The movement of the accelerator pedal is transmitted by the Mazda Tribute Accelerator Cable to the throttle body or accelerator-control mechanism. In this way, the driver can regulate airflow, speed, and power in the engine. Moreover, it helps the system return smoothly to idle when the driver releases the pedal. The advantages of the Accelerator Cable are direct and predictable pedal operation, durable mechanical operation, simple inspection, and relatively easy replacement. They prevent contamination, abrasion, excessive bending, and unintended movement of the cable by providing an outer protective sheath, firewall grommet, retaining clips, and strengthened attachment ends. In the first-generation Mazda Tribute of North America, a standard cable was utilized from pedal to throttle, but its length, routing, mounting points, and end fittings varied by engine. From 2001-2004, four-cylinder models applied a 2.0-liter engine, then from 2005-2006, these applied a 2.3-liter engine. Both applied cables around dimensions designed for their compact inline-engine layout. The 3.0-liter V6 models applied a longer V6-specific design, with a separate cruise-control cable positioned alongside. The 2008 Mazda Tribute was redesigned; however, application-specific mechanical arrangements were retained for some 2.3-liter and 3.0-liter versions. The Tribute Hybrid has a different Accelerator Cable because of the specific hybrid reciprocating assembly. Some late 2009-2011 models of Mazda gasoline were equipped with electronic throttle control, which replaced the direct throttle cable. These separate versions therefore differ principally in their operating method, cable length, sheath construction, mounting brackets, firewall sealing, routing, and whether the movement of the pedal directly opens the throttle or activates an electronic control.
