ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES

All this, and an added sense of security. Safety is our priority on every Mazda Tribute.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)* reduces torque and automatically applies one or more brakes to minimize under or oversteer.
Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) helps improve safety and fuel efficiency.
Roll Stability Control (RSC) monitors both body roll rate and wheel speed to initiate corrective action when necessary.
Traction Control System (TCS) helps restore traction in hazardous road conditions.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist boost braking power when an emergency situation is detected.

* Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is an electronic system to help the driver maintain control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether DSC will be effective in preventing loss of control. Please see the Owner's Manual for further details.
