Before Driving
Towing
Trailer Brakes
Check the Maximum trailer towing-load table in Weight Limits (page 3-54 ), and if your
trailer weight exceeds the value in the TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT (Trailer without brake),
trailer brakes are required.
If your trailer has brakes, make sure they meet regulations.
WARNING
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.
Trailer Towing Tips
Before driving
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 incorrect nose weight, worn suspension parts, and trailer overloading. Have the vehicle
inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Make sure the trailer cargo is secure to prevent it from shifting.
Make sure the mirrors meet all government regulations. Inspect them.
Before starting out, inspect the operation of all vehicle and trailer lights and all vehicle-
to-trailer connections. Stop and re-inspect all lights and connections after driving a short
distance.
Driving
Your Mazda will handle differently with a trailer in tow, so practice turning, backing, and
stopping in a traffi c-free area.
Take time to get accustomed to the extra weight and length.
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) with a trailer in tow. If the local legal maximum speed
with a trailer in tow is less than 100 km/h (62 mph), do not exceed the legal speed.
CAUTION
If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph) with a trailer in tow, the vehicle could be
damaged.

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber) illuminates.
In this position the steering wheel is
unlocked.
NOTE
The keyless entry system does not
function while the push button start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will
not lock/unlock even if they have been
locked manually.
O N
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. The indicator light
(amber) turns off. (The indicator light
(amber) illuminates when the ignition
is switched ON and the engine is not
running.)
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine is
started (page 4-36 ).
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0)
When the push button start is pressed
to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can
be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
Starting the Engine
WARNING
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
NOTE
The key must be carried because the
key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
The engine can be started when the
push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
The push button start system
functions (function which can start
the engine by only carrying the
key) can be deactivated to prevent
any possible adverse effect on a
user wearing a pacemaker or other
medical device. If the system is
deactivated, you will be unable
to start the engine by carrying the
key. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer for details. If the push
button start system functions have
been deactivated, you can start the
engine by following the procedure
indicated when the key battery goes
dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When
Key Battery is Dead on page 4-9 .

Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page

NOTE
After refuelling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
The direction of the arrow ()
indicates that the fuel-fi ller fl ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
