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 fi rmly secured. If it is not
fi rmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury.

Driving Tips
Running-In
No special running-in is necessary, but
a few precautions in the fi rst 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
Avoid full-throttle starts.
Do not tow a trailer.
Saving Fuel and
Protection of the
Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
Avoid fast starts.
Drive at lower speeds.
Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
Follow the maintenance schedule
(page 6-3 ) and have an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform inspections and
servicing.
Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
Slow down on rough roads.
Keep the tyres properly infl ated.
Do not carry unnecessary weight.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Keep windows closed at high speeds.
Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.

Before Driving
Towing
Towing Caravans and Trailers (Europe/Russia/Turkey/
Israel/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 fi 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 in Turkey is not covered by the vehicle's
warranty.
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.
TRAILER NOSE WEIGHT:
The weight exerted on the trailer tongue. It is varied by changing the weight distribution
when loading the trailer.

Towing
CAUTION
Be aware of the towing load weight differences when towing at high altitudes. For
altitudes exceeding 1,000 m, always reduce the towing load by 10% for every 1,000 m
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.
