Mazda 2005 Tribute Automobile User Manual


 
Reasons given... Consider...
ЉCrashes are rare eventsЉ 36,700 crashes occur every day.
The more we drive, the more we are
exposed to ЉrareЉ events, even for
good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will be
seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.
ЉIm not going farЉ 3of4fatal crashes occur within 25
miles of home.
ЉBelts are uncomfortableЉ Safety belts are designed to enhance
comfort. If you are uncomfortable -
try different positions for the safety
belt upper anchorage and seatback
which should be as upright as
possible; this can improve comfort.
ЉI was in a hurryЉ Prime time for an accident. Safety
Belt Warning Chime reminds us to
take a few seconds to buckle up.
ЉSeat belts dont workЉ Safety belts, when used properly,
reduce risk of death to front seat
occupants by 45% in cars, and by
60% in light trucks.
ЉTraffic is lightЉ Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes, many when
no other vehicles are around.
ЉBelts wrinkle my clothesЉ Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
ЉThe people Im with dont
wear beltsЉ
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with
TWO or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
