Before Driving

Towing

WARNING

Always keep tow loads within speci

¿ ed limits as indicated in the Trailer Towing-Load

Table:
Attempting to tow loads greater than those speci

¿ ed is dangerous as it may cause

serious handling and performance problems that could result in personal injury or
vehicle damage, or both.
Always keep the trailer nose weight within the speci

¿ ed limits in the Trailer Towing-

Load Table:
Loading the trailer with more weight in the rear than in the front is dangerous. This
could cause loss of vehicle control and an accident.

NOTE

The total trailer weight and nose weight can be determined by weighing the trailer on

platform scales at a highway weighing station or a trucking company.

Appropriate total trailer weight and nose weight may prevent the danger of trailer sway

from crosswinds, rough roads, or other causes.

3–61

Before Driving

Towing

Trailer Hitch

When towing a trailer, use an appropriate trailer hitch. We recommend using a genuine
Mazda trailer hitch. Use the original holes drilled by the vehicle manufacture for securing
the trailer hitch. Contact your Authorised Mazda Dealer for more information.

Tyres

When towing a trailer, make sure all tyres are in

À ated to the recommended cold-tyre

pressure, as indicated on the tyre pressure chart on the driver's door frame. Trailer tyre size,
load rating, and in

À ation pressures should conform to tyre manufacturer speci¿ cations.

WARNING

Never use the temporary spare tyre when towing:
Using the temporary spare tyre on your vehicle when towing a trailer is dangerous as it
could result in tyre failure, loss of control, and injury to vehicle occupants.

3–62

Before Driving

Towing

Safety Chains

Safety chains must be used as a precautionary measure should the trailer become
unintentionally unhitched. They should cross under the trailer tongue and attach to the hitch.
Leave enough slack to allow full turns. Consult literature published by your trailer or hitch
manufacturer for more details.

WARNING

Make sure the safety chain is securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle prior
to departure:
Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and
the vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the trailer
could wander into another lane and cause a collision.

Trailer Lights

CAUTION

Do not connect a trailer lighting system directly to the lighting system of your Mazda.
This may damage your vehicle's electrical system and lighting systems. To connect the
lighting system, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer.

Trailer Brakes

Check the Maximum trailer towing-load table in Weight Limits (page 3-56 ), and if your
trailer weight exceeds the value in the TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT (Trailer without brake),
trailer brakes are required.
If your trailer has brakes, make sure they meet regulations.

WARNING

Do not connect a hydraulic trailer-brake system to your vehicle's brake system:
Connecting a hydraulic trailer-brake system directly to the vehicle brake system is
dangerous and will result in inadequate braking and possible injury.

Trailer Towing Tips

Before driving

Verify that your Mazda maintains a near-normal attitude when a loaded or unloaded trailer

is connected. Do not drive if it has an abnormal front-up or front-down position. Inspect
for incorrect nose weight, worn suspension parts, and trailer overloading. Have the vehicle
inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Make sure the trailer cargo is secure to prevent it from shifting.

Make sure the mirrors meet all government regulations. Inspect them.

Before starting out, inspect the operation of all vehicle and trailer lights and all vehicle-

to-trailer connections. Stop and re-inspect all lights and connections after driving a short
distance.

Driving

Your Mazda will handle differently with a trailer in tow, so practice turning, backing, and

stopping in a traf

¿ c-free area.

Take time to get accustomed to the extra weight and length.

Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) with a trailer in tow. If the local legal maximum speed

with a trailer in tow is less than 100 km/h (62 mph), do not exceed the legal speed.

CAUTION

If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph) with a trailer in tow, the vehicle could be
damaged.

When ascending a hill, shift into a lower gear to reduce the possibility of overloading or

overheating the engine, or both.

When descending a hill, shift into a lower gear and use engine compression as a braking

effect. Pay constant attention to speed and use the brakes only as needed. Holding the
brake pedal down for a prolonged period may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
power.

3–64

Before Driving

Towing

Parking

Avoid parking on an incline with a trailer. If this must be done, follow these instructions.

Parking on an Incline

1. Set the parking brake and the brakes.
2. Have someone block the wheels of the vehicle and trailer while you apply the brakes.
3. After the wheels are blocked, release the parking brake and the brakes slowly, allowing

the blocks to bear the load.

4. Set the parking brake

¿ rmly.

5. If the vehicle has an automatic transaxle, put the selector lever in P. If it has a manual

transaxle, place the gear shift in 1 or R.

Starting on an Incline

1. Start the engine (page 4-5 ).
2. Release the parking brake and slowly pull away a short distance from the wheel blocks.
3. Stop on the nearest level ground, set the parking brake, and pick up the wheel blocks.

Ignition Switch

Push Button Start Positions

The system operates only when the driver
is in the vehicle or within operational
range while the key is being carried.
Each time the push button start is pressed,
the ignition switches in the order of off,
ACC, and ON. Pressing the push button
start again from ON switches the ignition
off.

Push button start

Indicator light

NOTE

The engine starts by pressing the

push button start while depressing
the clutch pedal (manual transaxle)
or the brake pedal (automatic
transaxle). To switch the ignition
position, press the push button start
without depressing the pedal.

Do not leave the ignition switched

ON while the engine is not running.
Doing so could result in the battery
going dead. If the ignition is left in
ACC (For automatic transaxle, the
selector lever is in the P position, and
the ignition is in ACC), the ignition
switches off automatically after about
25 minutes.

Off

The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the push button start indicator
light (amber) also turns off.
In this position the steering wheel is
locked.

WARNING

Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the selector lever
is in P (automatic transaxle) or in 1st
gear or R (manual transaxle):
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the selector
lever to P (automatic transaxle) or
to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle)
is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave
the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off,
as leaving it in another position will
disable some of the vehicle's security
systems and run the battery down.

NOTE

(Locked steering wheel)
If the push button start indicator light
(green) is
