Mazda MX-6 Brochure - Safety Features, Air Bag SRS & TTL Rear Suspension

This is a page from a Mazda MX-6 sales brochure focused on safety and chassis engineering. It describes the standard dual air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for driver and front passenger, explaining that sensors detect severe frontal impacts and trigger instantaneous air bag inflation, backed by a "fail-safe" backup power circuit. It cautions that 3-point safety belts must be worn for the air bags to be fully effective and that a rear-facing child restraint should never be used in the front passenger seat. A cutaway photograph of a red MX-6 coupe reveals the front and rear suspension, and accompanying text explains Mazda's patented Twin Trapezoidal Link (TTL) rear suspension, which keeps the rear wheels in optimum alignment during acceleration, cornering, and braking. Another passage explains that the computer-designed body structure provides high rigidity for better suspension performance, reduced vibration and interior noise, and incorporates energy-absorbing crumple zones. A "Safety Features" sidebar lists standard and optional equipment: dual SRS air bags, optional ABS, side-impact door beams, three-point belts, energy-absorbing steering column and instrument panel, laminated windshield, integrated head restraints, center high-mount stop lamp, crumple zones, dual-circuit brakes, optional 4-wheel disc brakes, breakaway rearview mirror, halogen headlights, side marker lamps/reflectors, and automatic transmission shift interlock.
