2003 MAZDA MODEL TRIBUTE seats

Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children) attachments for child seat anchors
Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle.
When properly installed, this type of seat eliminates the need to use seat
belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether
strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor. SeeAttaching
safety seats with tether strapsin this chapter.
Your vehicle has LATCH anchors for child seat installation as shown in
the illustration. There are none in the front passenger seat.
The anchors closest to the center
rear seat are provided primarily for
child seats at the outboard seating
positions. These anchors are farther
apart than the pairs of lower
anchors for child seat installation at
the outboard seats.
While the anchors closest to the
center seat may also be usable, special precautions must be followed.
First, if those anchors are already in use by a LATCH equipped child seat
on either outboard seat,you must not attach two LATCH seats to
the same anchor pointÐ it will overload the anchor point. Either
spread the two LATCH equipped seats to the outboard positions or use
the regular lap belt on the center one (If the seat has a tether, be sure to
also attach it to the center tether anchor).
Secondly, those LATCH equipped child seatswith rigid LATCH
attachmentswill not latch in the center rear position because those two
middle anchors are too far apart. You can only attach the rigid LATCH
equipped child seats to the outboard seat LATCH anchors that have the
proper spacing for that type of child seat. If your child seat has flexible
LATCH attachments, be sure that the manufacturer's instructions say
that it can reach to anchors spaced at least 500 mm (19 in) apart.
WARNING: Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the
same anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough
to hold two child safety seat attachments and may break,
causing serious injury or death.

Roadside Emergencies

windshield, rear window or the wiper blades may be the cause. These
may include hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes, tree
sap, or other organic contamination. To clean these items, please follow
these tips:
²The windshield or rear window may be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cleaner such as Ultra Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, available from your
authorized Mazda dealer.
²Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
²Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
²Wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
windshield washer solution. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they
appear worn or do not function properly.
INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER LENS
Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
²Avoid cleaners or polish that increase the gloss of the upper portion of
the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the
driver from undesirable windshield reflection.
WARNING: Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents
when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid
contamination of the air bag system.
²Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in
contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan
lotion in order to avoid possible damage to the painted surfaces.
INTERIOR TRIM
²Clean the interior trim areas with a damp cloth, then dry by wiping
with a dry, soft, clean cloth.
²Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the
finish.
INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side
air bags:
²Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
²Remove light stains and soil with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner,
available at your authorized Mazda dealer.
Cleaning
190

²If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with
Spot and Stain Remover, available at your authorized Mazda dealer.
²Never saturate the seat covers with cleaning solution.
²Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of
the seat materials.
WARNING: Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents
when cleaning the seat where the side air bag is mounted. Such
products may contaminate the side air bag system and affect
performance of the side air bag in a collision. The air bag may
not function correctly and not provide any injury reduction
benefits.
LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the
leather.
²To clean, use a soft cloth with Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner. Dry
the area with a soft cloth.
²To help maintain its resiliency and color, use the Deluxe Leather Care
Kit, available at your authorized Mazda dealer.
²Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or
cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based
leather conditioners. These products may cause premature wearing of
the clear, protective coating.
UNDERBODY
Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and
door drain holes free from packed dirt.
