Seating And Safety Restraints; Seating - Mazda Tribute Owner's Manual

FRONT SEATS
WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to
slide under the seat's seat belt, resulting in severe personal
injuries in the event of a collision.
WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.
WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original
position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An
unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
WARNING: Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are
locked in place:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are
dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could
move, causing injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat
are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and
backward and locking the seatback.
Adjustable head restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with front row outboard head restraints that are
vertically adjustable.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in
and/or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its
proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint
while the vehicle is in motion.
