## NHTSA's summary

A very limited number of Tribute Hybrid vehicles were produced during the 2008\-2010 MY. These special vehicles were sold ONLY in the state of California by Dealers who chose to be "Mazda Certified Hybrid" dealers. At the time of launch, their technicians received specialized training to safely perform service and maintenance on these vehicles. With the discontuation of the Tribute Hybrid, Mazda did not require these dealers to continue to be Mazda Certified Hybrid dealers, therefore all repairs or maintenance on Tribute Hybrid vehicles must be sublet to a Ford Certified Hybrid dealer. IMPORTANT: ALL REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE ON TRIBUTE HYBRID VEHICLES MUST BE SUBLET TO A FORD CERTIFIED HYBRID DEALER. TRIBUTE HYBRID VEHICLE INFORMATION For easy identification all hybrid vehicles will be equipped with the following: "Hybrid" nameplate "Green Leaf Globe" badge on tailgate. "Green Leaf Globe" badge on both front fenders. Unique left rear quarter glass with traction battery air intake \(2008\-2009 MY only\). MAZDA BADGE REMOVED FROM LIFTGATE \(starting 2010 MY\). TRIBUTE HYBRID WARRANTY REPAIR INFORMATION ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS ON TRIBUTE HYBRID VEHICLES MUST BE SUBLET TO A FORD CERTIFIED HYBRID DEALER.
