Warnings and CautionsWhen Using the Assist Grips
WARNING
Never hang heavy or sharp objects on
the assist grips and coat hooks.
Hanging heavy or sharp-ended objects
such as a coat hanger from the assist
grips or coat hooks is dangerous as
they can fly off and hit an occupant in
the cabin if a curtain air bag was to
deploy, which could result in serious
injury or death.
Do not use the assist grips when
getting in and out of the vehicle or
getting out of a seat.
An assist grip could break under a
heavy load resulting in injury.
How to Use the Assist
Grips
Use the assist grips to support your
body while seated in the vehicle and
while the vehicle is moving.

To w i n g
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
economy.
Never overload vehicle or trailer.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if
you need further details.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
mechanism, which enhances vehicle
stability when towing a trailer.
Refer to Trailer Stability Control
(TSC) on page 5-90.
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
when the trailer's electrical
connector is connected):
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)Smart Brake Support (SBS) reverse
drive detection
Parking Sensor System (Rear)Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
Blind Spot Assist
Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
Head-on traffic avoidance assist
Turn off the aforementioned safety
systems when towing a trailer
without a genuine Mazda trailer
hitch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Mazda intelligent Drive Select
(Mi-Drive) towing mode which
enhances vehicle stability when
towing a trailer.
Refer to Mazda intelligent Drive
Select (Mi-Drive) on page 5-96.

Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Towing
WARNING
Always keep tow loads within
specified limits as indicated in the
Trailer Towing-Load Table:
Attempting to tow loads greater than
those specified is dangerous as it may
cause serious handling and
performance problems that could
result in personal injury or vehicle
damage, or both.
Load your trailer with the weight
about 60 % toward the front and
40 % toward the rear:
Loading the trailer with more weight in
the rear than in the front is dangerous.
Doing so could cause you to lose
control. The trailer tongue load must
be 10 % ―15 % of the total trailer load
(sum of the weights of the trailer and
cargo).
Always have the total trailer weight
and tongue load determined prior to
departure:
Attempting to tow loads without
determining the total trailer weight and
tongue load is dangerous. Trailer sway
from crosswinds, rough roads or other
causes could result in loss of control
and a serious accident.
Always make sure the trailer hitch is
securely attached before departure:
An unsecured trailer hitch is dangerous
as it causes greater trailer sway from
crosswinds, rough roads or other
causes, resulting in loss of control and
a serious accident.
Examine all trailer-hitch mounting
bolts regularly and tighten any that are
loose. If the hitch is removed, seal any
open mounting holes to prevent
exhaust, dust, water, dirt and other
foreign elements from filtering in,
possibly endangering personal safety
and damaging your vehicle.
Do not install a hitch that stiffens the
bumper as it will reduce the bumper's
performance.
Make sure there are no exhaust gas
leaks into the passenger compartment
if any mounting bolts are connected
to the body:
Modifying your vehicle exhaust system
is dangerous. Exhaust gas entering the
vehicle could cause loss of
consciousness or even death.
When mounting the trailer hitch, make
no modifications to the vehicle exhaust
system.
Never use the temporary spare tire
when towing:
Using the temporary spare tire on your
vehicle when towing a trailer is
dangerous as it could result in tire
failure, loss of control, and injury to
vehicle occupants.
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.

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.
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.
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.
 Be aware of the towing load weight
differences when towing at high
altitudes. For altitudes exceeding
1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always
reduce the towing load by 10 % for
every 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in)
increase in altitude from the load
indicated under the maximum
GCWR heading in the trailer
towing-load table. If the determined
maximum total towing load weight is
exceeded, the engine and other
power-train parts may be damaged.
 The total trailer weight and tongue
load can be determined by weighing
the trailer on platform scales at a
highway weight station or a trucking
company.
Make all hitch adjustments with
actual loads. Do not load and
unload vehicle while adjusting hitch.
This action will change the vehicle
height.
 Do not use an axle-mounted hitch.
This may damage the axle and
related parts.
 If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62
mph) with a trailer in tow, the
vehicle could be damaged.
 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. Have a recreational
vehicle dealer or trailer rental agency
connect the system, and inspect the
brake lights and turn signals yourself
before each trip.

How to Use the Towing
NOTE
The three main causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed,
and improper trailer loading.
Trailer towing causes higher fuel consumption.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.
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 incorrec t tongue load, worn suspension parts,
and trailer overloading.
Make sure the trailer is properly loaded and the cargo is secure to prevent it from
shifting.
Make sure the mirrors conform to all govern ment regulations. If they do not, install
required rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.
