Trailer Towing (U.S.A. and Canada)
▼Trailer Towing (U.S.A. and Canada)
Your Mazda was designed and built primarily to carry passengers and cargo.
If you tow a trailer, follow these instructions because driver and passenger safety
depends on proper equipment and safe driving habits. Towing a trailer will
affect
handling, braking , durability, performance, and fuel economy.
Never overload your vehicle or trailer. Co nsult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if you
need further details.
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer during the first 1,000 km (600 miles) of your new Mazda. If you
do, you may damage the engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearings, and
other power-train components.
NOTE
When towing, use of gasoline with a octane rating of 91 or higher is
recommended.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) towing
mode* which enhances vehicle stab ility when towing a trailer.
Refer to Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) (AWD) on page 4-83.
When towing a trailer, do not use the following safety systems (If a Mazda genuine
trailer hitch is used, these systems are automatically turned off):
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)Smart Brake Support [Rearward detection function]Smart Brake Support [Rear crossing]Parking Sensor System (Rear)Blind Spot Assist of Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
▼ We igh t L imits
TTW and GCWR
The total trailer weight (TTW), gross comb
ination weight rating (GCWR), gross axle
weight rating (GAWR), trailer load, and trailer tongue load must be within the
prescribed limits.
The total trailer weight (TTW) is the sum of the weights of the trailer load (trailer
weight plus cargo), trailer hitch, 2 passengers, and vehicle load (baggage, food,
camp gear, etc.). Never allow the total trailer weight (TTW) to exceed
specifications in the Trailer Towing-Load Table.
The maximum GCWR is the combination weight of the trailer and load plus the
towing vehicle (including trailer hitch, ve hicle passengers, and load). It must not
exceed the specifications in the load table.

Tra n s m i s s i o n R a n ge s
▼Transmission Ranges
The shift position indication in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
Refer to Shift Position Indication on
page 4-40.
Shift the selector lever to the P or N
position to start the engine.
P (Park)
P locks the transmission and prevents
the front wheels from rotating.
WARNING
Always set the selector lever to P
position and set the parking brake:
Only setting the selector lever to the P
position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous.
If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
CAUTION
 Shifting into P, N or R while the
vehicle is moving can damage your
transmission.
 Shifting into a driving gear or reverse
when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the
transmission.
R (Reverse)
In position R, the vehicle moves only
backward. You must be at a complete
stop before shifting to or from R,
except under rare circumstances as
explained in Rocking the Vehicle (page
3-49).
NOTE
(With parking sensor system)
When the selector lever is shifted to
the R position with the ignition
switched ON, the parking sensor
system is activated and a beep sound is
heard.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page
4-215.
N (Neutral)
In N, the wheels and transmission are
not locked. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless the
parking brake or brakes are on.
WARNING
If the engine is running faster than
idle, do not shift from N or P into a
driving gear:
It's dangerous to shift from N or P into
a driving gear when the engine is
running faster than idle. If this is done,
the vehicle could move suddenly,
causing an accident or serious injury.
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle:
Shifting into N while driving is
dangerous. Engine braking cannot be
applied when decelerating which
could lead to an accident or serious
injury.
CAUTION
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle. Doing so can cause
transmission damage.
NOTE
Apply the parking brake or depress the
brake pedal before moving the selector
lever from N position to prevent the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly.

i-ACTIVSENSE*
▼i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term
covering a series of advanced safety
and driver support systems which
make use of cameras and sensors. The
systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist
the driver in safer driving by reducing
the load on the driver and helping to
avert collisions or reduce their severity.
However, because each system has its
limitations, always drive carefully and
do not rely solely on the systems.
▼Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer
driving by helping the driver to
recognize potential hazards and avert
accidents.

Mazda Radar Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
*
▼ Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
The MRCC with Stop & Go function is
a system designed to enable
constant-speed driving at a set speed
and headway control to maintain a
constant distance with a vehicle ahead
according to your vehicle speed. The
system automatically accelerates,
decelerates, and stops your vehicle
without you having to depress the
accelerator or brake pedal.

Also refer to the following information
before using the MRCC with Stop &
Go function.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-189.
Refer to Front Radar Sensor on page
4-193.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC
with Stop & Go function and always
drive carefully:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function
may not be able to detect a vehicle
ahead depending on the type of
vehicle and its conditions, the weather
conditions, and the road conditions.
Additionally, the system might be
unable to decelerate sufficiently if the
vehicle ahead applies the brakes
suddenly or another vehicle cuts into
your lane, which could result in an
accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Do not use the system under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident:

The vehicle is driven on roads other
than highways.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy traffic
where sufficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
 The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
 The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.
 The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
 The vehicle is driven on a long
downslope.
 The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
 A two-wheeled vehicle such as a
motorcycle or bicycle is traveling
ahead.
 The vehicle is being towed or towing
another vehicle.
 Proximity warnings activate
frequently.
Switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
function off when it is not being used.
Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go
function on when it is not in use is
dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
