Liftgate/Boot Lid
WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot is
dangerous. The person in the luggage
compartment/boot could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.

Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid
open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid
in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colourless, odourless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause loss
of consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate/boot lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.

Do not stack or leave loaded
luggage unsecured in the luggage
compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear ¿ eld of view.
CAUTION

 Before opening the liftgate/boot
lid, remove any snow and ice
accumulation on it. Otherwise, the
liftgate/boot lid could close under the
weight of the snow and ice resulting
in injury.
  Be careful when opening/closing
the liftgate/boot lid during strong
winds. If a strong gust blows against
the liftgate/boot lid, it could close
suddenly resulting in injury.
  Fully open the liftgate/boot lid and
make sure that it stays open. If the
liftgate/boot lid is only opened
partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.
  When loading or unloading luggage
in the luggage compartment/boot,
turn off the engine. Otherwise, you
could get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.
  Be careful not to apply excessive
force to the damper stay on the
liftgate such as by putting your hand
on the stay. Otherwise, the damper
stay may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.

Luggage Compartment
Luggage compartment cover
(Hatchback) *
WARNING
Do not place anything on top of the
cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top
of the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking
or a collision, the cargo could become
a projectile that could hit and injure
someone. The vehicle has a light
weight luggage compartment cover to
keep the contents of your luggage area
out of sight; it will not retain heavy
objects that are not tied down in an
accident such as a rollover. Tie down
all heavy objects, whether luggage or
cargo, using the tie down hooks.

Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving
is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
CAUTION
Make sure the luggage compartment
cover is ¿ rmly secured. If it is not
¿ rmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury. The luggage compartment can be accessed
by opening the liftgate when the straps are
attached to the sides of the liftgate.

Removing the cover
This cover can be removed for more room.

1. Remove the straps from the hooks.
2. Lift the end of the luggage
compartment cover a little, pull it
outward, and remove it from the pins.

time.
 


 Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
 


 Avoid unnecessary hard stops.

Before Driving
Towing
Towing Caravans and Trailers (Europe/Turkey/South
Africa)
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 Authorised Mazda Dealer if you need further
details.
CAUTION
  Do not tow a trailer during the ¿ rst 1,000 km (600 miles) of your new Mazda. If you
do, you may damage the engine, transaxle, differential, wheel bearings, and other
power train components.
  Damage caused by towing a trailer/caravan is not covered by the vehicle's warranty for
the following models and countries:
 


 All models in Turkey



 Saloon models
Weight Limits

The total trailer weight, gross combination weight and trailer nose weight must be
within the prescribed limits in the Trailer Towing-Load Table.

TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT:


Sum of weights of the trailer and its load.

GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT:


Sum of total trailer weight and towing vehicle weight; including trailer hitch, vehicle
passengers, and vehicle load.

3–57
Before Driving
Towing
TRAILER NOSE WEIGHT:


The weight exerted on the trailer tongue. It is varied by changing the weight distribution
when loading the trailer.

CAUTION
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 gross combination weight heading in the maximum trailer towing-load table. If the
determined maximum total towing load weight is exceeded, the engine and other power
train parts may be damaged.

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.
