipped) in a
moderate collision. Whenever possible, always secure a child, 12 years
or younger, in the rear seat, with an appropriate child restraint system
for the child's age and size. Never use a rear-facing child restraint
system in the front seat with an airbag that could deploy.
WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant
women, should wear seat belts for optimum protection in an
accident.

1. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle
closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from) until
you hear a snap and feel it
latch. Make sure the tongue is
securely fastened in the buckle.
2. To unfasten, press the release
button and remove the tongue
from the buckle.
Load Limiter Feature
• This vehicle has a seat belt system with a load limiter feature at the
front and rear outboard seating positions to help further reduce the
risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
