suspension MAZDA MODEL CX-30 2019 Owners Manual (in English)

Never install any front-end equipment
to your vehicle:
Installation of front-end equipment,
such as frontal protection bar
(kangaroo bar, bull bar, push bar, or
other similar devices), snowplow, or
winches, is dangerous. The air bag
crash sensor system could be affected.
This could cause air bags to inflate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the
air bags from inflating during an
accident. Front occupants could be
seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension:
Modifying the vehicle suspension is
dangerous. If the vehicle's height or
the suspension is modified, the vehicle
will be unable to accurately detect a
collision or roll-over accident resulting
in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
Do not modify a front door or leave
any damage unrepaired. Always have
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) inspect a
damaged front door:
Modifying a front door or leaving any
damage unrepaired is dangerous. Each
front door has a side crash sensor as a
component of the supplementary
restraint system. If holes are drilled in a
front door, a door speaker is left
removed, or a damaged door is left
unrepaired, the sensor could be
adversely
affected causing it to not
detect the pressure of an impact
correctly during a side collision. If a
sensor does not detect a side impact
correctly, the side and curtain air bags
and the seat belt pretensioners may
not operate normally which could
result in serious injury to occupants.Do not modify the supplementary
restraint system:
Modifying the components or wiring of
the supplementary restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable. Do
not make any modifications to the
supplementary restraint system. This
includes installing trim, badges, or
anything else over the air bag modules.
It also includes installing extra
electrical equipment on or near system
components or wiring. An expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) can
provide the special care needed in the
removal and installation of front seats.
It is important to protect the air bag
wiring and connections to assure that
the bags do not accidentally deploy,
and that the driver seat slide position
sensor is not damaged and the seats
retain an undamaged air bag
connection.
Do not place luggage or other objects
under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under
the front seats is dangerous. The
components essential to the
supplementary restraint system could
be damaged, and in the event of a side
collision, the appropriate air bags may
not deploy, which could result in death
or serious injury. To prevent damage to
the components essential to the
supplementary restraint system, do not
place luggage or other objects under
the front seats.

▼Ty re s
When towing a trailer, make sure all
tyres are inflated to the recommended
cold-tyre pressure, as indicated on the
tyre pressure chart on the driver's door
frame. Trailer tyre size, load rating, and
inflation pressures should conform to
tyre manufacturer specifications.
WARNING
Never use the temporary spare tyre
when towing:
Using the temporary spare tyre on your
vehicle when towing a trailer is
dangerous as it could result in tyre
failure, loss of control, and injury to
vehicle occupants.
▼Safety Chains
Safety chains must be used as a
precautionary measure should the
trailer become unintentionally
unhitched. They should cross under the
trailer tongue and attach to the hitch.
Leave enough slack to allow full turns.
Consult literature published by your
trailer or hitch manufacturer for more
details.
WARNING
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.
▼Trailer Lights
CAUTION
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. To connect the lighting
system, consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer)
▼Trailer Brakes
Check the Maximum trailer
towing-load table in Weight Limits
(page 3-61), 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
xVerify 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

Adaptive LED Headlights
(ALH)
*
▼Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The ALH are a system which uses the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) to
determine the situation of a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction while driving at
night to automatically switch the
illumination range of the headlights,
the illuminated area, or the
illumination brightness.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
The ALH are controlled between high
and low beams as follows to assure the
driver’s visibility without dazzling a
vehicle ahead or a vehicle approaching
in the opposite direction.
Glare-Free High Beam
This feature dims only the high-beam
light shone on the vehicle ahead.
The high beams will dim while driving
at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or faster. When the vehicle speed is
less than about 30 km/h (19 mph),
the beams switch to the low beams.
NOTE
The headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams are
on.
Wide-Range Low Beam
This feature extends the illumination
range of the light cast by the low
beams while driving at a speed less
than about 40 km/h (25 mph).
Highway Mode
This feature shifts the illumination
angle of the light cast by the headlights
upward while driving on highways.
The distance in which the ALH can
detect objects varies depending on the
surrounding conditions.
CAUTION
¾Do not modify the suspensions or
headlight units, or remove the
camera. Otherwise, the ALH may not
operate normally.
¾Do not rely excessively on the ALH
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
ALH may not operate normally.
Manually switch between the high and
low beams according to the visibility,
and the road and traffic conditions.
