The three main causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed, and
improper trailer loading.
Before driving
lHave your cooling and braking system checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.lBefore 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
lYour Mazda will handle differently with a trailer in tow, so practice turning, backing,
and stopping in a traffic-free area.
lTake time to get accustomed to the extra weight and length.lAllow more room between your vehicle and the one in front because braking distance
increases with a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle
and trailer length between your Mazda and the vehicle ahead.
lAvoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.lAvoid sudden braking. It may cause loss of control and result in jackknifing, especially
so on wet or slippery roads.
lShift the shift lever to the D position when towing a trailer in hilly terrain or when
heavily loaded.
The D position will allow operating the vehicle without frequent shifting.
Lane changes and turning
Avoid quick lane changes, sudden turns, and tight turns. Slow down before turning to
avoid the need of sudden braking.
A turning trailer will make a tighter arc than the tow vehicle. Compensate with turns that
are larger than normal.
Passing
Plan well ahead to pass other vehicles, and provide plenty of room before changing lanes.
Crosswinds from passing vehicles, especially larger ones, and the effects of rough roads
will affect handling.
If swaying occurs, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately, but
gradually.
Steer straight ahead. If no extreme correction of steering or braking is made, the
combination of less speed and firm steering will result in stability.
Backing up
Backing a vehicle with a trailer requires practice and patience. Back slowly, and have a
helper outside at the rear of the trailer to reduce the risk of an accident.
To turn the trailer, place your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it in the
direction you want the trailer to go. Make only slight movements to prevent sharp or
prolonged turning.

indicator light (green) flashes.
NOTE
The push button start indicator light (green)
will flash even if the push button start is
pressed before depressing the brake pedal
(automatic transaxle) or the clutch pedal
(manual transaxle). If the clutch pedal is
depressed (manual transaxle) or the brake

clutch pedal is fully depressed (manual
transaxle) or the brake pedal is fully
depressed (automatic transaxle).
lIf there is a malfunction with the push
button start function, the push button start
indicator light (amber) flashes. In this case,
the engine may start, however, have the
vehicle checked at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
lIf the push button start indicator light
(green) does not illuminate, perform the
operation from the beginning again. If it
does not illuminate, have the vehicle
checked at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
lIf you just want to change the ignition
position (with a dead key battery), after the
push button start indicator light (green)
changes to illumination, release the brake
pedal (automatic transaxle) or the clutch
pedal (manual transaxle), and press the
push button start. The ignition switches in
the order of ACC, ON, and OFF each time
it is pressed. Once the ignition switches off,
the ignition position can no longer be
switched. Therefore, if the engine starts,
perform the operation from the beginning
again.
