Drive Selection*
▼Drive Selection
Drive selection is a system to switch
the vehicle's drive mode. When the
sport mode is selected, vehicle's
response against accelerator operation
is enhanced. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be
needed to safely make maneuvers such
as lane changes, merging onto
freeways, or passing other vehicles.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when
driving on slippery roads such as wet
or snow-covered roads. It may cause
tire slipping.
NOTE
When the sport mode is selected,
driving at higher engine speeds
increases and it may increase fuel
consumption. Mazda recommends

Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tire
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-8)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling , ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.

▼Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done
only by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing an AWD
vehicle, where all the wheels are
connected to the drive train, proper
transporting of the vehicle is absolutely
essential to avoid damaging the drive
system. Government and local laws
must be followed.
1. Wheel dollies

A towed FWD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels)
off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.

When towing a FWD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground, release the
parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-64.

A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow an AWD vehicle with all
four wheels
off the ground:
Towing an AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail
away from the tow truck and cause an
accident. If the drive train has been
damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
CAUTION

Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing

CX-30_8JP5-EA-20K_Edition1_new 2020-7-22 15:50:09

CAUTION
In addition, the
effectiveness of the
braking may diminish so you may
need to depress the brake pedal
more strongly than normal to stop
the vehicle.

▼ Electronic Brake Force Distribution
System Warning
If the electronic brake force
distribution control unit determines
that some components are operating
incorrectly, the control unit may
illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light
simultaneously. The problem is likely to
be the electronic brake force
distribution system.
WARNING
Do not drive with both the brake
system warning light and ABS warning
light illuminated. Have the vehicle
towed to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to have the brakes inspected as
soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning
light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.
▼
Charging System Warning
Indication/Warning Light
If the warning light illuminates while
driving, it indicates a malfunction of
the alternator or of the charging
system.
Drive to the side of the road and park
off the right-of-way. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving when the
charging system warning light is
illuminated because the engine could
stop unexpectedly.
▼Engine Oil Warning Indication/
Warning Light
This warning light indicates low engine
oil pressure.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil
pressure is low. Otherwise, it could
result in extensive engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning
indication is displayed while driving:
1. Drive to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way on level
ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5
minutes for the oil to drain back
into the oil pan.

▼ABS Warning Indication/Warning
Light
If the ABS warning light stays on while
you're driving, the ABS control unit has
detected a system malfunction. If this
occurs, your brakes will function
normally as if the vehicle had no ABS.
Should this happen, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE
When the engine is jump-started to
charge the battery, uneven rpm
occurs and the ABS warning light
may illuminate. If this occurs, it is the
result of the weak battery and does
not indicate an ABS malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
The brake assist system does not
operate while the ABS warning light
is illuminated.
▼Master Warning Indication
The indication displays if the system
has a malfunction.
Check the reason for the indication
displaying on the center display or
multi-information display.
