Panorama Sunroof*
▼Panorama Sunroof
The panorama sunroof can be opened
or closed when operating the
overhead tilt/slide switch at the front
seats.
WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or
extend part of the body through the
open panorama sunroof while the
vehicle is moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the
panorama sunroof is dangerous. The
head or arms could hit something
while the vehicle is moving. This could
cause serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the
tilt/slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow
children to operate the panorama
sunroof unintentionally, which could
result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the panorama sunroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the panorama sunroof:
A closing panorama sunroof is
dangerous. The hands, head, or even
neck of a person, especially a child,
could be caught in it as it closes,
causing serious injury or even death.
Make sure nothing blocks the
panorama sunroof just before it
reaches the fully closed position:
Blocking the panorama sunroof just
before it reaches the closed position is
dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the panorama sunroof
from closing. If fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.
CAUTION

Do not sit on or put heavy items on
the area where the panorama
sunroof opens and closes.
Otherwise, the panorama sunroof
could be damaged.
 Do not open or close the panorama
sunroof forcefully during freezing
temperatures or snowfall. Otherwise,
the panorama sunroof could be
damaged.
 The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push
it up.
 Do not close the sunshade while the
panorama sunroof is opening. Trying
to force the sunshade closed could
damage it.

Theft-Deterrent System*
▼Theft-Deterrent System
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle,
which could result in the vehicle or its
contents being stolen, the alarm alerts
the surrounding area of an abnormality
by sounding the horn and flashing the
hazard warning lights.

The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the

with the transmitter.
(With the advanced keyless function)
The lights and horn can also be
deactivated by touching the sensing
area of the door release touch sensor.

Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 4-78.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the front wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the front wheels.
NOTE
Use snow chains only on the front
wheels.
Floor Mat
▼Floor Mat
We recommend the use of Genuine
Mazda
floor mats.
WARNING
Make sure the
floor mats are hooked
on the retention pins to prevent them
from bunching up under the foot
pedals:
Using a floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation,
which could result in an accident.
Do not install two floor mats, one on
top of the other, on the driver's side:
Installing two floor mats, one on top of
the other, on the driver's side is
dangerous as the retention pins can
only keep one floor mat from sliding
forward.
Loose floor mat(s) will interfere with
the foot pedals and could result in an
accident.
If using an all-weather mat for winter
use always remove the original floor
mat.
When setting a floor mat, position the
floor mat so that its grommets are
inserted over the pointed end of the
retention posts.

Driving Tips

CX-50_8KB8-EA-22A_Edition2_new 2022-1-6 14:55:18

Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
▼ Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
Inflate
snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2,
4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (driver's door
frame), but never more than the
maximum cold-tire pressure shown on
the tires.

The vehicle is orig inally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-203).
▼ Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.
CAUTION

Chains may affect handling.
 Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
 Avoid locked-wheel braking.
 Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
 Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
 Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when
using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Installing the chains
1. Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Retighten the chains after driving 1/2 ―1 km (1/4 ―1/2 mile).
Before Driving
Driving Tips

CX-50_8KB8-EA-22A_Edition2_new 2022-1-6 14:55:18

Steer straight ahead. If no extreme correction of steering or braking is made, the
combination of less speed and firm steering will result in stability.
Backing up
Backing a vehicle with a trailer requires practice and patience. Back slowly, and have
a helper outside at the rear of the trai ler to reduce the risk of an accident.
To turn the trailer, place your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it in
the direction you want the trailer to go. Make only slight movements to prevent
sharp or prolonged turning.
Ascending a hill
Shift into a lower gear to reduce the possibility of overloading or overheating the
engine, or both.
Descending a hill
Shift into a lower gear and use engine compression as a braking effect.
WARNING
Always use lower gears to reduce speed:
Holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently is dangerous as it could
cause the brakes to overheat and lose power, resulting in loss of control and a
serious accident. Use lower gears to help reduce speed. Pull off the road and allow
brakes to cool down whenever braking performance feels reduced.
Overheated engine
The extra weight of the trailer may strain the engine on hot days and on long or
steep upgrades.
If the temperature gauge indicates overheating, turn off the air conditioner, drive
safely to the side of the road, park off the right-of-way and wait for engine to cool.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-15.
Pa r k i n g
Always make sure the tires of the trailer and the tow vehicle are blocked while
parked.
Apply the parking brake firmly and put the transmission in P.
Avoid parking on an incline, but if you must, follow these instructions:
1. Depress and hold down the brake pedal.
2. Have a helper put wheel blocks against the downhill side of all vehicle and trailer tires.
3. Then release the brake pedal slowly until the blocks bear the load.
If the grade is downhill, turn the steering wheel so that the front of the front
tires face the curb.
If it is uphill, face the rear of the front tires against the curb.

4. Firmly apply the parking brake.
5. Shift the transmission into P, and stop the engine.
To restart after parking on an incline:
1. With the transmission in P, start the engine. (Be sure to depress and hold thebrake pedal.)
2. Shift into gear.
3. Release the parking brake (also the foot brake) and pull away from the wheel blocks. Stop; apply the parking brake and shift into P.
4. Have a helper retrieve the wheel blocks.
Fuel consumption
Trailer towing causes higher fuel consumption.
Maintenance
If you tow a trailer frequently, have your vehicle serviced as shown in Scheduled
Maintenance (page 6-4).
